As part of our Japan topic, P3/4/5 were split into groups and spent the afternoon in the hall working collaboratively to create, rehearse and perform their own Japanese music in the style of the Mugenkyo drummers. Earlier in the day during RME, we were learning about Buddhism and the story of the Buddha. Many years ago, the Buddhists developed a form of meditation so we tried some for ourselves! The pupils were asked to see and feel their bodies becoming the colours of the rainbow. Very relaxing!
The Focus Group for our Rights Respecting lead our assembly today. They spoke about sustainable food systems as yesterday was World Food Day. This helped to highlight everyone’s right to a good standard of living (UNCRC Article 27) and some countries who do not.
