Topic: RE:

The Story of Paul: Paul was originally Saul who hated Christians – This is the story:

Saul was an angry man who persecuted Christians. Persecute means to treat in a cruel and mean manner

Saul was on his way to Damascus to arrest any Christians that were in the synagogues. A synagogue is a building used by Jews for worship and teaching.

Then an amazing thing happened. Saul was thinking about how he could hurt the Christians as he travelled.

As he came near Damascus, a bright light suddenly shone down from heaven.

Saul fell to the ground, and a voice said, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"

Saul answered, "Who are you, Lord?"

The voice then said, "I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to fight against me. Go now into Damascus and you will be told what you must do."

When Saul got up from the ground, he was blind. Others had to lead him by the hand into the city. For three days Saul was blind and did not eat or drink anything.

God told a man named Ananias in a dream that he should go see Saul. He found Saul and laid his hands on him, and Saul was able to see again.

The preacher told him to arise and be baptized and wash away his sins.

Saul was sorry for the things he had been doing. He began doing the things that Jesus wanted him to do.

After his conversion, Saul's name was changed to Paul, and he spent the rest of his life serving Jesus and teaching people about him.

He became a missionary to people all over the world. A missionary is a person who is sent by a church to teach about Christ. Paul, the apostle, suffered many persecutions. Instead of being the person who hurt other Christians, he became persecuted himself for Christ's sake.

Topic: History – Ancient Egyptian The weighing of the heart The Weighing of the Heart was a ceremony that the Ancient Egyptians believed would happen in the afterlife. The heart would be weighed by the gods to see if it was light enough to go to the afterlife.

Weighing of the Heart

The most important ceremony was the Weighing of the Heart. This had to happen in order for a person to be able to go to the afterlife.

The person would have their heart weighed to see if it was heavy or if it was light.

If someone’s heart was heavy, they would never make it to the afterlife and they would be stuck in the Underworld forever, or they would just disappear.

If a heart was light, the person would be able to go to the Land of Two Fields which was a place full of joy and happiness.

This was a place where the people would meet their loved ones that had died before them.

Ammut

The goddess Ammut is part of the weighing of the heart.

She is one of the goddesses that is very feared because she had the head of a crocodile and would eat someone

if they did something wrong when judgement was happening.

Ammut is also part lion and part hippo. These are the three animals that were the animals that were most feared and respected by the Ancient Egyptians.

Maat

Maat was another goddess that was there during judgement. She was the goddess of law and justice.

She would also be there to make the seasons and starts to line up so that people would tell the truth.

When a person would go to get their heart weighed, it would be weighed by the Feather of Truth on a scale.

English: Read: school reading book or a comic or any favourite book at home Reading comprehension:

Year 3 A dog was feeling rather pleased with himself. He had found a succulent bone and was taking it home to bury in his garden. As he happily trotted home, he passed a deep pond. Pausing to peer into the water, he saw another dog with a bone just as delicious as his. “If I had that dog’s bone, then I would have two bones to bury in my garden,” thought the dog, greedily. He decided to pinch the other dog’s bone. However, as he opened his mouth to snatch it, the bone he was carrying fell into the pond and sank to the very bottom. Realising what had happened, he reached into the pond to retrieve his bone, but it was too deep. Feeling rather sorry for himself, the dog trudged home empty-handed.

1. Why was the dog feeling pleased with himself?

2. What decision did the dog make and why?

3. What happened to the dog’s bone?

4. Why couldn’t the dog retrieve his bone?

5. What do you think the other dog was and why do you think this?

6. Describe fully the change in the dog’s mood throughout the text:

7. What do you think the moral of the story is (the lesson it is trying to teach us)? There may be more than one:

Year 4 Cautiously, she tiptoed down the corridors of the museum. The room she was looking for was just around the corner.

Avoiding the cameras, she entered the room and approached the cabinet.

She only had five minutes until the security guard came back, so she knew she had to work fast.

However, she also knew that one false move would trigger the alarms and she would be trapped.

Trying to stop her hands from shaking, she delicately lifted the glass lid from the cabinet. So far so good! She reached in for the artefact.

“Slowly…slowly,” she whispered to herself. She lifted the artefact from its stand and examined it.

To her it just looked like a boring old rock.

Suddenly, a piercing wail filled the room and the metal shutters slammed down over all of the windows and doors…

1. Why did she know she had to work fast?

2. What would happen if she made a false move?

3. What did she think the artefact looked like?

4. Why do you think she tried to stop her hands from shaking?

5. Why do you think she was tiptoeing and avoiding cameras?

6. What do you think the phrase so far so good means?

7. What do you think is special about the artefact?

8. How do you think the alarm was triggered?

9. Why do you think she whispered the words: ‘slowly…slowly’ to herself?

Topic: PShe Everyone is equal

We are all unique and different – different coloured skin, eyes, hair, personalities, likes/dislikes. BUT – no one is better than another – we must celebrate our differences and remember that everyone is EQUAL.

Eg. We set off in the car filled with excitement. It was a surprise journey and mum wouldn’t tell us where we were going. All we knew was that we had been told to wear our best clothes. “Mum please tell us! “ we shouted from the back seats. “We’re going to burst with excitement!” I called.

Topic: ART – In class we would have been studying some of the art of Claude Monet.

This is Claude Monet's Water Lily Pond. He was a keen gardener and he created this pond in his garden in Giverny, France. He painted over twenty pictures of this scene and some of them are vast wall-size paintings. Water lilies are one of the most famous themes by this impressionist artist. He was fascinated by light dancing on the water and the reflections cast in the water...willows, reeds, clouds... things that move and change constantly. For Monet, the reflection was the subject of the painting – he tried to capture a fleeting moment, an impression, working outdoors, ‘en plein air’, a new idea in art. What colours dominate? How does the picture make you feel? How would you describe this picture? What season? How do you know?

What wildlife would you expect to see if you visited this pond?

Which colours did he use? [yellows, pinks, lavenders, greens, blues, and silver-white NB. He didn’t use black – he felt it had a dulling effect.

Activity: Create your own Water Lily art work – if you’ve any crayons, coloured pencils or felt tips try to use the colours Monet used. Email me your creations: jr@st-marys-sabden.lancs.sch.uk
