Catholic Life and Reflection
What Students are Learning About
In Year 4 we have learnt about different ways to pray, both formally and informally. We learnt how to write Prayers of the Faithful and Blessing Prayers following a structure. We also learnt about Praying with Colour and creating mandalas. Mandala means circle and is used in many different faiths and cultures. We listened to quiet music as we focused on the colours and patterns within our mandalas.
What Teachers are Learning About
The Catholic Education Communities of Collaboration project has provided us with an opportunity to co-plan Religious Education units of work with other teachers in our system. We are almost half way through the project. At the end of next year all the units will have been planned and taught. This project is important to building the skills of teachers in planning rich and engaging Religious Education units. This term we have 4 teachers participating.
Catholic Life and Reflection
Year 6 are leading assembly this week. Our focus is the scripture from Jeremiah
Jeremiah 29:11-14
11 For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. 12 Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. 13 When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, 14 I will let you find me, says the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.
God bless,
