We have been extending our learning about religious beliefs to Islam and Buddhism.
Yesterday we learnt about the Buddha and why he is a special person and teacher to Buddhists. We used artefacts and videos to help us learn. Miss Johnston was very proud at how respectful and thoughtful we were.
 |
| We looked at a statue of the Buddha and noticed what was special about him. Ollie said looking at the Buddha made him feel calm and quiet. |
 |
| We made our own Buddha statues using plasticine. We thought carefully about the position of the hands on our Buddhas, as they can be different as they mean different things. |
 |
| We made Origami Lotus flowers, a symbol of Buddhism. |
 |
| We played 'Know One, Get One' which involved us sharing facts about Buddhism for our fact files. |
 |
| We had a go at meditating, trying to be calm and peaceful, emptying our mind. This is what the Buddha taught Buddhists to do in order to achieve 'perfect peace' or 'enlightenment'. |
