Our religious visits
In RE, the children have been learning all about different religions and their sacred celebrations. As part of this unit, the children have learnt about Easter and enjoyed a visit from Hatfield Travis Church where the children were able to learn more about the Easter story look at different Christian artefacts. Later on in the term, the children were able to visit Doncaster Mosque and explore the prayer rooms and books written in Arabic. As part of the visit, the children were able to witness a demonstration of a typical prayer and were surprised to learn that this can happen 5 times a day, even early in the morning! Towards the end of the visit, the children had a chance to look at the library and experience books written in Arabic. The children were amazed that they had to read Arabic from right to left. When asked about their favourite parts of the visit, the children said they enjoyed learning about how other religions pray and having the opportunity to look round a new environment that haven’t experience before. When asked if they enjoyed the visit, all of the children said they had and would recommend the visit to others

Key Documents
DT Day: Textile Puppets!
In design and technology we have been creating puppets! The children first started by exploring different joining techniques including gluing, stapling and pinning. Afterwards, the children used their preferred joining technique to design their own hand puppet for the story of 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'. Take a look at their fantastic creations below.
Marvellous Mathematicians
The children have been learning about measures. They have used practical resources to explore mass and capacity in order to measure and compare different objects. The children have explored the difference between different units of measures such as grams and kilograms.
