Saints: Religious Education

Our focus this term in Religious Education was the Communion of Saints. We learnt about the three parts of the Communion of Saints and how we are all connected. The Communion of Saints is bonded through prayer, baptism and the Eucharist.
As part of our studies we researched and created a slide show that explored a live of a Saint.

Communion Of Saints

We have been learning about how we are all living saints and on All Souls Day we pray for the people in Purgatory. Miss Down split us in three groups the living, the people in Purgatory and the people in Heaven. Then she taped the three groups separate and then taped all of the groups together and told us that everyone is a saint. Living or lifeless.

Prayer Gift

In Religious Education we are learning about how prayers can be gifts.Here is a prayer gift I gave to my mum today.

St Mary Mackillop feast day

Yesterday was the feast day of Saint Mary Mackillop. We started our day attending our parish mass to celebrate her feast day as a whole community. All the students came back from mass to continue the celebrations by joining our buddy class. Room 4 and 6 together came together to work on paper dolls of ourselves. We know St Mary of the Cross always supported and helped all the children in need. We made a large St Mary MacKillop and we placed all out paper dolls of ourselves around her. Then we were all very lucky to receive a free sausage sizzle from the PTA to continue the celebrations at lunch. In the afternoon we then got to go and play a range of fun games with our buddy class. This was such a fun day working along each other but most of all having fun. Happy Saint Mary MacKillop Feast Day.
