Thank you to Year 4 for leading the Stations of the Cross for us to watch.
We began learning about Holy Week by acting out the events of Palm Sunday.
Learning about the events of Holy Week
We learned about Saint Joseph in assembly and then wrote prayer intentions to Saint Joseph.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Lent
Mothering Sunday or Mother’s Day is always celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent.
This year it is on March 14th.
It is a day to think about the kindness shown to us by our mother who loves and cares for us.
We made a special card for Mother’s Day and wrote a message of thanks to our mums.
Our Lenten Promises - pray, fast and give
Our Lady of Lourdes feast day is on 11th February
We learned about Our Lady of Lourdes and Saint Bernadette. Then we held a prayer service by the grotto.
Enjoying a French breakfast to celebrate Our Lady of Lourdes feast day!
Parables and Miracles
The Calming of the Storm (Mk. 4:35-41)
We read how Jesus performed a miracle by calming the storm on Lake Galilee and drew pictures to show this.
This miracle teaches us that we have to have faith in Jesus and always believe in times of trouble.

November - Remembrance
Our Unit is Sharing in the Life of Jesus
October is the month of the Rosary
As we are learning about the Old Testament we learned about David and we loved the story of David and Goliath.
We also read and discussed Psalm 23 which was written by David. We discussed the psalm and rewrote it together.
We praise you God, because you give us everything we need like food and drink,
You let me rest in my bed,
You show me what to do in the Bible,
You make me strong when I am scared.
You are with me always to look after me and help me because you love me.
We then wrote our psalms; praising and thanking God:
Psalm by J
You are with me always Lord; you are so special,
Thank you God for my home and my friends,
Lord God, you are my hope and you give me love,
I love you God,
I will always try to follow you.
Psalm by E
You are with me always Lord,
You always guide me through the tough times,
Lord you are my hope,
You are my shepherd.
We took part in Mass this week - virtually
Our assembly this week was about Saint Matthew. Matthew was a tax collector but Jesus forgave him. He became a disciple.
We celebrated the feast of The Exaltation on the Cross and remembered how much Jesus loves us.
We took part in an online CAFOD assembly about 'The World we Want' and making a difference to our world.
