This week in RE, year 1 learnt about and compared different wedding traditions. They looked into Christian, Muslim and Humanist celebrations.

In Christian weddings, the children discovered that couples exchange rings and make promises to each other and God.

At a Humanist wedding, people celebrate with their friends and family and light a unity candle which represents the joining of two families.

A Muslim wedding is often bright and colourful and can last up to three days. The night before the wedding, a brides hands are decorated with henna to wish her good luck and good health.
