YOUNGSTERS at a Bromsgrove school have been learning more about religions around the world.

Pupils at Millfields First School, in Swift Close, took part in faith week which studied and celebrated the beliefs of the various religions.

The whole school took part in the week, with pupils learning about Hinduism, Buddhism, as well as Christianity and Islam.

Children explored the beliefs and practices of these religions then presented their findings at an assembly held at the end of the week.

Baptist minister Paul Lewis dropped in on the school to discuss with key stage two youngsters the importance of prayer in the Christian religion.

The pupils then visited the Islamic Exhibition Centre, in Birmingham, learning more about how Muslims show their faith in their daily lives.

Paul Gibbs, Millfields’ headteacher, said: “Pupils have enjoyed learning about a variety of religions and how they are the same and how they are different.

“We believe it is important that we give the pupils the opportunity to be reflective about beliefs and values to enable them to develop as thoughtful, responsible individuals.”
