Y 5 and 6 Summer 21 Commitment 

Y 5 and 6 will be thinking about 'commitment' in their final World Views and Religion Topic. 

To think about this further, you could do some of these activities.

1. Discuss with your family a 'new' commitment and ask an adult to help you monitor it. Maybe keep a record of your progress.

2. Write an acrostic poem using the words COMMITMENT to try to explain or give examples of what commitment actually means and how people show it.

3. Make a PowerPoint Presentation on Commitment and cover people that are committed to something worthwhile. (Make a great job and we can use it in an assembly).

Year 3 and 4 are learning about Islam in the summer term 21

They are going to meet Imran Kotwal and he will explain the five pillars of Islam. 

Here are some tasks that you could do at home to help you understand the topic deeper:

1. Create a leaflet to advertise Imran from the Muslim Learning Centre. 

2. Design a Muslim Prayer Mat (make sure that you research Muslim patterns and find out more about symbols and calligraphy).

3. Prepare and record a Muslim Islam Radio Show (what will you tell your listeners about?)

Remember to share with us at school.

Enjoy! 

Y3 and 4 are learning all about Pilgrimage in the Spring Term 2021.

Why not try to do some of these activities:

1. Design a Postcard for popular places of Pilgrimage e.g. Jerusalem. Think carefully about the 'photo/ image' that might fit on the postcard. You could then imagine that you are writing to friends or family back home and tell them how you are feeling now that you have reached your destination. 

2. Pretend that you are a pilgrim and keep a diary of your thoughts and feelings as you prepare and then embark on your pilgrimage/ special journey. 

Y5/6 in the Spring Term 21 are Learning about WORSHIP.

Why not do some of these activities:

1. Create a piece of art that shows all the things that have 'worth' to you personally.

2. Make up your own prayer that focuses on anything that is important to you e.g. caring for nature, tolerance to others or feeling grateful, etc. Illustrate your prayer. 

3. Listen to some religious music from religions that you know about - record what the pieces are called and how they make you feel. 

4. Ask for permission to research religious art and try to find out why it was created and who the artist was. 

5. Ask for permission to watch some Liturgical dance ( scared dance in Christianity). How does it make you feel? Consider why people wish to choreograph and perform it. 

5. Make a poster about the importance of religious freedom or find out about a person that has fought for religious freedom or been denied it.
