YEAR 1/2 – FAITH DAY.

Today we have been learning about a very special person in Buddhism. We shared the story of how Buddhism came to be, the story of Siddhartha Gautama and the journey he went on. After sharing the story and we engaged in a true or false quiz in teams. Here are our champions!

Then we talked about what kind of person he is and used adjectives to describe him. We came up with adjectives like caring, patient, curious, content and wise. We then used our word bank turned them into sentences.

We then followed a guided meditation, just like Buddha did under the Bodhi tree. This was led by a Monk. The children practiced the most popular breathing meditations in the world.

Year 1/2 Faith Day

As part of our Faith Day, Year 1 and 2 learned about the story of Moses. We then completed a Kahoot quiz to show what we have learned. We then learned about the story of Abraham and Isaac, then we completed freeze frames for the key parts of the story.

Faith Day – Year 1/2

This afternoon we have been learning about the special people worshiped in Islam. First, we discussed Allah (glory to him) and learned about his creations. To do this we went on a gallery walk around the classroom and made a note on our whiteboards to feedback to the class. We then coloured in all of his creations.

We then introduced the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and talked about the important role he plays. We then learned more about his life and his family.
