Please find below an example timetable for you to use at home. I will edit it each week with the activities that I have set for the children. I would like to point out that this is not prescriptive it is an example, you know your children, you know what is best for your children if you feel they need to do things a different way around then do it your way :-) In school on a real day if I can see that the children need to have a break then that is what we do. We want you to enjoy this time with your children too!

RE- Who are the founders of Christianity, Islam and Buddhism?
In this weeks RE lesson I would like you to identify the founders of Christianity, Islam and Buddhism using the powerpoint below.
Activity: For your activity I would like you to create a depiction of a faith founder as a stained glass window, this can be in the form of a picture or a model to reflect a faith founder. Some examples of how to create a stained glass window can be found below. Muslims don't believe that Muhammed should be generated as a person so they have chosen to decorate their art work with patterns where as Christians and Buddhists believe that their faith founders had an image that was then shown in their stained glass windows. You can choose which one you would like to reflect.
