When the coronavirus pandemic quarantine period began in Spring/Summer 2020, I realised that lots of people were going to find themselves at home with their children for several weeks/months looking for things to do. So I decided to post a draw-along video every Tuesday and Thursday that parents could watch with their kids and, hopefully, make some nice pictures. They have proved very popular, garnering millions of views across the world. On 21 May 2020 we broke the Guinness World Record for the largest online art lesson when 45,611 households drew a whale with me. From September 2020 lockdown gradually began to ease and kids started going back to school, so I decided to move the #DrawWithRob video slot to Saturdays at 10am BST/GMT so that kids can join in with my Saturday Art Club. And then in August 2021 as life returned to (something like) normal, the videos began to be released slightly more sporadically. But I'm still going! Keep an eye on my social feeds or sign up to my newsletter here to find out when the next video will be released.

Here are all of the videos (scroll down the page). Feel free to watch and share them with anybody and everybody. I'd love to see the results, so please send me your pictures on social media using the hashtag #DrawWithRob. I am @RobBiddulph on Twitter, @rbiddulph on Instagram and robbiddulphauthor on Facebook.
Oh, and please subscribe to my YouTube channel too.

I'm delighted to say that DRAW WITH ROB is now an incredible activity book series (every page features perforated edges so you can easily tear out and display your art). The first book is a Sunday Times number one bestseller, the winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award 2020 and was shortlisted for Children's Illustrated/Non-fiction Book of The Year at the British Book Awards 2021. The second book, Draw With Rob at Christmas, is also a bestseller and was the WHSmith Book of the Month for November 2020. The third book, Draw With Rob: Build A Story, the fourth book, Draw With Rob: Monster Madness, the fifth book, Draw With Rob: Amazing Animals, and the sixth book, Draw With Rob at Halloween, are (guess what) bestsellers too! They are all available to order here.

Read the story about Paul, think about the ways that he changed.

– he was an enemy, but became a friend
– he was cruel, but learned kindness
– he was uncaring, but understood his actions affected others
– he didn’t consider the views of others, but grew in understanding
– he learned respect for God and others.

Saul’s change of name reflected his change of character. Christians describe such a change as a ‘conversion’.

Today, many people across the globe continue to face hatred and violence because of their beliefs. The story of Saul challenges aggression shown towards the customs, faiths and traditions of others.

Prayer
The world peace prayer

Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace.
Let peace fill our heart,
our world, our universe.

Today we are continuing our learning about similes and metaphors. You can refresh your memory with the song from yesterday.

Metaphors do not use the words as or like, they say one thing is another e.g.

Miss Farnell is a star
Miss Rowley cried a river of tears.

In this second example, tears aren't really a river, but it is saying she was crying so much it seemed like a river.

Please watch the video on this website to help you understand metaphors some more. You can also complete the activities on there to secure your learning.
