R.E - A place of Worship

 PLACES OF WORSHIP

In Room 9 we are learning about the places of worship in Jesus' time. We have been learning about the Jerusalem temple, the place where Jesus went to pray.

We have been comparing the temple to our church and were amazed at the differences, 

For example: 

- Women were only allowed in a certain place (The Court of Women)

- There was a place where money was collected. This is called the treasury. 

- The size difference! The temple is huge!

- The materials in the church were very ornamental and looked very expensive 

- Everyone is welcomed in our church and people aren't separated

Now we are recreating our own version of the Jerersulum Temple. 

First, we had to create a blueprint of our temple. This had the have the places in the temple and notes of what we would need to create it. 

Here are some photos of us working on our designs. Lots of great korero (discussion) about what we want to use to make it realistic and using math concepts. We have our blueprint with us so we can make changes as we see fit. 

Great problem solving and teamwork happening here!
