RE home learning for Thursday 19th November

We are continuing to think about the Christmas story and the different people who visited Jesus.

Last week we considered the Magi (3 wise men) and the Shepherds.

The Magi were rich and the Shepherds were just ordinary people but they all wanted to share in the good news of Jesus' birth and bring gifts.

Task

Can you think of any modern day people who share good news and bring gifts. An example of this is Greta Thunberg who brings news of climate change and actively tries to persuade politicians to change. Also Mother Terasa who was very poor but offered good news through helping others.

Design a poster which describes your person and how they bring good news. Include a drawing of them!

Hello again Year 5 Leopards. Here is another batch of home learning for Friday:

Have a good half term holiday. See you soon.

Hi everyone. I hope you are safe and well at home. Can I take this chance to say how much I have enjoyed teaching the Leopards this half term - they are an amazing group who have really excelled so far. Mrs. Ralph and I are both looking forward to a fantastic rest of the year with our class.

RE and Computing for Thursday 22nd October

RE

We are going to consider how the bible might help with ethical issues. 

Climate change is of great importance currently as our planet warms up. We know that cars and power stations create lots of gases which are making the situation worse.

What would the Bible say about pollution?

How would the Bible recommend we change?

Task - Make a poster

Write these 2 questions in the middle of a piece of paper and answer with some pictures, words and short sentences. Keep your work and bring it in after half term for our scrap book.

Hint- The bible might say, we should share our things with each other more so we need to produce less stuff!

Computing

Log into Purple Mash

Open your saved game and continue to work on this.

Use the spider catcher game and your saved work to help you.

Save what you have done and don't worry, we will make some time next half term to finish off.

Have a great half term, keep safe and I hope you enjoy some family time.

Mr Evans
