Happy Wesak from the Nursery!

At Wesak, we think of the Buddha
Who sat under the Bodhi tree
He taught everyone to be kind and good
And to live very happily!

We watched a video clip about a little girl and her family who were preparing for, and celebrating Wesak - and then we had a lovely story about the Elephant and a dog! 

 

It was fun making a hand-print elephant on the front of our cards - we concentrated really hard to create a repeating colour pattern around the edge.


We worked together to create a mandala - Buddhists use these for meditation and in their art.


It was a bit tricky trying to paint the pasta to create our friendship bracelets to give to someone who we think is very kind - but they looked great when they were finished!


Happy Wesak everyone!
