Literacy
Imagine that you are on a school trip to the ‘Valley of the Kings’. You break away from the group and find an excavation site. The tomb has not been opened. You will be the first to enter… Describe what you can see, hear, smell and touch as you enter the tomb. Where will you go? Will you be able to get out?
Religious Education
Look carefully at the picture of The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci:
The Last Supper
Who is present? What do you think is happening? What conversations might be taking place? Do you think this is a special occasion? Why?
Now think about what your own family do at dinner time. Do you sit around a table or somewhere else? What do you talk about? How is your dinner time similar and different to one shown in the picture?
Once you have answered these questions, draw a picture of what the Last Supper might look like today.
Science
When outside, try to find lots of different rocks. When you have done this, record your observations by including the following information about each rock that you find:
- Name
- Colour
- Texture
- Grains
- The durability of the rock (does it crumble easily).
This classification key may help you to identify the rocks more easily.
Passport to the World
Create a fact file about Denmark. You may wish to include the following information:
- The national flag
- Where it is located in the world
- Capital city
- Any traditions pertinent to the country.
