This term our RE topic has been weddings and what a
coincidence Dougie Dog and Rainbow fish had decided to get married!
As I’m sure you know the Clown fish think very highly of
Dougie dog so we decided we would throw him the “best wedding ever.”
We started off the week looking at photographs of weddings
of people we know. We discussed the common features of a Christian wedding, eg.
white dresses, flowers, rings and cake. Mrs Hoey brought in her wedding dress for us to look at.Christian said, "It looks so soft, I want to sleep in it."
Throughout the week we made invitations to the weddings,
congratulation cards, outfits, rings and lots of flowers.
When it came to the big day we made sure we looked smart
then went into the Rainbow fish classroom to take our place on the groom’s side
of the aisle.
The Bride and groom picked their best men and bridesmaids,
Miss Spacey took her place as the Vicar, then the ceremony began.
After the ceremony the bride threw the bouquet (Great catch
Amelia!) then it was time for the reception where we danced the afternoon away!
Afterwards we looked at a video of a Hindu wedding. We had a
look at traditional Hindu wedding clothes and tried them on.
We thought very carefully about the similarities and
differences between Christian weddings and Hindu weddings. Here are some of our
ideas.
Similarities
"They both had dresses."Gabi
"They had flowers." Jack
Differences
"The Bride was carried in a basket." Hayden
"She had gold and purple on her dress, not a white one." Kayleigh
It has been a very busy week but we have had lots of fun! Congratulations Dougie and Rainbow
fish!
