3RT meanings of our names

05 Feb 2014

Having learnt about symbols and meanings in R.E this term, the children of 3RT were set a task to research the meaning of their names.  The responses were fantastic and children presented their findings through power points, pictures, family documents and a beautiful book produced at home.  We got to hear about lots, including first names, middle names, family names and their origin as well as their meaning or reasons for choice. 

Here are some pictures and a couple of short videos from the presentations.
