At Burnside we believe that understanding the diverse tapestry of our world is key to raising compassionate, global citizens. We are thrilled to announce that from March 23rd - 27th, our students will be participating in an immersive celebration of Faith and Worldviews Week!

 

Education is about more than just textbooks; it’s about lived experiences. To bring our curriculum to life, we’ve curated a bespoke week of guest speakers and regional trips that align perfectly with what our students are currently studying in the classroom.

 

What’s Happening?

 

We have a packed itinerary designed to spark curiosity and foster respect:

 

• Early Years: Exploring the traditions and stories of Easter.

• Year 1: A special visit from our local Methodist Minister to discuss the Christian faith.

• Year 2: Engaging, hands-on Islamic Diversity Workshops right here in school.

• Year 3: An exciting trip to the Newcastle Central Mosque.

• Year 4: A local visit to the historic St. Nicholas Church in Cramlington.

• Year 5: A journey to the United Reform Synagogue in Newcastle (April 1st).

• Year 6: Deep-diving into ethics and philosophy with Humanist guest speakers.

 

 A Community Connection

 

To wrap up the week’s themes, we are honoured to welcome the Methodist Minister for a special assembly on Thursday, focusing on the significance of Easter.

 

We are so proud to offer our pupils the chance to engage directly with representatives from different faith and belief communities. It’s these moments that build understanding, empathy, and a lifelong love for learning.

 

Stay tuned! We’ll be sharing photos of our adventures and workshops throughout the week.
