International Day of Happiness 2018
We have been talking about things that made us happy. We wrote a list of the most important ones and shared them with the class. We also found out about what makes children in other parts of the world happy, after watch some video clips on the British Council schools resource website. After finding out where Ethiopia was, in Africa, we found out about a little girl called Amran.
Pupils will be investigating a variety of inspirational women, from now and in the past, as part of their studies on International Women's Day. Why not ask you child who they have been finding out about?
World Maths Day 2018

World Religion Day 2018
You may or may not know that World Religions Day falls on Sunday 21st January 2018. It is important that pupils are aware of religions around the world and are given opportunities to develop respect and tolerances by becoming better informed about how and why people worship in different ways. The more knowledgeable they are about different religious beliefs the better chance they will have of living in harmony.
Children already learn about specific religions appropriate to their age groups but over the next few days we will be providing the opportunity to extend their learning even further.
We investigated lots of different artefacts from different religions.
In November, our Swedish visitors told us all about Sweden, Dala horses and St Lucia festival.
The whole school investigated different aspects of food as part of our Wold Food Day celebrations on 16th October 2017.
