Sunday 5th July marked the 72nd anniversary of the NHS. The National Health Service provides free health care to everyone in the UK. Just for a moment, think about how wonderful that is. If you had been ill on 4th July 1948, the day before the NHS came into being, then you would have had to pay to see a doctor. If you didn’t have any money, then you would not have been able to go to a doctor. Complete this reading comprehension about the NHS. There are three different levels. Either work your way up through the levels or choose a level and remember to challenge yourself. Click here.

The final religion we will look at in detail is Buddhism. Buddhism is different to all the other religions we have studied so far because Buddhists don’t worship a God or a creator. Instead, Buddhists follow the teaching of one man: The Buddha or the Enlightened one. Watch this video to give you an introduction to this religion click here. Read more about the beginnings of Buddhism here and then mark with the answers here.
IPC
The teachings of the Buddha include a description of four ideal states of mind that Buddhists should aim for. These are also known as the four immeasurables. One of these is loving-kindness. It involves wanting others to be well and happy. Loving-kindness should be an ideal for everyone, not just Buddhists. Do this sheet to help you work out how you can achieve this ideal state.
