We’ve been UFOing it up!
We have been on the look out for UFO’s this week. This week we were given a project called UFO which stand for Understanding the Faiths of Others. We were spilt into 2 teams Boys verses the Girls.

We went out an about into the different parts of the community within Plymouth and studied different faiths. The fatih’s we had to study were: Us girls had Jehovah Witnesses & Buddhism.

The stickers on Matt’s face is the Coffee cup stickers from the McDonalds Coffee cups. Q: Who goes into McDonalds at 8am on a Friday morning to have a drink and play UNO? A: SWEATIES do! We had so much fun playing UNO in the middle of McDonald’s and having people looking at us and not quite understanding us and what we were doing there. This week we have been really busy!

Sooo term two is well under way and I’m enjoying the challenges we are facing up to. This week we prepared lesson plans to do some R.E. lessons and on Tuesday the team went to a local secondary school for the morning.

On the 31st of March 2010 South West Equipping and training were invited by Mrs Ley to speak to two classes of top and bottom set year 10 Religious Studies. I think it’s safe to say we were all slightly apprehensive about going ‘back to school’ in a slightly different meaning of the phrase. We had been asked to run two classes by explaining what SWEAT is all about and answering questions on Christianity put forward by the students. We had been given a list of the questions the students had asked the previous week and so we had a pretty good idea of what to expect. Once we...
