British Values

Y3LP have explored the religion of Buddhism and have learnt about the teachings of the Buddha. We discussed the symbolism of the Three Baskets and then created our own class version thinking about rules we have to follow, knowledge from school we can share and knowledge from outside of school that we are experts in.

This week we learnt about the Tripitaka and a special story called Siddartha and the Swan.

We know that The Torah is a special scroll in the Jewish faith. We learned The Creation Story and worked in groups to retell the creation on each day.

We know The Bible is the Christian Holy book. We learned the story of Noah’s Ark and could retell it successfully.

We have thought about the questions ‘Why are some words special?’
We learnt about how Muslims show respect for their holy book – the Qur’an. We learnt about how Muslims treat the book and all the steps they follow when reading from their holy text. We then designed a poster to explain these steps to younger children.

We know the Jewish Creation Story.

Our class text this half term is – funny ones. We worked hard to memories the opening.

Y3LP have recapped our knowledge of the Jewish religion. We have learnt that the Torah is the Jewish holy book and we have explored two stories from this text. We listened to the stories of Jonah and Samuel and considered how these tales teach Jews about the big questions. We thought about what lessons Jewish people could learn from these stories and then linked the events to our own lives.
