The children enjoyed this week’s Hindu story of the 6 blind men and the elephant. The message of the story was that the truth can be seen in different ways because all of the blind men thought that the elephant looked differently. They had a go at the quiz and even took turns to wear a blindfold and guess what the object was that they were holding. Another fantastic discussion was had about truth and integrity. Well done class 8!
Today in our RE lesson we looked at places of worship and compared them with our school. We found out that there are lots of similarities in the two and thought about some of the activities we do in school.
Great job superstars!
Last week, Year 3 continued their RE learning around the Jewish religion and its stories about God’s promises. We learned about the story of Moses, from his escape as a baby in a Moses basket on the River Nile to his victory in leading his people out of slavery and through the Red Sea itself. To consolidate their learning, children reenacted scenes from the story and created story maps to retell the tale. Why not ask your child to retell you the story and see how much they can recall? Can they remember the ten plagues that God sent to Egypt to help Moses in persuading the pharaoh to release his slaves?
This week in RE, we looked at building background information on the different forms of the Hindu god. We learned about Ganesha, Lakshmi and Vishnu to name just a few. We also managed to get in some active learning by moving around the classroom to collect the information!
This week, we have developed our knowledge of Hindu Gods by taking part in some active research. The children independently researched the Gods using the fact files around the room and collated information about 4 of their chosen Gods.
Class 7 continued their RE learning with more Hindu stories. This week it was 4 friends where we learned that we can all use our talents to help others and be kind!
We have been listening to Hindu stories in RE and the children have been doing freeze frames to retell the story. Then they made masks of the main characters and acted out the key points of the story.
In RE, Year 3 are learning all about the stories of the Jewish faith and we are thinking particularly about how they help Jews to remember God’s promises to them.
So far, we have looked at the story of Noah’s ark, and – just last week – we found out about the story of Abraham and his wife Sarah who moved away from all of their friends and family to a new place because they trusted so much in God’s instruction to them.
I wonder which Jewish story we’ll be enjoying this week?
Today, Class 7 have been looking at stories with meanings. We looked into the Hindu story of Ganesha goes to a party! We liked how it taught us that kindness is better than boasting and we even acted out the story!
This week in our RE lesson we explored two key ceremonies in Judaism: Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah. Below you will find links to the two videos we watched. Challenge your children to tell you all about them.
