In Year 6, our starter activity for learning about the life of a Buddhist monk was to write/draw all the things that make you happy. Some pupils wrote poems which can be read below.
I love football, cause it completes me.
I love my friends and parents, who encourage me.
My close friend always brings me glee though we don’t support the same football team.
But with all this – it makes me!
By Laila
I love football
Football loves me
I believe I will make it
But does anyone believe in me?
I believe my dad loves me
And believes in me.
By Da’Mayor
I am worth it but I am not perfect.
I make mistakes but I will always love and pray.
My God will always protect me even if I’m unseen.
God will always help me even when I’m not keen.
I’m Hindu and I’m proud to be me!

Family means safe
Family means peace
Family means they love you unconditionally
That is what you call
A good family
Family don’t harm you
Family doesn’t force you to do anything
Family doesn’t make you feel unsafe
That’s a bad family
Family makes time for you
Family cares for you
Family will do anything for you
A family is a full heart not a broken oneBy Ria
