Siddartha and the Swan

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

Q1 Judaism

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.

Q1 Christianity

RE, Year 1

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

In RE we created posters to inform younger children how to take care of the Qur’an.

RE, Year 3

This week Y2 Attenborough have been freeze framing sections of the story of David and Goliath. We worked together to retell this important story from The Torah; we shared our messages and feelings around this story with the class.

Question 1- Christianity

RE, Year 2

Y2 Attenborough have been retelling the story of Noah’s Ark with their friends. We know that Noah had to show his trust for god for 40days and 40 nights. We also shared what other messages we thought were highlighted in this classic story.

Q1 – Islam

RE, Year 3

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.

The Creation Story

RE, Year 1

We know the Jewish Creation Story.

Funny bones

RE, Year 1

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

Why are some words special? Judaism

RE, Year 3

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.

School Council Elections

British Values, PSHE, Year 3

Y3LP learnt about the British Value of democracy by discussing how elections take place. We used this knowledge to carry out our own elections – for our very first class school councillors. The children spoke confidentially, sharing their reasons for wanting to be a school councillor and then we carried out our vote.

Noah’s Ark

RE, Year 3

Y3LP have been considering the question ‘Why are some words special?’ for the Christian religion. We listened carefully to the tale of Noah’s Ark and then worked with our partners to retell the story. We thought about the message given and understand that this story was teaching Christian’s to always follow the word of God.
