A lesson plan offering a carousel of activities focusing on “Bible Races" - a selection of physical activities which help children to think about their faith and their relationship with God.
Each year we introduce a different country/culture to the children, during a week called Panorama Week: a focus on widening global understanding.
This powerpoint focuses on the country of China, and the Chinese culture.
This powerpoint uses a range of photographs found on the internet.
When I taught this lesson, I shared the images, talked about the range of animals which can be found in Australia and then laid out three long sheets of lining paper. Each child was given a thick paintbrush and a pot of paint (white, black, brown, orange, green, red and yellow).
The children walked around each sheet, making long snake-like patterns, surrounded by dots. Once the sheets had dried, they were used as backing paper for a display about Aboriginal Art.
I also gave the children a small canvas board. They planned their image and then painted an Australian animal - surrounded by concentric lines of differing colours.
This powerpoint was written for a school worship focusing on Ascension Day. I have also uploaded an accompanying Bible Reading which you may find useful.
The service is based on the idea that Ascension Day is the opposite of Christmas Day:
Christmas Day - Jesus came down from Heaven
Ascension Day - Jesus went up to Heaven
These sheets focus on places in Christianity, primarily the story of the Three Magi (Wise Men) who travelled a long way to reach the birthplace of Jesus.
This is an Excel spreadsheet which enables you to produce your own times table practice worksheets.
Change the tables at the top of each column to increase/decrease the difficulty.
This range of activities focus on Comics, comic characters and a range of English / Literacy learning, including creative writing, biographies, newspaper writing, converting metric to imperial measurements, etc.
An excellent, fun week for the start of a school year or term.
