THE SEASON OF ADVENT BEGINS WITH THE LIGHTING OF THE ADVENT WREATH.

The ring of evergreens-remind us of God's unending love.....

The small green branches -remind us to grow green and healthy for life.....

The light the candles give us -reminds us of Jesus who shows us to live simply and happily.....

Each week the light grows brighter as we wait happily for  Jesus on CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!

ROAD PATROL TRAINING FOR 2016!

Dear parents/Caregivers
 Just letting you all know that our year 6 students will be undergoing  Road Patrol training  by our school police officer tomorrow from 9am to 12pm.
They will be required to do a refresher course early next year and forms will be sent out for you to sign giving them permission to do this duty.
I think they are very keen for this training.                              Grace

Dear Room 5

Well how are you all doing?

Sorry to tell you but my heels are badly sprained and all strapped up at the moment.

The podiatrist said I have been  giving my feet a very rough time  and  I might have to give up tennis. I couldn't believe my ears and told him that it would be impossible for me to give up the sport I love.

One strapped up heel!




He then suggested I rest them until they heal.

 

Because my heels are in a lot of pain, I am resting them over the next few days  so I can be with you until the end of the year.

Look after Mrs Grant .She has the details of what I would like you to do tomorrow .
 

I am sure you had a good day with Mrs Bell. Take care --- and lead the singing for the whole school well. I am so proud of you!

Miss you guys and girls! Have a nice weekend.
See you all on Monday!

 

God bless

Mrs Reddy.

RUBY TURNED ELEVEN LAST WEEK-HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

A couple  of  lovely ladies from the Education Review Office came to our school to have a check up on how we are learning. They stayed  for three days.
Anna and I from Rm5 represented our class to show them our blog. We explained what was happening and how everything worked. They liked that every student in our class  had a go at blogging and to see some good action shots posted.
I hope that everything goes well and they enjoy our school.

Dear Diary

This morning Room 5 went to Confession at Stella Maris Church. First we sat down and Father Dan talked to us about the ten commandments and what some of them meant. Father Frances helped Father Dan to forgive our sins. When  we finished we sang “Peace and Forgiveness”.
Father Dan said “Mrs Reddy ,now you have a class of angels !”

           Reconciliation

In a couple of weeks Father Dan is going to hear our  confession to prepare for Christmas.

The goal: My goal is to go to reconciliation

Materials: You and your priest

Steps:

Step 1 -Start with the sign of the cross.

Step 2  - Say a very special pray “Bless me Father for I have sinned, It has been __ since my last confession”.

Step3-  Tell Father your sins in a private place or in a church and then the father will bless you and forgive your sins.

Step 4 - Father talks to you and tells you what to do to make up for your sins.

Step5 - Say the Act Of Contrition “Oh my God I am very sorry that I have sinned against you because you are so good and with your help I will try not to sin again”.

Step7  - Go to a quiet place and do your penance.  

 

Reconciliation helps you to become friends with God and people again.

PROCEDURAL WRITING IN ROOM 5

We learned to  Pray the Rosary. Here is a procedure written by Ashlyn.

The Rosary is a traditional Catholic prayer about what happened in the lives of Mary and Jesus.

Goal: To pray the Rosary.

Requirements: A set of Rosary beads.

STEPS:

1: Make the sign of the cross holding the charm of Jesus and say The Creed.

2: Say one Our Father.

3: Pray three Hail Marys.

4: Pray one Our Father.

5: Announce the first mystery and pray one Our Father.

6: Pray ten Hail Marys followed by one Glory Be.

7: Repeat the steps for the other 4 decades.

8: Finish with Hail Holy Queen or A Litany To Mary.

We pray the Rosary in our class and we did a lot of this prayer last month-in October.

 This feast reminds us of our ultimate goal to be with God.We are called to follow Jesus in all that we

 Our reading last week was to research a saint each to find how they inspire us.
