This week in RE, the children explored the Hindu beliefs of samsara (the cycle of rebirth) and moksha (freedom from this cycle) through a fun game of Snakes and Ladders. As they played, the ladders represented good actions, positive choices and a deeper understanding of Hindu beliefs, helping players move closer to achieving moksha. The snakes represented actions that could move a person further away from this goal. The activity helped the children develop their understanding of how Hindus believe a person’s actions and understanding can influence their journey towards moksha.
In History, the children have continued their learning about the invasion of Britain by different groups of invaders. They have been exploring who these invaders were, why they came to Britain, and the impact they had on the country, helping to build a deeper understanding of how Britain has been shaped over time.
