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.
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.
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.
