In March we will host a visit from 20 Nepalese children who are performing with our choir in the Monkey Boy concert. Mr Wilson talked about Nepal, his work to help build a museum in Nepal and also some things that the Nepalese children will have never seen when they visit, such as the sea.
On Tuesday 12th February, children in Years 1 to 6 visited the new York Mosque as part of our RE work on Islam.
