What students are learning about

This week most classes in the school have continued to focus on Mary. She has many lessons to teach us about patience, love and acceptance. 

For their last remote learning task Year 4 had to read out the Hail Mary and record themselves. Xavier did an excellent job! You can see he set up the prayer space carefully too.

Year One coloured have added their own creativity to pictures of Mary. Maddie, Edith and Rylan well done!

2 Blue learning about Hail Mary and Mary symbols. 

So we finally bit the bullet and got a dog! Long story short, someone we knew was unable to keep their 2 year old chocolate lab.  They were really happy to give him to a family. That is where we fit in.

It is very new and he is finding his feet, missing his other humans, I suspect.  After all that has happened in the last year there is a healing energy that has come with him.  I can’t quite put my finger on it but it is lovely to focus on something new and long awaited.

Pope Franics, in the opening passage of Laudato Si, uses the words of St Francis to start his encyclical on care for our common home. Reminding us that all of God’s creatures and creation are ours to protect and celebrate. 

1. “LAUDATO SI’, mi’ Signore” – “Praise be to you, my Lord”. In the words of this beautiful canticle, Saint Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us. “Praise be to you, my Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces various fruit with coloured flowers and herbs”.[1]

P.S. Quick question…will my floors ever be clean again?

God bless
