Our Chaplains help us to learn prayers and hymns. They help us to prepare liturgies and answer our questions. 

Thank you E and S for helping ang guiding us.

Father Sean came to visit us. We had lots of questions for him about being a priest. He told us what he does all day. We found out he says Mass, visits sick people and helps people to learn about God. He also told us about the church. 

Father Sean told us he has been a priest for a long time and he likes it. What would you like to ask Father Sean?

Thank you Father Sean for visiting and helping us to learn about God.

We can help to prepare for a prayer service. We check the colour of the cloth and collect the crucifix and bible. We add special things to help us think about the bible story or special time we are focusing on. 

We especially like to light a candle. We can hold a cross when it is our turn to offer a prayer. 

Sometimes we bless ourselves with Holy Water after. 

How do you prepare for prayers? 

We looked in the mirror for someone special that God loves. 

Who did we see?

God loves us all just the way we are. Each of us is special and here for a very special purpose. We value the Human Dignity of everyone we meet. 

We went to visit our church. We said a prayer to thank God for all He created. We talked about what happens in church. We know that Father Sean leads us in church. We can listen, pray and sing in church.

We sang a hymn called 'Who made the Twinkling Stars?'.

Do you know any hymns? 

Deacon Tim came to bless us and our prayer area. He sprinkled Holy Water on us. This reminds us of our baptism. We prayed together for new beginnings in our school. 

We are learning about Creation. We know that God made the world. We like to look after the plants and little creatures God made. We made a new home for the ladybirds and other bugs we found. How can we be good stewards of Creation? 

We are learning how to make the Sign of the Cross. We say prayers at the start and end of the day. We ask for help and give thanks for all we have.
