As part of Anti Bullying Week, on Tuesday 12th November we will be celebrating Odd Socks Day. This is to show it’s okay to be different to and to raise the awareness of bullying! So dig out your favourite pairs as we can’t wait to see your odd socks!
Today was another of our fabulous faith days and this time we have enjoyed learning all about Hinduism. To start, we tackled a short reading task to learn more about the concept of dharma and how different religions direct the way their followers live. Then we found out about the Hindu story of King Yudhisthira and his dog, which taught us about the importance of loyalty and of compassion to all living creatures. We worked collaboratively in groups to create comic strip posters of the story which helped to consolidate our learning … why not ask us to tell you the story at home to see how well we can remember it?
This morning, we have enjoyed our weekly crew singing session with the added challenge of learning the song in sign language too! The children did an amazing job and I was blown away by their beautiful voices … even if the song was apparently “really really really old” 🙂
Over the last few weeks before half term the children have been painting poppies to decorate the school fences. They used collage work to decorate poppies to take home. Lovely work from everyone!
Today, Class 7 have learned about Hinduism during our second faith day of the year. We watched some traditional stories, learned about the long history of Hinduism and then created our own Rangoli patterns We loved it!
Class 8 have learnt a lot about Hinduism today. They read the story Rama and Sita and then looked at rangoli patterns. Most Hindu households have rangoli patterns at the entrance to their home as they are thought to bring good luck and prosperity to their families. Some children used paints, others used pegs and boards, whilst others coloured in rangoli patterns. Well done class 8 for some great listening and learning today. I will be checking on Monday that you have remembered anything about the religion Hinduism?
have a lovely weekend x
Crew Knowles really enjoyed learning about Hinduism as part of our faith day today. We looked at some of the definitions of key vocabulary related to Hinduism such as karma, dharma and reincarnation. We then researched some of the different Hindu gods and goddesses which was really interesting!
Today has been full of colour and music in Nursery.
The children have celebrated Diwali by listening to the story Chapatti Moon, colouring Rangoli Patterns, making Diva lamps and dancing with scarves and bangles to Indian music. Such a wonderful day.
The children have loved playing in the leaves in the nursery garden this week. They have been jumping in piles of leaves, making pictures and hedgehog houses.
This morning in G Block crew Ambler have been using their sketching skills to produce some beautiful poppies. Great work everyone!
