RE
In today’s RE lesson, we are going to listen to a story from the Hindu religion. The story is called ‘Six Blind Men and an Elephant’. In this story, six blind men meet in the village and try to decide what an elephant looks like. The ruler of the village takes them to meet an elephant and they all feel a different part of the elephant so all get a different idea as to what it looks like.
Follow this link to see an animation of the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn9BUfUCL4I
Hindus tell this story to describe God, they believe that there is one God that is seen in many different ways, just like the elephant was.
Your task is to divide a piece of paper into sections and draw yourself in different ways. For example a son/daughter, brother/sister, pupil, sports team player, game player, pet carer, there are lots of things that you could be drawn as.
