Mulberry ran an assembly on World Religion Day as set by the RE subject lead. All classes had been set work and given resources to support the teaching of this and asked to bring examples of the work completed to assembly. Mulberry asked questions and gave answers using symbol sheets handed out amongst pupils. They also invited pupils to observe different symbols of faiths and to come up to the tables and explore them further. We sang a Christian hymn to finish the assembly and said the school prayer.
