We are thrilled to announce that the children in Year 6 who took part in the Weald Book Awards this year have won the trailer competition for the 4th year running! The children worked so hard on creating a fantastic stop motion trailer for the book Me, My Dad and the End of the Rainbow by Benjamin Dean. You can see our entry on our YouTube channel here:
See our Twitter account @WisGreenPrimary for Benjamin Dean's feedback!
We are also very proud to say that we had winners in the following categories:
In Year 3, children learn about the core beliefs, ideas and symbols of Islam as part of their RE curriculum. On 7th February they visited Horsham Mosque to learn more about the traditions and customs and to deepen their understanding by experiencing another culture first-hand. Everyone came back full of information to share!
Horsham Mosque is situated in an old house and only has room for men and boys to worship. Year 3 visited the classroom on the first floor where the boys learn about the Quran from the age of 7. They also saw the wash room where the men and boys clean themselves before their worship. There are lines across the carpet that show people where they needs to sit: this means that they have enough space when they are bowing and don't knock into each other. They learnt all about what happens to a Muslim child the whole way through their lives from being born to when they die. The children really enjoyed looking at lots of different types of Quran and discovered why there are different ones. They learnt that the Mosque has a system that sends out the call to prayer to everyone in the congregation - 5 times a day!
Year 5 and 6 were very excited to have their Viking workshop! The children learnt lots about how the Vikings lived, what they wore, where they came from and they also had the chance to have an up-close look at lots of different artefacts. Year 5 and 6 had fun working out what each object was and what it was used for. It was great to see the children's curiosity through the questions they asked - the facilitator was really impressed with their knowledge!
