Our assemblies, special occasions and celebrations in our school ife.

During Interfaith week, the children in Elm class have really enjoyed learning about different faiths and celebrating differences. We have explored ‘Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Humanism and Atheism’. The children had the opportunity to ask questions about different faiths to a panel of experts from the Oldham Interfaith forum. It was engaging for the children as they were able to listen to personal experiences. St Hilda’s school also held a ‘Interfaith café’ in each class, where they enjoyed a lovely cup of juice and biscuits, while discussing a range of beliefs surrounding different faiths. In addition, we also had an ‘Interfaith marketplace trail/quiz’ which Elm class found fascinating because they had the opportunity to discover different artefacts from the different faiths, along with quiz questions. It has also been a positive experience for the children to learn about one another and uphold the values of our school -trust, knowledge, community, compassion, aspiration and respect. Diversity makes our world more interesting!

What a wonderful start to ‘Interfaith Week’! Maple class led our collective worship assembly today and they did a remarkable job! They demonstrated many similarities and differences amongst different faiths and cultures and shared a very important message; be kind and show respect to all!
