Tockwith’s Big Frieze

Reception kicked off the whole school RE day with the creation story. They acted out the story then moved on to some art work.  Year 1 looked at the story of Noah’s Ark, they started the day off with a helicopter story of Noah’s Ark, counted up in 2s in maths (counting our animals into the Ark) and then each child designed their own Ark to take home. Year 2 looked at the story of Joseph.  They made a dreamcoat, learnt the song and designed their very own colourful dreamcoat. Children in year 3 looked at Incarnation. As part of this they explored how the nativity story would have been different if Jesus was born in the year 2021. Year 4 listened to the song “my lighthouse” by Rand Collective, listened to the lyrics and linked them to the stories / Jesus’ teachings from the gospels.  They focused on following the pulse and rhythm within the song, linking to our music curriculum.  Year 5 explored ways of showing forgiveness and how Christians feel when they are feeling ‘right’ with god.  They discussed how it feels to have a weight (sins) lifted off their shoulders. Children in year 6 read the story ‘The Road to Damascus’ and then looked at the history of Damascus.  They discussed the quote ‘I was blind but now I can see’ and then used their interpretation of this to create some amazing artwork.
