Year 3 Faith Tour and 'British Values'

A special experience for our pupils visiting a Mosque, Gurdwara and a Church

Ensuring that our children have a good awareness and respect for other cultures and faiths is a major aim for us as it is for all schools. It is also a critical part of our efforts to deliver the aims of the Government ‘British Values’ guidance.

Year 3 have been exploring a range of religious beliefs as part of their R.E. curriculum. In order to support and enhance their learning, they have been on a visit to Queen’s Park in Bedford, where the children participated in a ‘Faith Tour’.

Each tour was led by a member of that faith community. The children spent time at All Saint’s Parish Church, Jamia Masjid Gulshane Bagdhad Mosque and Guru Nanak Gurdwara.

 

 

 

Throughout the day, the children were enthusing about the various tours they had and how much they had learned about the different faiths. We would like to congratulate the children for their behaviour which was a credit to the school and for the searching and thoughtful questions they asked during the day. I would like to say a very big thank you to Miss Hill and Miss Hamilton for all their hard work organising an event that has so successfully supported children’s learning and understanding.
