This week in Year 1 we have been making Mala beads. As part of RE this week we have been looking at Buddhism, each child has made their own set of Mala beads and we have focused on how placing two fingers on each bead and taking a breath can help us to be calm and peaceful like Buddhists are during their meditations!

This week we have also continued to learn about where we live. We have been making our very own leaflet about Weymouth, focusing on physical and man made features of the landscape. In these leaflets we have focused on the terms – coast, harbour, town, beach etc. As a class we created a list of things that we love to do in Weymouth and have included some of these too.

A great week – well done Year 1!
