Children at Portishead Primary School have been learning about life in India this term.

Pupils have researched different aspects of life in India and have been working on various projects across the curriculum. 

Both classes in Year 3 have adopted a tiger from the World Wildlife Fund WWF and are enjoying keeping in touch with their progress.  

On Monday they welcomed a visitor, Mr Daz, who came along to school to hold a workshop of a mock Hindu wedding.  

Everyone took part in some way and it was an enriching experience for the children. 

Class teacher Liz Essex said: " The children really enjoyed bringing this aspect of India to life through the workshop."

    I hope this project continues to be a great success. Sharing the experiences of different cultures is so enriching for the local community.

    Well done kids and teachers alike! A positive example for us all.
