Multi-Faith Week
Last week, all pupils spent the week learning about the importance of pilgrimage to different people of faith.
The week started with an introduction to pilgrimage in worship, focusing on special journeys to special places. We compared a kit bag full of things we might take on a holiday abroad compared to a bag containing the types of contents that a Christian might take on a journey to a sacred, holy place. We found out about why so many Catholics from across the globe travel to the south west corner of France to visit Lourdes.
Every day of the week, each teacher spent some time with the different classes teaching them about the importance of pilgrimage to Jews, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists. On Friday afternoon, the children shared their learning from the week in our special celebration assembly.
