The children enjoy using role play to re-enact some of the stories they learn about.

They also use art; for example, below is a picture of Torah Scrolls pupils made – each child wrote ‘A rule for us all’ and children paintings images of the Holi Festival.

We like to visit the church in Hawkinge to find out more about Christianity. Below is a picture of Reverend Grinsell teaching EYFS pupils about infant baptism.
