The Year 4 Rosalind Franklin Class retold the story of Moses on Mount Sinai (The Ten Commandments) to understand why the Torah is treasured and respected by Jewish people. These words are special.

Y3LP have learnt about stories from the Gita – especially those about Ganesha. We then created our own Ganesha masks ready to act out the story.

We know that Buddhists’ special book is the Tripitaka. We learned the story of Siddhartha and the swan and could retell it with our peers.

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.
