Here is a murti of Lakshmi 

(Goddess of money, wealth, abundance, fertility & prosperity).

Here is a murti of Ganesh

(God of luck, wisdom, understanding, and a discriminating intellect that one must possess to attain perfection in life). 

Hindus may worship at home or in a temple.  Many Hindus have a shrine with images or statues- we will learn more about this next week The images help them focus when praying. 

The images remind them of stories, values and different aspects of God. Hindus may offer flowers, food or light a lamp during worship

Look at all of the different forms Brahman can be in.

To be able to find the capacity of a container using non-standard units.

Get two containers, which container has the greater 'capacity'? Measure with cups or water and see if their predictions were correct.

The jug can hold 4 cups of liquid, and the bottle can hold 3 cups, so the jug has a greater capacity. 

Go outside and complete this as small groups. 

Introduce and discuss key vocabulary, linking meanings of new words to those already known.
