Enhancing RE learning in Year 6
Tue 30 Apr 2024Mikhail’s mum kindly joined us in year six this afternoon to share her experiences and beliefs in order to help us with our learning in RE. Year six are considering what makes a good person and whether, for Muslims, belief in life after death is what motivates people to do good. Mikhail and his mum talked to us about their faith, shared photos and even brought in two prayer mats for us to see. Monarchs enjoyed the opportunity to ask lots of questions and then reflected on how there are similarities between Islam and others religions. We also considered that those with no faith also shared values of kindness and respect for others

Mon 29 Apr 2024Our year four maths team competed in the Herts maths challenge on Monday afternoon. Mrs Gibbs said it was a tough challenge with a particularly tricky estimation round.

Eid Assembly
Fri 19 Apr 2024This afternoon, we were joined by a special visitor, Faizah, who shared her faith and experiences of Ramadan and Eid with us. Many of our pupils and staff have recently celebrated, and it was wonderful for everyone else to hear all about these special occasions. Through Faizah’s assembly, we learned why Muslims fast and when. We also found out that the Qur’an is written in Arabic and we heard it being spoken. In addition, Faizah showed us beautiful clothing and prayer mats and we learned what Eid celebrations involve. Thank you to Faizah for visiting us
