Homework for the Easter holidays:
As the next 2 weeks are technically the Easter holidays, we have changed the expectations around home learning during this period. 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
- your daily reading
- your times tables/number facts
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 (e.g. temple, Gurdwara, Mosque)
- 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.
Enjoy a peaceful and restful Easter,
The Year 5 Team
