RE Lesson

LO: To know some of the actions that take place at a celebration of marriage.

Answer these questions.

What does it mean to make a promise?

What are some of the promises you have made?

What has made them difficult or easy to keep?

Read the marriage vows that the bride and groom make.  

What do you think the vows mean? 

LO: To develop ideas from a variety of starting points including the natural world or man-made objects.

Look in detail at the food landscapes created by artist Carl Warner and describe the way he uses different food types, including fresh fruit, vegetables and meat.

Choose one picture and write a list of ingredients in that landscape.

Create your own food landscape by cutting out images of food items or by using photos of your own food.  You might even use some real food - like pasta or cereal to help. 

Share your pictures with me please, I can’t wait to see them!

Science Lesson

LO: To identify healthy and unhealthy food, and say how much of them I should eat. 

Sort foods into those we should eat lots of, foods we should eat sometimes and foods we should eat a little of.  Then, you will need to plan a healthy menu – breakfast, lunch and dinner.

RE Lesson

LO: To know that a wedding ring is a symbol of marriage.

Write a prayer for married people and decorate it with the symbol of marriage, a wedding ring. 

Follow the instructions to make an enormous bowl of messy jelly!

Remember to wash your hands before you start!

Use a range of different-coloured jelly cubes and measure carefully to make the jelly. 

Cut, tear and mix the jelly cubes, take care when you add the hot water - ask a grown up to do it.

Look carefully at the changes that occur as the jelly dissolves and sets, and look at what happens when different colours are mixed.  Record what you see in pictures.

Test for taste and invite others to enjoy a bowl of rainbow jelly.  Can you taste the different flavours?

Please share your pictures with me, I want to see how your messy jelly turns out!
