Now over to Mrs Fitz for the rest of the week…
Stilling Time – Praying Hands
Watch and join in with the following tutorial of how to draw praying hands:
As you draw…
Noticing the feeling of the pencil or pen against the paper.
Observing your feelings about what you are creating.
Shifting your attention to any other senses – perhaps the sound of the pencil/pen against the paper; how your body feels in the position you are sitting in, etc.
Allowing yourself to feel pride in what you’ve achieved.
Once your drawing is finished, say a 5 Finger Prayer (we’ve done this before but I’ve added a picture below as a reminder of what you pray for with each digit).
RE (this will be the focus of our live lesson at 1pm)
LI – to consider the question ‘who was Jesus?’
To begin with…
Jesus helped people to understand who he was by stating ‘I am….. the light, the bread, the good shepherd, the vine’ and others including the gate. (John 10:9)
How can Jesus be a gate? Think about the ways in which a gate could be described. Do any of these characteristics remind you of Jesus?
Listen and watch…
In this popular Christian song Jesus is described as waymaker, miracle worker, promise keeper, and light in
the darkness. As you listen and watch, write down 5 or more names that could be added to that list in your home learning book. Be creative, think about all the stories of Jesus you know, what he did and what Christians believe about him.
Big questions…
We have been thinking a lot about who Jesus was. This might have been (or might be) different depending on who you ask. In your home learning book, finish these sentences:
I think a person who was healed by Jesus would say Jesus ……………………..
I think Zacchaeus would say Jesus………………………………
I think a disciple would say Jesus…………………………………
I think Mary would say Jesus………………………………………
I think a Christian would say Jesus……………………………..
I would say Jesus ……………………..
Challenge…
Design on paper or computer a gateway. Instead of filling in the gate with solid colour use words written in different colours. Fill the gate, posts, pathway etc. with all your ideas about the names given to Jesus by others or from your imagination. Please remember to share your work with me.
Well done for another great day’s learning! See you all tomorrow for our live lesson at 9am. Mrs Fitz 🙂
