West End In Schools Workshop
Today Year 1 had a very special guest in to school. West End In Schools delivered an exciting work shop all about the book called ‘Trolls’. After warming our bodies up we read the story and acted out the different scenes. Finally we put the actions to music to retell the whole story through dance. We highly enjoyed this workshop!

Bhaktivedanta Manor…
Today we visited a Place of Worship. We went to the Hindu Temple, Bhaktivedanta Manor.
Here we got to visit the shrine, where people come to pray and worship the Hindu Gods. We listened to some percussion instruments and the song ‘Hare Krishna’.
We then went on to learn about the story of Rama and Sita, an important story in the Hindu faith. Whilst learning the story, we role played and dressed up as the important figures in the story. Then, everyone got to try on traditional clothing such as saris and turbans.
To end our wonderful visit, we learnt about how and why cows are sacred to the Hindu faith and we even got to feed them!
Here are some pictures from our visit to the Mandir…

We discussed how it made us feel knowing other people were proud of us.

We generated questions we wanted to ask Egg Box Dragon. For example, how did you find the purse? When did you realise you had a gift? This lesson, we used these questions within role play. We were in groups pairs: 1 news reporter and 1 Egg Box Dragon. The new reporter asked Egg Box Dragon the questions to which Egg Box Dragon replied with what they thought was the correct answer. We the performed to the class.
