P5/6 – Buddhism

We’ve been learning about Buddhism with Mrs Petrie.  Yesterday we designed our own Buddhist temples in co-operative groups.  We had to work together and use our imaginations and knowledge to come up with a variety of designs.  Our temple had had to include information on the 8 fold path, Buddha’s eyes and prayer flags.  We’ve learned that there are hundreds of small golden buddha’s in every temple and we also learned about the story of the Buddha.  We continue to learn about the Rights of the Child.  Every child has the right to choose your own religion and beliefs.  Your parents should help you decide what is right and wrong, and what is best for you. – Article 14.
