Year 3 studied the Islamic faith learning about their
beliefs and how they pray. On Tuesday 10th March, we visited
a Turkish Mosque. We had such a warm welcome from the Iman
who also spoke to us about what they believe and how they
act out their faith through their actions in everyday life.
It was interesting to go inside another persons place of
worship and see how they follow a faith.
Children were looking at a large map of London during that
time looking at what buildings were harmed during the
fire. They also designed their own monument to commemorate
the Fire.

learning on the Sikh faith. The children had a presentation,
learnt about Gurus, traditions, the 5Ks and the faith’s
history/ developments over the last 500 years.
Selected artists and writers from years 3 and 4 had the
opportunity to attend the Marvellous and Mischievous

‘House of Lords’ and ‘House of Commons.’
Year 5 visited City Hall in Central London to understand
more about the job of the Mayor of London. We went on a tour

On the 7th of December, a small group of children had the

their parents. They watched a wonderful performance of,
"We're Going on a Bear Hunt."
Year 1 and 6 pupils completed fieldwork in West Ham Park
using self-made compasses. They enjoyed collecting specific
leaves which would act as a boat for their magnetised paper
