Well done to Year 8!!!

To all Year 8s who have handed in their Gurdwara Projects so far:

Well Done!!!

All of the RE department have been so impressed by the level of detail, skill, effort and resourcefulness you have all shown in producing your temples.

The entrants so far have been exhibited to the sixth form, and some potential winners are being lined up for various prizes. This will have to wait until after half term, however, as one class will not hand in their models until then.

Take a look at some of the standard of work so far on this link below...... It really is impressive!

Year 8 Project: Build a Model Gurdwara

Hello Year 8s,

Just a reminder that your next homework assignment is a project to build your own Gurdwara, or Sikh Temple.

Happy building!

Year 7 Homework lesson 3: Create a Coat of Arms

Just a reminder of the requirements of the task:

Building on the work we did in class on how unique we are, and our words that describe us on the 'inside' your homework task was to create your own coat of arms.

This needs to fill a whole page in your book, and must include colour and images. You could also include a phrase in the banner if you like!

The images you choose are up to you, but must reflect how you wish to describe yourself.

I have included a link which includes a bit of background about the coat of arms, and a tool that will help you design your own one!

Year 7 Homework: RE title page

Just a quick reminder Year 7s that the homework set in your first lesson is to create a title page for the new topic RE: What is it all about?

This is essentially a mini poster in your books and can include images and words you have drawn or have printed off.

Most importantly, make it beautifully colourfully eyecatching!

Have fun being artistic!
