This is a set of 20 SATs style questions which are all Christmas themed. Perfect for a Literacy lesson in the last week of term. Each question tackles a common misconception, such as commas or word classes.

As a class we watched the Prince of Egypt (available on Netflix) as part of our Egyptian/R.E. lessons. We then discussed the power of prayer (link to R.E.). The children examined each scene in the storyboard and wrote a short prayer underneath that the character may say at that time. Alternatively, the pictures could be used to sequence the events in the story. Image 1: Mother putting Moses in the river to save his life. Image 2: Moses seeing the treatment of the slaves. Image 3: Moses begging his brother to let the slaves go. Image 4: Family preparing a house with lambs blood over the door. Image 5: Moses just about to part the sea. Image 6: Moses looking forward to the future at the end of the movie.

This resource helps children understand the different symbols and objects of 6 different religions (buddhism, hinduism, islam, christianity, sikhism, judaism). The idea is to sort the objects into the different religions by cutting them out and creating 6 posters - one for each religion. It is a great activity for children to work together in groups or can be done independently. Children will have 6 objects from each religion and each object contains a brief, child friendly description to explain what the item is (without giving away which religion it belongs to!) A perfect activity for all of Key Stage 2 although would also be great for upper KS1 or Lower KS3 depending on the children. **ANSWERS INCLUDED ** *This would also be perfect for a comprehension activity in shared reading or literacy lessons as the children would have to read each sentence and using inference to decide where it belongs. *

Children to write a summary of what is happening in the stained glass window scene. They can then colour the stained glass window. Great English lesson on the run up to Christmas or can be used in R.E.
