Year 6 Mosque Visit

Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Telford Central Mosque today. We are very grateful to the Imam and Mr Maqsood for helping arrange the visit. The children were fantastic and learned an awful lot during their time there. Revered Merry also attended the visit and it was great to show the understanding of both faiths to the children. 

Here a few quotes that the children gave about their visit:

“It was really fun to learn about another religion and visit their place of worship…”

“I thought it was really informative and I learned lots of new things…”

“My favorite part was learning some Arabic words…”

“It was fun to get to see their prayer mats and listen to the talk about how important the pillars are in Islam…”

1st February Music morning and MFL visit to Burton Borough

Today, we were visited by Miss Simpson from TACT and she delivered a musical theatre workshop for all children.

Yr6 children learned how to sing Circle of Life and performed the song fantastically well.

This afternoon, the whole of Yr6 walked round to Burton Borough to have some French and Spanish taster lessons. Lessons were led by Mrs Irvine-Remson, Mrs Morgan and Mrs Reciogarcia. Thank you to the MFL department of Burton Borough for welcoming us in to the school and for providing some very enjoyable lessons.
