Year 5 – Sikh Wedding Celebration!

14th May 2026lhockings

This week Year 5 have been looking at Sikhism in R.E. 

We decided to have our very own Sikh wedding, which the children planned and delivered themselves. 

Each team had a project, we had: invitations, menus, decorations, looking after the bride and groom’s families, costumes and the ceremony committee. Every group had a specific job and worked amazingly well as a team to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch!

To celebrate, we had a party afterwards and celebrated the wedding in true Sikh fashion, with lots of music, dancing and laughter.

Last week we had a visit from Reverend Ian from St John’s church.  He talked about when you get a gift and how you have to look after it. People believe we are a gift from God. It is also believed that light is a gift from God and that it is good. He then discussed light, such as the sun and the moon. How the sun affects seasons and how the moon affects the sea. After that Reverend Ian said that we shine a light and we need to shine our light on others. He asked the children how we could brighten up someone’s day? Some suggestions were play with your friends, share, give someone a hug, make someone laugh and be kind to everyone.  Finally, he shared a prayer about our school.

In year 4 we have been learning about ‘Why Christians believe that Jesus is the light of The World’. The children acted out the story of ‘The Blind Man’ and created stained glass windows showing ‘light’ as symbolism.
