What students are learning about
One of the many highlights of Term 4 is the Kinder Nativity. Of course, it is sweet and cute and full of joy, but it is also a powerful learning experience. If you ask students about their Kinder Nativity presentation they can remember what part they played and who the other characters in the story were.
Acting out the birth of Jesus, even in a simple way, helps students to connect more deeply to the profound miracle of the birth of our Saviour. Some learning as they get older includes, that both Matthew and Luke had different foci for their audiences and the deep relevance of a 2000-year-old story for us today.
Across the school there are many nativity artworks being created. Year 3 have used an interesting technique involving laminating sheets!
Catholic Life and Reflection
How is slow time going for you? It certainly is a struggle at this time of the year.
So far this week, I have had to apologise for speaking unkindly to a dear friend, forgetting to organize something and for trying to do too many things at once. I have been overwhelmed at times.
My plan for next week is to find time each day to read the reflection on this blog. It is only a few minutes, but I will know that I have made time purposefully to reflect on the things I should be focused on. Maybe you would like to join me?
God bless,
