What’s Happening in the Junior School in Religion

Amelia (1W): I love that God gives us our family. I also love that God helps us be brave if you are scared or if you are going up high somewhere you can be brave like God.

1M students praying around our prayer mat. We have been learning about the colours of the Liturgical Season - right now we have purple on our prayer table to represent the season of Lent. Before we pray, we say the Acknowledgement of Country and practice breathing which prepares us to be calm, reverent and peaceful for prayer. 

Amelia (2H) learning about the 10 Lepers: God wants everyone to be friends with everyone and it doesn’t matter what they look like, they can just make friends with them and try to be friendly and kind.

Mason, Lucy and Finlay (2B): We have been learning about how Caritas helps people in need. As a class we read a story about a lady named Oliva. Caritas helped Oliva and the people in her village have access to fresh water and an education. We have been working very hard to put money into our Project compassion box to help people like Oliva.

2H students celebrating their ‘Accepting Hands’. In Religion, 2H has been focusing on the Catholic value of Acceptance. As a class we discussed what makes us similar as well as different. We wrote these ideas on two separate hands then glued the hands back to back. This was to show that no matter our similarities or differences we accept everyone.
