Today we are going to take another look at the virtual tour of ‘The Natural History Museum’. This museum is famous for its dinosaur collection. Whilst exploring think about these questions: Where is the museum? How do you get there? What dinosaurs can you spot? How is the museum laid out? What is there to help you learn? What do you like about it?

Explore the museum and it’s website: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit/virtual-museum.html Then on purple mash type up some notes about the museum and its’ display. You could use bullet points or write sentences. This will help you to think about ideas for your own dinosaur museum later this week.

Religious Education

Year One

Can you remember what we learnt about last week? We are thinking about Shabbat again – can you

remember why this day is important to Jewish people?

As part of the Shabbat celebrations a special blessing is said it is called Shabbat Aleichem and it goes

like this:-

May God bless you and guard you. May the light of God shine upon you, and may God be gracious to

you. May the presence of God be with you and give you peace.

These words are meant to help people feel special - if you could write a message to someone else to

make them feel special, what would you write? Now go to Purple Mash and complete the work set

for you in the 2do list – write some special words to someone else to make them feel loved and

cared for.

Watch the following clip to help you remember Shabbat:-

This week we are going to be thinking about how important words are for Muslim people. For

Muslims their most important book is called the Qu’ran . Watch the following clips to find out about

this special book:-

https://youtu.be/nw6mibx-cec

There are 99 names that describe what Allah is like and all Muslims are called to try and remember

them all. We are going to look at the first ten, so don’t worry I won’t ask you to remember all of

them!! Watch the following clip and then see if you can complete the work on purple mash:-

https://youtu.be/gMdHYCeXWjc

Now can you write some words that describe what is important to you and how you should live.
