PE

Space: The area around a person that does not have anything else in it.

Warm up: Put on some music and get warm! We warm up because it raises our heart rate, warms up our muscles so that it is easier to move and stops us from hurting ourselves. 

Play some (sad) music and allow your child to have creative control and do their own dance to the music. What did the music made you feel like?

Try to create your own dance and use all of the space around you (e.g. across the room, high and low).

RE

Which place of worship is sacred for Muslims?

Have you been to a mosque?

Virtual Mosque visit

Research and label this mosque using the following words:

Prayer mat, Qubba (dome structure), Mihrab (recess to indicate the direction of Mecca), washroom, Crescent moon and star, a Qur'an (holy book) and Imam.

• Muslims go to mosque to pray and services are held every day. The most important weekly service is held on a Friday.
• Many Muslims believe that praying with other Muslims can make you feel part of a family.
• Inside a mosque, there is often a school where people can learn the Arabic language. This is the language that the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an, is written in.
• Festivals, weddings and funerals can take place in mosques too.

Showing respect:

• Wash feet, hands, nose, mouth, throat, ears, arms (up to elbow) before entering. 
• Take off your shoes before entering
• Women and men worship separately

PE
Travelling: Using your feet and body to move across a space.

Warm up: do this to some music and explain the importance of this to the children! We warm up because it raises our heart rate, warms up our muscles so that it is easier to move and stops us from hurting ourselves. 

Play some (upbeat/ happy) music and create your own dance. What does this song make you feel? Can you use your feet and body to move across a space in your home? Be careful!

RE
Which place of worship is sacred for Jewish people?

Have you been to a synagogue? Research synagogues. What do they look like?

Virtual Synagogue visit

• People go to the synagogue to worship but also to study. Many synagogues are also community centres where local Jewish people can meet and take part in different activities and events..
• A synagogue is a house of prayer where Jewish people can get together to feel closer to God, and each other.  
• The services are led by a rabbi or a worshipper. 

Showing respect: 

• During the service everyone, except women who aren’t married, must wear a hat to show respect to God; this is called a kippah.
• Adult men wear a prayer shawl for morning prayer which has fringes along the edge to remind the worshipper to follow God’s way.
• Men and women sit separately in the synagogue.
• Once the Ark is open, nobody must enter or leave the room as a sign of respect.

Research and label this synagogue using the following words:

Bimah, Siddur, Ark, Torah Scrolls, Eternal light, Memorial Boards.

Yesterday, I received a letter… 

Please can you write a letter back to the troll to let him know if it was you who was trip trapping over his bridge? If it wasn’t, could you tell him who you think it might be and why?

RE

Where do you feel safe? Draw a picture of your safe place and write a sentence about what you have drawn and why it is special to you.

Why might one person’s safe place be different to someone else? 

Because these places are safe, they are also special. Can you think of any spaces that are special to other people? (school, library, gym, hospital etc.)

Do you recognise these places? Why might they be important to people?

These are all places of worship and are more than special for a group of children and adults called believers. These places would be called sacred or holy.
