Krystal - Match the sentences

Today for Religious Education (RE), we found out a lot of information/facts about life in the early church. I had to match the sentences with another. I watched a video to find out some information about the life in the early church. I found out was that the first Christians sold their possessions, and shared the proceeds with the community. I also learned that the early Christians were persecuted by Jews, who wanted to get rid of Jesus’ followers. Besides teaching the early Christians often, healed people and performed miracles. Here is a link for the video I watched!

Wednesday 7th July 2021 ‘Green Ghana’

In this news article, the main person is Akufo-Addo. The key event from this news article is, when Akufo-Addo promised to make the small-scale gold mining and timber industry regular. This event took place in Ghana, Africa. This event took place on the 17th of June 2021. 

Thinking Questions:

Akufo-Addo promised to make the small-scale gold mining, and timber industry regular.  When one area of the land is tired, then the miners will move. A few plants grow on the mined, or disturbed land. Ghana has grasslands and rain forests.

This event took place in Ghana. Ghana means ‘warrior king’. Ghana is a really hot place in Africa. The most it could go up to is around 30°C (86°F), during the day it can go up to 24°C (75°F).
