Rugrats Passover Movie

Year 7 RE - The Environment

Last week year 7 students took part in the 'Council of Beings' after learning about the 1986 Assissi declarations when leaders of world's major religions gathered to put forward their views on the environment and discuss how best to manage growing concerns over the welfare of our planet.

The year 7 students discussed the environmental problems faced by different animals and plants and what could be done to help protect them. Reflecting on last week's session, students should now give a brief explanation of which aspect of creation they feel needs to most help and why. They should also try to give some suggestions about what we as pupils and teachers of Dixons City Academy can do to help protect out world.

Jewish Passover

Year 7 are currently studying Judaism and have enjoyed taking part in a passover meal.

Their next assessment is on the life of Moses and the importance of Passover to Jewish people.

The video summarises the story of the passover.

The next clip will help you to remember the symbolic meaning of each food eaten during the Passover (Seder) meal.

Why do you think Jewish people think that it is important to remember Passover and Moses today?

Y7 - Moses - a good leader?

Year 7 are currently looking at the concept of Freedom through investigating the life of Moses. Students should look at the above website if you need reminding of any of the key events in the life of Moses. This will also help with your assessment work on Freedom. Good luck... Mr Davies

Church Assessment!

Year 7 have visited our local Church - St.Stephens. In order to acheive level 5 & 6 in their assessment students need to compare different Churches. The website below will take you on virtual tours of different Churches and is an excellent resource for those students aiming to achieve level 5 or 6.
