Geography - I can make a simple aerial map of the classroom.

Today we looked at maps in our Geography lesson. We looked at maps of the Isle of Wight and Blackgang Chine and spoke about why maps are important. We then looked at aerial maps and how they are from above. We looked at a variety of aerial maps and tried to work out what the different symbols were showing  

We then pretended to be a bird in our classroom to show what it looks like from above. We used bricks and loose parts to make an aerial map of the classroom. We tried to show the tables, chairs, carpet spots and different areas in the classroom. Some children were also able to add labels to their maps.

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.
