Junior Infants are learning about different places of worship in the last few weeks during our Learn Together time.
First, we discussed how different people have different opinions and beliefs and that that is o.k. We respect that everyone is different but we are entitled to our beliefs.
For example we looked at a picture of a cloud and we all saw something different in the shapes the cloud made. We saw a dragon, a dog, a cave, a rainbow and many more things in the shape of the cloud.
Some of us talked about places that are special to us. We named the swimming pool, a book cupboard, the park, the zoo and many more. Then we discussed the special places of worship that different people go to such as the Sikh Gurdwara, the Christian Church and the Jewish Synagogue. We examined pictures of each and looked for similarities and differences.
We also discussed that some people called Atheists do not believe in a god or have a special place of worship. We met Darwin the dog who loves science and respects all his friends who do visit a place of worship.
Finally, we all got into groups and designed our own places of worship or other buildings with 3d blocks. Have a look at pictures from Ross' class as they work on their buildings.
