Multi Faith Week
Every year, the children of St Peter's 'dig deeper' into other faiths from around the world; the children have had the opportunity to explore, discuss and visit different places of worship. It is a great opportunity for pupils to explore inter- faith issues and for our school to build relationships with faith groups in our wider community.
Previously, each class has learnt about a different world faith: Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Judaism and we have welcomed expert visitors into our class to take part in food tasting, reflection, art and worship.
In 2021, Multi Faith week focused on Hinduism. During the week, we thought it was important for all the children to look at different aspects of the religion in-depth and share their learning. Below is an example of what each class will focused on:
Reception - Hindusim at a glance / Rama and Sita.
Year 1 - Hinduism at a glance / Symbols and Meanings
Year 2 - Hinduism at a glance / Hindu Worship
Year 3 - Hinduism at a glance / Hindu deities
Year 4 - Hinduism at a glance / Importance of Pilgrimage
Year 5 - Hinduism at a glance / Hinduism and Christianity (similarities and differences)
Year 6 - Hinduism at a glance / Injustices the faith has faced
The week concluded with the opening of our Multi Faith Garden which the children devised alongside our school artist, Gillian Parish.
