Writing

At the start of the year we looked at Tanka poems and we have

recently briefly looked at Odes. This week we will be going into

more detail revisiting and analysing the figurative language in

Odes while creating our own descriptive Ode poems.

Reading

This week you will be reading the poems

you have been given and answering the

questions related to them in full sentences.

“The words on the page are asleep or dead

until a human voice breathes life into them.” (Paul Cookson)

After answering the questions, practise reading the poems aloud to

an audience.

Do you think you can learn any of the poems by heart?

Think about how you are going to remember the words and show

the rhythm, repetitions, expressions and actions when reading aloud.

RE

What is a good Samaritan?

and answering questions about it.

Samaritans have you come

across in your life?

The Tour de France is the worlds

most famous cycling race. Covering

more than 3,500km.

Generally the best cyclist are award-

ed specially designed jerseys after the race.

Can you design a jersey for Tour de France?

Think about what logo you would have on it. I

Can you write a description of what material the jersey would

be made out of and why this would be beneficial as part of

the cycling uniform for a future Tour de France?

Last week you compared a French and an English

school. This week you are going to create an advertisement for a French

school, encouraging children from the UK to attend.

Grammar

This is one of the last parables we will be looking at. There are many other parables in the Bible, so if you want to hear more ask your parents to read them to you. This next parable started with a man

asking Jesus a question. The man who asked Jesus a question was very smart. Maybe he was trying to trick Jesus and see if he was a good teacher or not. This is what he asked: "Teacher, what should I

do so I can go to Heaven and live forever?"

Jesus replied, "What is written in the Bible? What do you think?"

The man answered, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength, and love your neighbour as yourself."

"That is right!" Jesus said. "Do this and you will live forever in Heaven."

But the man wanted to know more so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbour?"

Jesus decided to answer this question with a parable to help everyone who was listening understand.

Jesus said:

"There once was a Jewish man walking along a road. He was coming from Jerusalem and was heading to Jericho, which was a full day or two of walking.

The road was rocky and there were small hills all around. The man was just humming to himself and enjoying the nice day when suddenly a group of men jumped out from behind a hill. They took all

his belongings and tore off most of his clothes. They didn't want him to follow them so they beat him up very badly, and left him lying bleeding on the side of the road. A few minutes later, a priest was

walking down the same path and noticed the man lying on the side of the road. Do you know what he did? You'd think he would run over and help the man. Instead he crossed the road and walked on

the other side and acted like he didn't see the man. About an hour or so later, another man, called a Levite, was walking down the road. Levites were people who assisted priests with their work. He

would probably help the man. But you know what he did? He slowed down and walked a little closer to the man, but then kept walking without helping him at all.

You might be thinking that maybe the man lying by the side of the road looked like he was resting or something and that is why the priest and the Levite didn't stop to help. The trouble is, it was easy to

tell he was badly hurt. The man was bleeding, had most of his clothes ripped off him, and he was bruised and hardly breathing. Just a few minutes later, another man came walking. He was a

Samaritan. One thing you should know about Samaritans is that Jewish people didn't like them. Jewish people usually didn't treat Samaritans very well, so they never got along. The man who was

dying on the road was a Jewish man. So what do you think the Samaritan did? You would think he would walk by and maybe even laugh at the man.

But as soon as he saw the man, he went over to him and felt compassion for him. He put bandages on his sores and poured oil and wine (which were quite expensive) on the sores to prevent them from

getting worse. Then he lifted the man on his own donkey and took him to a hotel to take care of him. The next day the Samaritan took out enough money so the man could stay at the hotel until he was

well enough to leave. He paid the man at the front desk and asked him to take care of the man. If he wasn't better after about two months, the Samaritan would come back and pay for any extra cost."

After Jesus finished the story, he asked, "Which of the three men do you think was a neighbour to the man who was left beaten on the side of the road?"

The man who asked him the question at the beginning replied, "The one who had compassion and helped him."

Jesus told him, "Go and do the same."
