Year 4 have continued their learning about the Hindu religion this week, by looking at how they worship and learning about the items that are used on a Puja tray. The classroom has been filled with the aroma of incense and we have lit diva lamps too.

On Monday the Nursery children found a den in the woods, which they loved, so they worked really hard to build their own den. They all worked as a team picking up sticks safely and carrying them to the den.
