In RE we looked at how we can represent Genesis 1 in the Bible through art. We focused on the Christian and artist Hannah Dunnet by creating a piece of art which used Bible scriptures in the art piece.

We started by clarifying conflicting and complementary. We watched a clip to begin to understand what the 'Big Bang Theory' was. We started to look at how some people believe the world and everything in it was created by God, how some may believe it is science related and everything started from a small dot that expanded in less than a second and how come believe that both science and religion have played their part.

The class then began to research different scientists, who have different worldviews and started to learn about the science aspects that lead their lives.

In today's lesson we looked at how different Christians can interpret Genesis 1 and have differing views in relation to religion and scientific theories.

We then looked at a line of continuum, putting statements where we feel they best fit, giving some reasoning.

Today we brought together all of our learning and considered the question, 'Is Science and Genesis conflicting or complementary?'

Children used our learning slides from the topic to help bring their arguments together. We then discussed this as a class, sharing our ideas and views.

We started by reviewing our learning about the celebrations Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah, which was covered in Year 4.

We were shocked to learn that only 0.5% of the UK's population follow Judaism. We then looked at our more local areas to find out the percentages of people who were Jewish.

Year 5 have been learning more about Judaism and their traditions, including a traditional Jewish home and what might be found there, we also compared this to our own homes. We created our own dreidel and learnt a little about Hannukah, which is an important Jewish festival.

Today we explored the question above by finding the answers to a range of questions.

We had a research session for each type of synagogue before creating a class mindmap. We then went on to work in partnership to make direct comparisons and highlight the similarities and differences between orthodox and progressive synagogues.

We concluded that the UK has different types of synagogues to cater for the needs of all Jewish people.

Can you see the separate seating for men and women?

Today's question: What words do pupils connect to the idea of ‘God’? What words do Christians connect to their idea of God?

We had a lovely time learning about the Easter story, which included lots of elements that we have previously learnt in Year 4.
