Today we had a virtual visit from a Buddhist leader, who talked to us about Buddhism. We heard about Buddha, the enlightened teacher and spiritual leader. We learnt about the things that Buddhist people try to do to help them to live good lives and compared this with the things we do to live well.

Buddhist people:

• Look after nature
• Don’t steal
• Don’t eat too much
• Only put healthy things into their bodies
• Use good words
• Tell the truth
• Feel happy through ‘giving’

We learnt that Buddhist people follow the wise lessons of Buddha, the enlightened teacher and spiritual leader.

We listened to a Buddhist story that tells how Siddhārtha Gautama became Buddha. Then we worked in groups to sequence pictures from the story and made our own story boards.
