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.
