LO: to compare and contrast practices that  are important to a Muslim person with my own life

This week, Mrs Hands has planned an RE task for you. Read the RE information below before having a go at the RE task.

LO: to understand duration and tempo

This week, Mrs Hands has planned a music lesson for you. Open the document below to complete this lesson.

Topic

Geography

LO: to locate Iraq and its neighbouring countries

LO: to use digital/computer mapping to locate countries

Baghdad was thought to be the capital of the Islamic world during the Golden Age of Islam. Baghdad is located in the country Iraq, which is in Asia. Open the blank map of Asia below. Then visit https://www.google.com/maps and search for 'Asia'. Can you use this digital map to label as many countries you can on the blank map of Asia?

LO: to name and order the planets in the solar system

LO: to name some of the features of the planets

Watch the video at the following link and complete the activities:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zdrrd2p/articles/ztsqj6f

Then, you are going to create your own poster about the solar system.

Challenge 1: Open the poster - name and colour the planets, giving some extra information about each planet.

Challenge 2: Open the document below. Cut out the planets and arrange them in the correct order on your own poster. Make sure that you name, colour and give extra information about each planet.

Challenge 3: Design your own poster! You need to include accurate drawings and names of the planets, in the correct order, alongside information about each planet.

LO: to know how it feels to have hopes and dreams

This week, Mrs Hands has planned a PSHE lesson for you. Open the document below to complete this lesson.

This week, you're going to be creating a glossary so that you can begin to understand more vocabulary related to our Golden Age of Islam topic. Open the Topic Glossary below, and fill in a definition for each word.

You could:

- Use a dictionary

- On Google, type in 'Define: and then the word you want to search'. E.g. 'Define: civilisation'

- Go onto a dictionary website, e.g. Oxford English Dictionary or dictionary.com

LO: to explain why we know the Sun, Earth and Moon are spherical.

LO: To identify scientific evidence which does or does not provide evidence for an idea.

A long time ago, people used to think that the Earth was flat, but now scientists understand that the world is spherical in shape, like a football. You are going to look at the evidence for and against each of these points today.

Science task one: Open the document below, and sort the evidence cards into two groups - one that supports the idea that the Earth is flat, and the other that supports the idea that the Earth is spherical.

Science task two: Complete the sheet about scientific evidence and ideas. You can choose whether to do Challenge 1 (the page with one star), Challenge 2 (two stars) or Challenge 3 (three starts)

Today you are going to create a piece of artwork based on a song. The piece of music that you are going to listen to is by a composer called Hans Zimmer. You probably already know some of his music - he wrote scores for films such as 'Madagascar', 'The Lion King' and 'Kung Fu Panda'. 

1. Listen to the song, called 'Earth', at the following link: http://teach.files.bbci.co.uk/tenpieces/Zimmer1.mp3

2. Next, get a piece of paper and draw a big circle in the middle of your page. This is the Earth.

3. Listen to the song again. Draw what you think the music is describing on the Earth (e.g. people, vehicles, buildings, cities, etc) and around the Earth (e.g. space, stars, other planets). You might want to add some colour!

If you are interested in learning more about Hans Zimmer, you can following this link for more information: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/ten-pieces/classical-music-ks2-hans-zimmer-earth/zvg4vk7

Complete the lesson at the following link: https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/how-did-the-religion-of-islam-begin-74vk2r

LO: to talk about different forms of Islamic art and create my own geometric pattern

Look through the information on Islamic art, and the examples of Islamic art. Next, either choose one of the Islamic art sheets to colour in, or design your very own geometric pattern. Think carefully about which shapes you're going to use, and how to join and colour these shapes.

LO: to understand that sometimes hopes and dreams do not come true and that this can hurt
