We welcomed Rev Andrew Quigley to lead our Harvest Festival assembly today. Harvest is a time for thanking God for the food we have and to share that food with others who are hungry. Thank you to everyone who brough a tin of food into school. Members of the School Council will take these to the food bank over the next few days.
In the final faith-based assembly, the children learned all about Buddhism.
Today we welcomed Ian and Ginny from the Highfields Synagogue to lead our assembly. The assembly was informative and interesting and as always our children asked some fantastic questions to strengthen their own knowledge and understanding.
