Linking Project

We have been taking part in a brilliant project called a Linking Project. Our Year 4 class are linked with a Year 4 class at St Alban's School in Pelaw. It is all about learning what our identity is. In the first session we met our new friends for the first time at Shipley Art Gallery and thought about our own identities through many activities.

During the second meeting at Brighton Avenue, we learned about Hinduism through role play and the story of Rama and Sita, making the Taj Mahal and Bollywood dancing. We looked after our partners for the whole day. We had a fantastic time.

During the third meeting we visited St Alban's School. On this occasion we learned about Judaism. Mr Glickman told us about a Synagogue, we acted out the story of Hannacat, sketched Jewish artefacts, tasted Jewish food, made a Havdala candle and Mezuzah.

We have learned a lot and would like to keep in touch with our new friends.
