Happy Guru Nanak Jayanti!

In RE last week we had a whole school topic, learning about Sikhism and the ‘Guru Nanak Jayanti’ festival. Each year group learned about the festival at a level appropriate to them and produced some fantastic pieces of work. The children’s work has been presented at the front of school, showcasing the children’s knowledge and understanding.

โ€œThe best thing about this school, when I ask my child this question, he said Mrs Emmerson.ย โ€œ
