We are learning to show an understanding of the beliefs of world religions by creating posters giving information about the five pillars of Islam.
SC:
I can… use the Internet to carry out research
I can…. have a bold title
I can…. have interesting facts
I can…. create an eye catching picture
I can…. work well as part of a group
The children worked in groups, each group was given one of the pillars of Islam to research using the Internet. They had to use their art skills to draw an eye catching pillar. On their pillar they had to have a bold title to make it clear which pillar they had researched and include interesting facts. Their health and well being target was to work well as a group to make sure all of their success criteria were met. Each group had to present their pillar to the class.
Today we had our first Celebration Assembly to celebrate all our achievements during Term 3.
