Dictation - Editing

 In Year 1 we have a dictation session every day. Each day we look at our sentence and unpick the words, spelling and punctuation. Then on Friday we have a go at writing our sentence. Today was our ‘editing’ day and we looked at the sentence written three ways and had to work out the mistake in each. The children were brilliant at spotting the spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes!

RE Festival Focus- Vesak

  Vesak is the Buddhist festival that celebrates the birth, enlightment and death of Buddha. Wesak is a very colourful and happy celebration. Homes may be cleaned and decorated. In many countries, Buddhists will visit their local temple for services and teaching. They will give offerings to the monks of food, candles and flowers. Chanting and praying are an important part of Wesak. Today we made 3d lilies as this is an important symbol for Buddhists. When the man we now know as Buddha was born he was thought to walk 7 steps straight away and lilies grew under his feet, this was thought to be a sign that he was special and meant to lead his people.
