Thematic Curriculum:

This week during our afternoon lessons, we looked at the Buddhist festival Vesak (Buddha’s birthday) and had a visit from a Buddhist monk who spoke to the children about what Buddhism is all about. The children were able to handle artefacts that are used during meditation and other Buddhist practices.

Next term we will have a look at rivers and the water cycle.
