Year 1 have been learning about Buddhism in class. Role-play helped us understand the story and its message.
Here Louie takes the part of Prince Siddhartha who lived in a beautiful palace and had everything his heart desired..
His servant took him outside the Palace one day and Siddhartha saw an old man.
The next time he went out he saw a sick man.
On the third occasion he left the Palace he saw a dead man. He had never seen anyone look like this before, but his servant told him that this happens to everyone eventually.
He saw a Monk who looked content and he realised that the more he wanted the sadder he became.
Siddhartha thought about his life and the monk and he knew that everything in nature changes.
He had learned important lessons, he had become wise. People called him the 'Buddha'.
