You can either type your answers onto the activity sheet or write them down on paper. Mark your work with the answers afterwards.

Can you write your own description or short story about the volcanic eruption in this picture? If you want to challenge yourself, can you include personification and metaphors? Here is an example: It was the moment they had been dreading for decades. The volcano had finally erupted. The earth shook as torrents of molten lava cascaded over the helpless landscape. Clouds of ash swarmed over the countryside, enveloping everything in their path. Chaos reigned as the beast, that had been sleeping for years, smote his fury upon the world. In the distance, a flash of silvery lightning licked across the sky; a snake’s forked tongue lashing out in fury to strike it’s prey. The world was on fire. It was nature’s turn to take it’s revenge. |

Worship: During this time of Coronavirus, so many people have been undertaking good deeds and showing acts of kindness to help others affected by the pandemic. One example was Captain Tom Moore. He is a retired military person and now lives in Yorkshire. He is 100 years old and thought that he could help by doing a sponsored walk, walking 100 lengths of his garden before his 100th Birthday. He hoped to raise £1,000 for NHS Charities Together which support the incredible NHS staff and volunteers caring for COVID-19 patients. Captain Tom managed to complete the 100 laps and his walk featured across the world on news programmes. People around the world were so inspired by the effort that Captain Tom made to help others that thousands and thousands of people sponsored him and he not only raised his target of £1,000 but over £32 million, to help our NHS heroes. Michael Ball, a famous singer, heard about Captain Tom’s walk and they recorded a song together which also raised money for the NHS charities. It is called ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’ The Bible tells a story of a poor widow who is very kind in her offering to the temple and although it didn’t seem much to some people around her, it was the most kind because she made a real sacrifice, giving all that she had to live on. Captain Tom’s walk by someone who clearly finds walking difficult and a real effort to do reminds us, as well, that everyone is of value and has something to offer; Jesus teaches us that each one of us is precious and loved by God for who we are and how we are. Have a listen to Captain Tom’s song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcouA_oWsnU Who would you like to say thank you to for keeping you safe or looking after you? Perhaps you could write them a letter, draw them a picture or write a prayer to say thank you. |
