For our faith day learning, we were first introduced to Hinduism where we learned about the origins of the religion. We recalled our Geographical skills to identify which countries have large populations of this global faith, then completed some reading activities to firm our understanding. We then continued by looking at how Hindu people worship in and out of their homes, comparing the differences.
Later, we were introduced to Buddhism and completed a fact file on what we had learnt about the religion as well as their manners of worship in temples.
Well done all!
Due to the rain this morning Sport’s Day will not be happening. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. The children will still do their races in the school hall but we won’t be able to have adults in.
Many thanks

Today, we did some mindful meditation and talked about how it made us feel. Lots of children used the words ‘calm, happy, tired, sad, dancey’.
We then watched a video about BUDDHISM. The children talked about The Buddha and how he was enlightened and realised that there was so much suffering in the world but we needed to learn to be happy with what we have got. Buddhists use meditation to help them focus on these things. They celebrate the Buddha on Vesak day. Similar to some of the celebrations we have, they give cards. They also have lanterns to keep the dark away.
We made some lanterns to help us remember about Vesak.
