This week in our Celebration Assembly, we celebrated some fantastic writing from the children.

Holi, a major Hindu festival, symbolises the victory of good over evil and celebrates the love between Lord Krishna and Radha. This year it was celebrated on March 4^th.

Today, the children took part in a wonderful hands-on experience creating a traditional Indian meal. There was a real sense of excitement and enthusiasm as they prepared to become chefs for the day!

In their English sessions, the children have been learning how to write a clear and effective set of instructions for making a biodegradable plant pot out of newspaper. They have explored the key features of instructional writing, understanding that the heading must clearly explain the purpose of the instructions while also engaging the reader to encourage them to continue reading. The children know that the steps need to be written in chronological order and have learnt how to use time adverbs and imperative verbs effectively. They also understand that each step must be clear and detailed to ensure the reader can follow the instructions easily and achieve success.

This week, year 4 had the opportunity to visit a Hindu temple in Broughton as part of their topic on India.
