Hello 7CH

This week we have consolidated our learning about Hinduism. Here is the lesson we did in class.
Your homework is to storyboard the story of Rama and Sita - one of the stories behind the Hindu celebration of Diwali.
A story board is like a cartoon strip with a little explanation at the bottom.
Skilled story boards should include;
6-8 points to the story.
Detailed drawings.
Some key names from the stories.
Excellent story boards should include:
Detailed drawings with colour.
Points are made with increasing detail to show full understanding of the story.
The final caption should give full detail of the celebration of Diwali.

This is due next Tuesday 22nd November

Thinking and Tigers!









Hello Y7


You've had another excellent week and you are really settling in to your group. You worked very well and I'm very impressed with you.


This week we looked at lateral thinking techniques - all thinking in the same way at the same time. We did this using Edward De Bono's thinking hats. I most enjoyed your Green Hat thinking, Creative Thinking. You should have spent some time thinking about how you're thinking! Think about what 'hat' you think in a lot.


Homework
Find out 3 detailed facts about Hinduism.This should include: Description, 
Explanation, and Evaluation.
Here is a link to a useful website for this information.

Skilled Homework will

Excellent Homework will

You need this homework as we'll be using it in the lesson.
