Science Task Week 5

We are coming to the end of this science unit now, I have seen some fantastic work and know that many of you have enjoyed the topic.

This week your task is to persuade someone of your own age to swap their current unhealthy lifestyle for a healthy one.

Remember all those persuasive devices we used when we wrote to Trafford Council in an attempt to persuade them to plant more trees:.

       Surely you must agree …..

       Can you imagine …..

       How would you feel if …..

You could produce a letter, a report, a power point presentation, a leaflet using publisher or any other vehicle you wish to get your point over that choosing a healthy lifestyle is the right choice.

The presentation below helps to summarise what you have learned so far.

RE Task Week 5   

We have been learning about the Christian concept of trinity and in particular the Holy Spirit.

This week we are going to learn about another world faith.  Muslims are currently observing Ramadan, a time of special prayer and fasting.

Watch this clip. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02mwdxf

Make a simple fact sheet to explain what happens during Ramadan.  Remember, many Muslims do not think it is right to draw or paint images of people, so consider carefully how to illustrate your text.

For a deeper challenge to your thinking, can you write about why Muslims fast and observe Ramadan?  Why is so important?  What might be difficult?  What might be the “rewards”?

To take this even further, can you think of other religious groups who follow a period of fasting, or “difficult” observances?  Can you say what you think about this choice, and describe how it relates to your own beliefs?
