The children also worked hard to sequence the story, demonstrating their understanding of the events and key messages about friendship and following Jesus.

In Reception they looked at pictures of places of worship- outside and inside and talked about who belongs there. The children then took part in a shared experience as a class by making bread together and sharing it amongst our friends, just like they would in a Sikh Langar, Holy Communion or Shabbat/Pesach.
