Making Torah Scrolls and finding out about the Qu'ran


What can we learn about other faiths from their stories and books?

Year 1 watched a small clip of a Rabbi reading the Torah Scroll in a synagogue.  They thought it was very special and saw the Torah Scroll being taken from it's cover and opened carefully.  They made their own Torah Scrolls using dowelling and paper, we had some fantastic rules on how to live our lives.  After this the children listened to the story of David and Jonathan then made their own special covers for their Torahs.




Year 2 began their lesson looking at pictures of the Qu'ran.  They thought about how the pictures show the importance of the Qu'ran and how special it is.  They then watched an animation on the prophet Muhammad and how he was given the Qu'ran.  We found out that Muslims decorate key words using Arabic patterns.  The children thought of words that are special to them, explained why they are special and then decorated them.
