English

In the story of The snail and the whale' the whale says to the snail 'I will take you to places you only dreamt of.'

I wonder where the snail might dream of going to? Have a think of somewhere that it might like to go. It could be a real place or somewhere from your imagination. 

Draw a picture of where the snail would like to go and label it with a sentence.

RE

In the Bible Jesus calls himself 'the light of the world'. Can you think of different things that give out light? Christians believe that Jesus shines light into the lives of all people. God brought brightness when Jesus was born. He brings hope. We talked about hope at advent and one of the candles in the advent crown was showing hope.  In the Christmas story the angels brought light to the shepherds on the hillside and the star shone its bright light for the Wise men to follow. 

• You could make a collage to show the sunshine rising in the morning, perhaps one of the scenes for the Christmas story, or light shining in the darkness. 
• You could draw a candle or use the template. Use wax crayons to draw patterns on it, then put a thin paint wash over it.

Bronze= 30 seconds

Silver = 1 minute

Gold = 2+ minutes

Well Done!

Split your story into a beginning, middle and end.  You can use the beginning of the story from The snail and the whale. Then add your own adventure in the middle. Finish with an ending of your own or use the one form the book. 

I look forward to hearing where the snail has been!
