R.E. PentecostPentecost is a Greek word meaning ‘the fiftieth Day’. At this feast the Jewish people celebrate Shavuot, the Festival of Weeks. It celebrates the giving of the Torah, that is the first five books of the Bible, at Mount Sinai. In Jesus’ day it would have been a time when there were a lot of people in Jerusalem. This was the time of year when the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles and Mary. This is described in Chapter 2 of the Acts of the Apostles.

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

When the day of Pentecost came, all the believers were gathered together in one place. Suddenly there was a noise from the sky which sounded like a strong wind blowing, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire which spread out and touched each person there. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.

There were Jews living in Jerusalem, religious people who had come from every country in the world. When they heard this noise, a large crowd gathered. They were all excited, because all of them heard the believers talking in their own languages. In amazement and wonder they exclaimed, “These people who are talking like this are Galileans! How is it, then, that all of us hear them speaking in our own native languages? We are from Parthia, Media, and Elam; from Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia; from Pontus and Asia; from Phrygia and Pamphylia, from Egypt and the regions of Libya near Cyrene. Some of us are from Rome, both Jews and Gentiles converted to Judaism, and some of us are from Crete and Arabia—yet all of us hear them speaking in our own languages about the great things that God has done!”

Many of them believed his message and were baptised, and about three thousand people were added to the group that day. They spent their

Year 4 Timetable Week Beginning Monday 18th Maytime in learning from the apostles, taking part in the fellowship, and sharing in the fellowship meals and the prayers.

Based on the Acts of the Apostles

The power of the Holy Spirit is for all Christians and all are called to share the Gospel message. The Good News of Jesus is for the whole world. The event is celebrated in Christian churches on the Feast of Pentecost.

History MayansThis week we are going to find out about everyday life for the Maya people.What was everyday life like for the Mayans?

Year 4 Timetable Week Beginning Monday 18th MayThe homes of ordinary Mayans, unlike the grand palaces of the royals and nobles, were simple one-room houses. The walls were made from mud and timber and were painted red. The roofs were thatched and steep so that the rain fell off them easily. Most houses had just one door and no windows. Mayan homes were workplaces as well as places to sleep and eat. Women had to work hard to prepare meals, fetch firewood and water, prepare food for the winter months by drying beans, corn and chillies in the sun, and making clothes for their families. They would spin plant fibres into thread and then weave the thread into cloth to make tunics, cloaks and blankets. Mayans knew how to dye cloth using dyes made from fruits, flowers and cochineal beetles but only the rich were allowed to wear brightly coloured fabrics. Girls helped their mothers around the home. They learnt how to do all the chores their mothers did so that one day they could run their own household. Boys would learn the hunting and farming skills of their fathers. They would learn how to make weapons, how to hunt, fish and farm, and how to defend themselves in battle.

Mayan men were responsible for providing for their families. They farmed the land, hunted wild animals and fished. Mayans ate animals such as rabbits, turkeys, deer, a breed of hairless dog and wild boar, and they caught turtles, dolphins and shellfish. They grew crops such as squash, pumpkin, beans, papaya, avocados, chillies, limes, sunflowers for seeds and herbs for seasoning, but the staple of their diet was maize. Maize was so central to their lives that it was considered sacred. Mayans also used the beans from cacao trees to make a chocolate drink. However, this was reserved for the ruling classes. The Mayans did not have metal tools or hunting weapons. They used wood, stone and obsidian (a type of volcanic glass) to make spears, axes, bows, arrows and knives. They also didn’t have wheels either. There is evidence of wheels on Mayan toys but no evidence that they used wheels on carts.

Q uick Facts:

• Mayan merchants traded feathers of brightly coloured birds at markets. • Snakes, jaguars and pumas were hunted for their furs.• Mayans liked snacking on locusts!• Mayans used plants as medicine. • Mayans liked to keep themselves and their homes clean and tidy. • Mayan men wore only a loincloth and cloak. Women wore knee-length tunics. • Women traded pots, clothes and crops at markets.
