Year 8 Work

Year 8 students have been thinking about ultimate questions. They were asked to think about life after death and if we have a soul. Some excellent work was produced by students who were asked to draw their soul - not an easy challenge!

Tahsin thought her soul looked like this:



She wrote: 'I think my soul looks like this because it symbolises what I am like. The smile represents that I am happy and lively, the way I have done my hair means that I am neat sometimes ans messy other times, the dollar sign in my eyes means that I like to spend money on clothes and shoes'

Alisha drew this:



She said: 'I do not think there is a soul (so you can't live on) but I do think people will remember you.... that's not the same as being alive'

Harneet had this idea:



She said: 'This is what I think my soul is like. All the different colours represent different emotions. They are mixed up because that is what I feel like inside. If I was a completely happy person it would be just colours that are bright, but there are somethings in my life that are not happy therefore I have grey lines in my sou. These represent pain, hatred, anger and all the other bad emotions'

Jordan said: 'I couldn't draw the soul because it is see through so you cannot see it - that is my opinion. When my grandad died my mum was with him and a gust of wind blew out the window and my mum and family believe it was his soul. And that is why you cannot see it because it is a spirit'

Finally Tony came up with this:



He said: 'My soul should be a smiley face because I am quite a happy person'

Great ideas from everyone - well done!
