English/ RE lesson

Yesterday we looked at life as a journey. We looked at the journey you take everyday and the people that help you on that journey. Then we looked at why some religious people consider life a journey and how their religion and belief guides them on that journey.

Today we are looking at drawing our life journey as a tree. Copy and paste this into you search engine then follow the instructions below.

Here is an idea of the tree you are trying to draw.

Remember, yours does not nee to look like mine – t’s your tree! But you must follow the colour code below:

Roots all in one colour – these are the people that help you, advise you support you .

Trunk – all in one colour – these are your accomplishments (what you have achieved) so far in your life. Anything you are proud of goes here, from learning to ride your bike to being a member of a sports team.

Branches – split into two  colours – one colour your ambitions: the things your are going to ‘strive’ to achieve (try to make happen). Like your career, type of person you want to be, places you will visit. The other colour on your branches is for your dreams; those things you would love to do!

Be imaginative – see them into me!
