The pupils at St Peter’s have been immersed in multi-cultural learning through our annual Diversity Week. Children of different ages throughout the school have done deep learning on Judaism, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism. During the week the children produced a variety of artwork, linked to these faiths.
Reception SIKHISM
Sikhs believe in one God who guides and protects them. They believe everyone is equal before God. Sikhs believe that your actions are important and you should lead a good life. They believe the way to do this is:
Keep God in your heart and mind at all times
Live honestly and work hard
Treat everyone equally
Be generous to those less fortunate than you
Serve others
The children focused on the ‘KALGI’, which is a turban jewel that used to be sign of Royalty. Nowadays a KALGI is worn at wedding and other special occasions.
Year 1 – ISLAM
Prayer mats are important in Muslim prayer as they keep the worshiper comfy and clean and can show you where Mecca is if it has a compass.
The children learnt that Muslims take off their shoes before worshipping and respectfully re-enacted a call to prayer
Year 2 HINDUISM
Year 3 JUDAISM
Year 4 – Islam
