Upper 3 had a fascinating opportunity to explore two different places of worship, deepening their understanding of both Christianity and Islam. Their visit began at Norwich Cathedral, where they examined key features of a Christian church, such as the font, the pulpit, and the altar. Pupils also reflected on the significance of the cross in Christian belief and worship. After their time in the cathedral, they visited the East Anglian Bangladeshi Mosque on Rose Lane. During their hour-long visit, they engaged in a talk and question session with Hussein, learning about Islamic practices and beliefs. They were also able to try out different prayer positions and gained insight into the significance of the Kaaba during the pilgrimage of Hajj. Following their visit to the mosque, pupils returned to the cathedral for follow-up activities and a period of reflection. They discussed the similarities and differences between the two places of worship, considering how faith is expressed in different traditions. This enriching experience gave pupils a valuable opportunity to explore interfaith connections, ask thoughtful questions, and develop a deeper appreciation for religious diversity. Coco said, ‘I learned that Muslims pray five times a day, and I loved practising the prayer positions.’ Neil said ‘In the cathedral I learned that the bishop’s throne is called the cathedra. It is a raised chair which the bishop sits on when he is being enthroned.’ Felix commented ‘Both buildings were very fun, and I immensely enjoyed the trip. I hope that I can do it again.’  Evie reported ‘I enjoyed looking at the stained-glass windows and lying down on the floor to look at the detailed roof bosses in the Cathedral.’

Lower Three delivered a fantastic and unique exploration of the English language through their performances of A Midsummer Night’s Dream , Macbeth , and Romeo and Juliet . The magical Midsummer brought laughter with a modern spin on the mischievous fairies and tangled love stories . Macbeth captivated with its dark tale of ambition and fate. Romeo and Juliet moved the audience with its timeless story of love and tragedy. Each play showcased the pupils' talent, confidence, and passion for Shakespeare! Well done to all who took part!
