Writing

This week has been unlike any other week we have ever known. In the future children like you will be studying this time as part of their education in History. I would like you to write a diary for this week. Imagine someone will be using your writing as evidence of how children lived and learned during this time.  Imagine they are going to be put into a time capsule and buried for the next 30 or so years. 

How do you feel about not going to school? What is it like to be learning at home? What have you and your family been doing? You are not allowed out to play, how does this make you feel? Are you listening to the news? How are you using technology to stay in touch with your friends? Have you put a rainbow in your window? Why? Did you join in with the clapping last night? Why? Are you staying in your pyjamas all day! What have you done this week that you really enjoyed and couldn't have done at school? 

These are just a few ideas, I'm sure you can add some of your own. I look forward to reding your diaries.

We are going to explore the Islamic culture and faith. Find this week's key enquiry questions below:

When and where in the world did the Islamic faith begin?

Where did it begin and how does this compare to other faiths? (Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, ect).

a) Write a paragragh about where the faith began.

b) Draw a timeline of when these faiths originated.

What are the core beliefs of the Islamic faith?
