In Year 6, we had a short talk about Hinduism. On 13 November 2012, Avni told us a little bit about the main points of the religion. Now we know that the word 'Hindu' comes from the River Indus. The main values of Hinduism are Karma, Moksha and Dharma. 

This year, the main Hindu festivals, Diwali (equivalent of Christmas) and New Year were celebrated on 13 and 14 November. We also saw some photos of Hindu Gods and heard about their stories. We found it very interesting and we learnt a lot. 

On 21st November, students in years 3 and 4 joined students for other schools in Torrelavega on a visit to the Concha Espina Theatre to see the film 'Arthur Christmas. Operation presents'. Later that week, on 23rd November, year 5 and 6 students went to see the film 'Superbrother'.

On both trips, we learnt about issues around children's rights and values within education.




On 27 November 2012, years 5 and 6 had the opportunity to wear a traditional Indian costume called a sari. We were shown how to put it on but it is quite complicated. Here is a photo of Sandra wearing a sari from India.
