Hello everyone,

We hope that you are all keeping well and staying safe at home. Here is your home learning for the Easter holidays. We have set two RE mini projects – one for Holy Week and one for Other Faiths. Rather than setting a wide range of tasks and topics, we have decided on an RE home learning focus for each year group…

Please remember to continue with:

• 20-30 mins Daily reading
• Times tables/number facts
• Sumdog and My Maths learning

Enjoy!

 

Friday 3rd April – Religious education

As part of your RE learning and preparation for Easter, we would like you to focus upon Holy Week – this is when Christians reflect on the final week of Jesus’s life. ​Can you complete ONE of the following activities, to develop your knowledge of this special time in the Liturgical Year?

• Create a PowerPoint that includes information about each station of the cross.
• Write prayer booklet, to thank Jesus for His sacrifice and offer prayers of strength and support to those who are suffering.
• Record the thoughts and feelings of Mary in a journal – how would she have felt at this time? Why?
• Make a stained glass window about ONE of the stations of the cross that means the most to you.
• Host a worship session with members of your household. Can you choose a special image or bible passage to use as part of your reflection on the events of Holy Week?
• Write the words ‘Holy Week’ in large bubble writing and include any relevant religious symbols, signs and Holy colours to decorate it with.
• Look up the stations of the cross online and read the Bible story. Can you use drama or role play to re-enact each scene and remember what happened?

 

Friday 10th April – Religious education

This week, as part of your RE learning, we would like you to focus upon Judaism. ​Can you complete ONE of the following activities, to develop your knowledge of this faith further?

• A painting of all of the religious symbols found within this faith? Label what each one is called/used for.
• An information poster including 10 key facts about the religion.
• Write a diary entry for a follower of this faith – what would their day look like and how would they pray?
• Build a place of worship for your chosen faith (i.e. a Jewish synagogue).
• ​Create a piece of music that could be used for prayer by the followers of this religion.
• If you could make a set of rules or commandments for this faith, what would they be?
• Create a set of top trump, ‘snap’ or ‘pairs’ cards about this faith, to play with your family members.

 

Additional Year 4 Easter holiday Art tasks – Mrs Pearson

Create a drawing or painting of either Palm Sunday or Good Friday in the style of Vincent Van Gogh, as he is one of the artists we have studied this year. For example, think of one of his famous paintings, such as Starry, Starry night, and use this as inspiration for your own picture.

Fancy something different?

Make a stained glass window about ONE of the stations of the cross that means the most to you.

OR

Create your own Easter Garden, include a simple cross, cave/tomb, add flowers and/or seeds that will grow over Easter.
