This week has been our Interfaith Week in school. Team AC have started to learn about Judaism and have compared it to Christianity looking at what is the same and different between the two faiths. We learnt what a synagogue was and found out what some of the things within the synagogue are called, what they are for and why they are special to Jewish people. 
Throughout school we had a 'wear it red' day on Tuesday to celebrate Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year. We looked some of the activities and celebrations that might take place and read the story of how the Chinese calendar became named after particular animals. The children had fun retelling the story with puppets and masks they made. They also tried some different foods and had a go at picking things up with chopsticks - not so easy!

We found out that in Chinese culture dragons symbolise great power, good luck and strength so for our DT work we started to design a moving Chinese dragon. We thought about the materials, equipment and techniques we would use.
Watch this space for our finished models coming soon!
