This week we start our new topic, In what ways is a church important to believers? The children began this topic by looking at the religion of Islam and the importance of mosques.
Beech Class Forest School
Beech class were back at forest school this week. It’s been a dry few weeks so we made our own mud with water, painted with it and made potions, soup and hot chocolate. We had fun transferring water from one container to another with syringes and pots. We finished up by resting on the grass and thinking about what our favourite part of the session that day had been.
