Fishergate pupils visit York Mosque
As part of our R.E. lesson Year 5/6 paid a visit to York Mosque on Wednesday 18th November. We were enthusiastically and warmly greeted by the Imam, Abid Salik, who spent around an hour talking to our children. Although the trip was fundamentally to learn about the teachings of Islam and the way York Mosque serves the local community, the Imam was open to all the children’s questions. He answered with humour and sensitivity. He then went on to talk about the terrible situation in Paris, how the perpetrators ‘do not represent Islam’. We then held a minute’s silence, which felt even more poignant within the Mosque.
I am sure all the children came home full of wonderful stories about their morning spent at the York Mosque! We were made to feel very welcome and it is well worth a visit.

Remembrance Day 2015 Y3/4 Visit to York Cemetery
Our Y3/4 children were invited to the cemetery on Remembrance Day to lay special poppy crosses on the war graves. We had a very peaceful afternoon, with some real reflection, thinking about the people who had given their lives in battles since the First World War.
The children also observed a two minute silence at the War memorial at the cemetery and two children were chosen to lay a special poppy wreath in memory of the fallen soldiers. We feel very privileged to have been asked again to take place in this very important day by York Cemetery.
