Today, Elm have visited Clitheroe Mosque. We met Imam Ubai and Uncle Farooq who showed us how people prayer and how people prepare for prayer through washing. It was really great to see what we have learnt first hand
This morning Larch class went to visit Ruth at Ribble Valley Foodbank. We were able to give her 216 items that will be used to support families in our local community. The foodbank were so grateful for all of our donations and told us it was 'kindness in action'. Thank you to everyone for all your support.
Sycamore class enjoyed their visit to The Gujarat Hindu Temple, in Preston, on Tuesday morning.
Our guide was very friendly and welcoming, sharing his knowledge of Hinduism and recounting some Hindu stories. It was a lovely morning!
We're excited to announce the newest member of our school family – Tiny, a two-month-old Horsefield tortoise! Chosen by the children through a vote, Tiny has already become a beloved addition, bringing joy and valuable lessons about responsibility to our school community.
Year 3 enjoyed learning more about Hinduism today. They dressed up in traditional Hindu clothing, performed a Puja ceremony in class, learnt about the story of Rama and Sita, made Diwali lanterns, created Rangoli designs and learnt a Hindu dance while listening to Ravi Shankar playing the Sitar. An action packed RE morning!
Year 6 had an amazing morning History workshop with 'Delve into History' learning all about the Vikings! They got to handle a range of replica Viking artefacts, try on some Viking costumes and even got to have a go at axe and stone flinging to see how well they completed Viking games. Our game winners then got to drink from the Viking horn as a reward!
The children had a great day in the snow
On Friday, every child in the school took part in the Spring Poetry Festival. Each class performed their poem and they were all amazing! Poems included: Snowflake on My Nose, The Gruffalo, When Daddy Fell into the Pond, Boogy Woogy Buggy, Roger the Dog, Little Red Riding Hood and The Dinner Lady Dance. We can't wait for the Summer Poetry Festival.
On Wednesday, the children in Year 4 all designed and made their own Mayan headdresses. Their task was to create the most elaborate headdress, so they could be crowned the High Priest. Following a parade through the school, Mrs McArdle judged the head dresses, and we now have a new High Priest of Rowan Class.
