It has been a very snowy and cold week for 8P, but we have kept warm by getting involved in lots of activities. 

A visit by a P.C.S.O. from our local Police force was extremely interesting. This was arranged as part of the ‘My Community’ curriculum - Employer encounters. 
We were encouraged to try on the Police uniform, ask questions and then finally we were able to sit in the Police car, where a few of us asked to hear the siren, and watched the lights flashing on top of the car. 

Today, we learnt all about Buddhism, as part of World Religion week.

We watched a video all about Buddhism, before spending a little bit of time meditating, just like the Monks do in the Temple. 
A few of us tried on a toga which is what the Monks wear , and we also spent time making Lotus flowers as part of our crafts. 
A shrine was placed on a table, using a statue of a Buddha, candles and some water as an offering.

It has been a very busy and interesting week for staff and pupils of 8P.
