Why do you think World Religion Day is so important?
Ellis – it is important to celebrate religions all around the world
Archie – it shows people all the different religions and how they are all different but also have similarities
What did all the religions have in common?
Riley – they all worship their God
Ellis – they all stay committed
Lily – follow their rules
Charlie – they all show each other respect
They all have a place of worship
Ramadan and Eid
It is important we treat all of Allah’s creatures and animals equally
Riley – no matter how small or how big they are, God’s creatures are still God’s creatures.
Divali
This is the Hindu festival of light.
It has the hope that good will happen.
You must have light in your life to see anything and move anywhere.
Riley – they believe that there is no light without a God in your life
James – they put candles outside their doors and they have a spring clean ready for the new year and visitors. For Hindus, Divali is the new year.
Dylan – Hindus decorate their front door steps with lots of colour to show that everyone is welcome
Hanukkah
Lily – The maccabees fought against King Antiochus
Isla – every year they light a candle called the Menora and leave it burning for 8 days
Buddism
We looked at a story involving a monkey king and a human king.
Lexi – we should look after all our animals / people in our world and not doing anything to hurt them
Riley – even though the monkey king could have ordered people to protect him, he let others go before him and wasn’t selfish
Ellis – everyone is equal
Year 1 enjoyed the Assembly today and finding out about World Religion day. they enjoyed the flag and symbols activity. They named about 4 countries using the flags but needed more help with the symbols. A few children recognised them but needed help to name the religion.
Year 1 think that World religion day is important so they can learn about all the different religions and have a better understanding about the beliefs of others. We talked about the word respect and how we need to respect others and their beliefs. We also talked about the word tolerance and how we must learn to accept that everyone has different beliefs and that is okay.
We said that all the religions share things like:
– promoting the values of love and joy – Na’Taiyah
-kindness – Charlie
-sharing – Morwenna
– wanting peace in our world – Reggie
-praying – Matilda
-having a special place to worship – Daniel
We are going to be learning about Islam today and are excited to find out about this religion.
