Lesson 5- https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/what-are-the-jewish-festivals

How about trying an art competition this week?

The National Association of Teachers of RE are running their annual Spirited Arts Competition. Normally children can only enter through their school and entries are restricted. This year, due to COVID 19 they are allowing any child to enter the competition direct. Children are asked to produce a piece of art around one of five themes with a piece of writing of up to 400 words to accompany it. The themes are as follows;

 

Picturing faith

God’s Good Earth?

Inspiring

Holy Words

Where is God

 

Full details of the competition can be found in the link below.

Lesson 3 – Healthy eating

What does healthy eating mean to you? Are some foods more healthier than others?

A healthy, balanced diet supports physical development, improves mood and keeps bugs at bay. Foods rich in vitamins and nutrients, like fruit, vegetables and whole grains, give children the fuel they need to develop both physically and mentally. Healthy eating also boosts our immune systems.

 

Art – fruit art

Let’s have some fun!! To link with our Science topic on healthy eating can you make some art from fruit??

Have a look at these pictures for inspiration. We’d love to see your creations on Dojo! 🙂
