Y6<br />
Year 6 have been studying Hinduism and focused on aspects of their beliefs,<br />
such as: karma, dharma, moksha and their understanding that their souls experience<br />
a cycle of life, death and reincarnation as another being. We had lots<br />
of fun creating our very own board game, “Snakes and ladders - Hindu version”,<br />
which required the players to go through the <strong>10</strong>0-square grid, allowing<br />
for their dharma to be fulfilled, which ultimately allowed them to achieve moksha<br />
once the number <strong>10</strong>0 was surpassed. There were some fantastic designs<br />
and ideas for aspects of Hinduism that could replace the traditional snakes and<br />
ladders.<br />
In English, we have begun to write our eerie stories by creating a powerful,<br />
descriptive introduction. We have attempted to use figurative language such<br />
as pathetic fallacy and personification, as well as powerful vocabulary to really<br />
entice a reader into the story.<br />
In maths, we are finishing off our unit relating to decimals and fractions. The<br />
class have been doing an amazing job with this difficult concept.<br />
Super work year 6!
