Year 1 began a learning unit about textiles by exploring different types of textile, sorting them and then creating simple collages. A one point it looked like a rummage sale but you can’t learn without exploring! #textiles #fabric #art #collage

Today we had a very special Faith Day across the school either exploring Sikhism or Islam. It was wonderful to explore faith, culture and try to understand the various world views and faith from different perspectives.  #faith #unity #learn #understand
