Year 6 Visit Peterborough Mosque

Following their visit to the cathedral, Year 6 travelled to Peterborough Mosque. Here, they received a warm welcome and were given the opportunity to learn about the Islamic faith, the purpose of the mosque and the importance of prayer in the lives of Muslims. Pupils listened attentively as they learned about Islamic beliefs and traditions.

Experiencing both a cathedral and a mosque in the same day enabled the children to compare similarities and differences between Christianity and Islam, bringing their Religious Education learning to life. A huge thank you to the staff and volunteers at both Peterborough Cathedral and Peterborough Mosque for providing such informative and memorable experiences for our Year 6 pupils.

Year 6 Visit Peterborough Cathedral

Year 6 recently enjoyed a fascinating educational visit to Peterborough Cathedral, where they took part in a range of engaging workshops and activities designed to bring history, culture and religion to life.

The day began with a guided tour of the magnificent cathedral, during which pupils learned about its rich history spanning almost 900 years. As part of their visit, the children participated in a series of interactive workshops. These sessions gave them the opportunity to explore the history of the cathedral in greater depth, learn about the lives of monks who once lived and worked there.

Pupils also had the chance to examine historical artefacts, take part in discussion activities and develop their understanding of key historical events linked to the cathedral. The workshops encouraged curiosity, critical thinking and teamwork, allowing the children to apply their classroom learning in a real-life setting.
