Religious Education Curriculum

5/6 are unpacking the big idea –Justice creates harmony in our world. During the last week, the students were asked to categorise a variety of ‘leaders’ both positive and negative within the community and on a global scale. They also began to explore social teachings about charity, morals, justice and integrity and discussed what it meant to them. They compared their knowledge of these to the dictionary definition and related them to real-world examples. The students then reorganised the photos according to the words explored previously and settled on a new grouping.

Throughout the term the students will recommence reorganising the photos of the leaders as they move through the inquiry learning cycle. 5/6 can’t wait to resume their exploration and deepen their understandings to see the impact that some individuals or groups have had on the world they are living in.

Grandparents’ Day Whole School Prayer Timegrandparents3.jpg

grandparents4.jpgThank you to 3/4 for your beautiful WSPT last Thursday. It was a lovely opportunity to reflect on our Grandparents and special older people in our lives. We thoroughly enjoyed the story on ‘How to babysit a Grandma and a Grandpa’. We hope that many of the Grandparents have received and enjoyed their special letters.

Catholic Mission

October is Mission Month in the Catholic Church and as such we turn our thoughts to the missionary work being done here in Australia as well as overseas, helping those in poverty. Catholic Mission works in countries all around the world helping with food, education, health services and evangelisation. Learn more about their wonderful work here: https://www.catholicmission.org.au/

WSPT & Socktober

Thank you to everyone who participated in last Friday’s Socktober celebrations. Who knew we had so many crazy socks out there? Congratulations, as a community we raised $118.00 for Catholic Mission. Special thanks to 1/2 for your informative and moving liturgy. It certainly provoked thoughtful and empathetic conversations.

     

Confirmation

How are you going with working through the Confirmation preparation book? Week 4 in the book Our Family Prepares explores the Gift of the Holy Spirit. It presents us with several of the beautiful images we have for the Holy Spirit, wind, fire, breath and a dove. Which image is the one you connect best with? Please send all Letters of Affirmation back into school so they will be available for your child to read on their Confirmation Retreat Day next week on Thursday 29th October.

Parent / Child Formation Evening

Our Parent/Child Formation Evening for Confirmation will be on next week, on Thursday 29th October from 6:00pm. It will be held via Zoom. The link for this is: https://cgcatholic.zoom.us/j/94273514916

Please remember all candidates and a parent/sponsor must be present for this special part of the preparation for Confirmation. Resources to support you for this session will be sent home on Thursday 29th October.
