R.E

In Room 5 we have been learning about God and what he is. We had to make a page saying what God is. Some things I did wrote God is everything, God is caring, awesome and a mother and father.
Here is my page.

 

R.E Slide

In Room 5 we made slide shows in R.E. We had to pick people that created the early church. Me Kayano and Hannah picked Phoebe. We had to find out things about her. Her is our slide show.

Shrove Tuesday

Today we have made pancakes. We made them because it's Shrove Tuesday. In Jesus' time they made pancakes to use up all their eggs, flour, milk and sugar because they start fasting for 40 days. This time of year is called Lent. Lent prepares us for Easter. If they didn't use them up they would be all hard and would have gone off. We also burned the palm leaves from Palm Sunday last year. We burned them because it's Ash Wednesday tomorrow and we will get the ashes on our forehead.   

Prayers

Week 5 and 6 were busy for Room 6 we presented our assembly in week 5 and had whole school prayers on Monday, Week 6. Our theme for prayers was community, compassion, and discipleship. This was inspired as we approach christmas and start to think about others and those who are in need of help. Our Reading was 1 John 3:16-18, we also presented a song that we put lyrical dances moves to our song was: So will I, by Hillsong. This is the song: So will I.

St Mary Mackillop’s Feast Day

Yesterday was the feast day of Saint Mary Mackillop. We started our day attending our parish mass to celebrate her feast day as a whole community. All the students came back from mass to continue the celebrations by joining our buddy class. Room 4 and 6 together came together to work on paper dolls of ourselves. We know St Mary of the Cross always supported and helped all the children in need. We made a large St Mary MacKillop and we placed all out paper dolls of ourselves around her. Then we were all very lucky to receive a free sausage sizzle from the PTA to continue the celebrations at lunch. In the afternoon we then got to go and play a range of fun games with our buddy class. This was such a fun day working along each other but most of all having fun. Happy Saint Mary MacKillop Feast Day.
