Year 7 RE at STM

Homework is due on Friday 17 October.

This week, 7BK2 will begin work in connection with Black History Month. We will be learning about the Kick Racism Out of Football campaign. (The weeks of action are 16 – 28 October.)

Your homework? To write a poem inspired by your learning in class. You will be learning what the Bible and the Catholic Church have to say about racism, and you will be learning about what footballers have to say about racism in sport. Be inspired to write a poem encouraging people to “kick racism out”!

I look forward to sharing the best poems here on the blog, and perhaps in the More&More school magazine. Do your best!

Here are some Bible passages that might help you:

Exodus 22:21
Leviticus 19:34
Luke 10:25-37
Acts 2:1-13

Click on the picture to see a larger image of this Wordle (word cloud). The larger the word, the more it was mentioned on the wiki page giving an outline of the life of St Francis of Assisi. What can you deduce (work out) about St Francis from this Wordle?

Homework is due on Monday 30 June.

This week there is a treasure hunt competition. You will receive the handout in class, and you will need to find out a number of facts. Write as many answers as you can on the worksheet, then return on Monday. There will a prize to the person in the class who finds the most correct answers!

1. Where can you find the body of St Thomas More today?

2. Where is his head said to be?

3. Tell someone at home one fact about St Bernadette. Ask them to write it down and sign below:

4. Find someone in school who has visited either Lourdes, Siena or Assisi.

5. State one thing of which St Catherine of Siena is the patron saint.

6. Write down one story related to St Francis of Assisi.

I suppose it’s a little late for half term, but I hope that during the first week back you will take part in the competition! A postcard to anyone who correctly identifies the following places by adding a comment to this post! All the best!

I am adding a line under the images to try and keep them within the confines of this post. I don’t understand why they slip into the previous post … very strange.

7C: Homework is due on Tuesday 27 November.
7F: Homework is due on Friday 23 November.

We have learnt a bit about the Qur’an and how Muslims treat their holy book in class. So, for homework, I would like you to find five key facts about the Jewish holy book, the Torah. This could include how Jews treat and read the Torah as well as facts about who is believed to have written them, or what messages are contained within the Torah. For bonus points, you could also include a picture!

Also: a postcard for anyone who posts a link on here in the comments section to what they think is a good photo or image related to the Torah (as long as I think it is appropriate)! I look forward to you becoming more interactive!
