As part of our transition work with Nelson Mandela Primary School, Year 6 spent a fantastic day learning about their school and local community. In the morning, we visited their local mosque, where the children learned about its features and the importance of Islam. Whilst there, we enjoyed tasting traditional snacks, including samosas and pakoras.

It was a real joy to learn about and discuss life in such a multicultural school community, giving the children valuable insight into different cultures and traditions.

In the afternoon, the children worked together to create colourful Eid decorations. It was wonderful to see pupils from both schools collaborating, sharing ideas and making new friendships. The children represented Astley exceptionally well throughout the visit and were a credit to the school.
