Buddhism, the Tripitaka and the three baskets
Year 3 Jemison have learned this week that the Buddhists scriptures are known as the Tripitaka which means ‘three baskets’ This is because the original writing were wrote on palm leaves and stored in baskets. Today the children wrote their own scriptures following the ways of the Buddha and added them to our baskets.
Why are some words special? Buddhism.
We discussed the Tripitaka and why this is such an important text for Buddhists. We learnt this means ‘three baskets’ as this is how the original Tripitaka was stored. We then listened to a story from ‘The Way of the Buddha: Jakata Tales’. We created a story board to show the main events and then discussed the moral of the story: ‘Smart thinking is required at all times’.
Why are some words special? Islam.
We discussed the Qur’an and why this is a special book for Muslims. We then listened to the stories ‘The Prophet and the Ants’ and ‘The Crying Camel’. We discussed the key messages from these stories and then acted the stories out. We asked our peers to guess which story we were acting and out and encouraged them to explain how they knew.
The Quran
We know that Muslims have a special book called The Quran. Mrs Kamrun answered all the questions we had about this special book and her faith.
The Hindu story of Ganesh
Year 3 Obama enjoyed practising and acting out the Hindu story of Ganesh.
Why are these words special?
We revisited the parable of the soil before learning and quizzing each other about the Torah scroll, its importance to Judaism and why it is treated in an important and respectful way.
Why are some words special? Judaism
We listened to the story of The Life of Moses. We discussed why it is an important story for Jewish people. We then sequenced the main events from the story and used actions to help us retell the story.
