Reception - Spring 2 - Week 5

Date: 21st Mar 2024 @ 4:51pm

The weeks are flying by, we can’t believe it’s nearly the end of term!

The children had their final visit from Caroline as part of our Lent programme. Caroline brought her friend Peter the palm tree to tell the children about what it was like on Palm Sunday. Caroline told the children about ‘the last supper’ and the children talked about what they would eat if it was their last supper. Caroline then talked to the children about the meaning of Easter and told them the Easter story. Thank you Caroline for another lovely session.

This week the children have enjoyed learning all about ‘Ramadan’ and the religion of ‘Islam’. The children discussed how followers of Islam are called Muslims, and that Muslims believe there is one true God called ‘Allah’. We also learnt that ‘Ramadan’ is a period of fasting not eating or drinking during daylight hours. The children also enjoyed looking at similarities and differences between the Muslim faith and the Christian faith, there were more than you would think!

The children have been practicing songs for the Easter Bonnet ‘WOW’ service next Wednesday and we can’t wait to perform them to all our family and friends.

We hope you all have a lovely weekend and see you next week.
