There are thousands of gods and goddesses whom Hindus may worship, all with their own special individual characteristics, which allow followers to choose their own deities. Many believe all these gods and goddesses are different aspects of the unchanging ultimate supreme Brahman.
Individually, or in groups, the students will create a poster which can come together to show as many of the Hindu god and goddesses as possible – possibly about 30 depending in the size of your class (!). A brief description and image of the gods Ganesh, Shiva, Durga, Lakshmi and Vishnu are included.

This unit of work helps students to explore the Amazon Rainforest from the definition of what a rainforest is through to how we and others utilise it. The booklet begins by looking at the world’s biomes, their characteristics and where they are found. The difference between these and ecosystems is investigated, alongside the ecosystem diamond.
