Good morning boys and girls! I hope you're all doing well!

Aija brought me the gear yesterday, and my com center is up and running, so we will carry on with the Teams meetings from tomorrow onwards! 5th graders, you will have a meeting with me tomorrow at 9.00 and 6th graders will do a Finnish listening comprehension with me at 10.00 (please come to Teams already at 9.55). 

Today's programme: 

Religion 5-6: 
The Bible and pictures
Let's begin this morning by a sermon. First, watch this video.
Your book explains the usage of pictures and art in different religions, but specifically in Christian church (p. 80-83). Read through the text and answer these questions: 
1. How do different religions react on making images? Miten eri uskonnot suhtautuvat kuvien tekemiseen?
2. Why were the pictures painted in churches called "The poor man's Bible"? Miksi kirkkoihin maalattuja kuvia kutsuttiin "Köyhien Raamatuksi"?
3. Draw these Christian symbols: Ichthys and Chi Rho. Piirrä nämä kristilliset symbolit: iktys ja Kristus-monogrammi. 

English 5-6: 
Today, exactly 511 years ago, an English king, called Henry VII died and he was succeeded by his son Henry VIII, who is one of the most famous monarch of all time. One of the things that made him especially famous is the fact that he had six wives who, well... didn't end up so well. 

First, I want you to listen to this song. The quality isn't the greatest, but you'll get the idea! 
Second, answer these questions:

1. Henry VIII was the king of England from 1509 to _____?
2. Who were the six wives of Henry VIII?
3. What happened to them?
4. When Henry VIII died, he weighted almost 400 pounds and his chest was 53 inches wide. Find out how much is his weight in kilograms and how wide his chest was in centimeters.
