RE in 1/2

Did you know the Bible is not just a book? In fact it’s more accurately described as a library. It contains many different books and styles of writing. This term students in Years One and Two will be looking closely at the ‘books’ in the New Testament and learning about the different forms of writing contained with it. The New Testament tells us the story of Jesus’ life here on earth, but also helps us understand his mission and ministry. The New Testament also tells us about life in the Early Church and encourages us all to continue to live as Jesus taught.

NAIDOC Week

Thank you to 5/6 who led the whole school in prayer so beautifully last Friday. It was lovely to see how maturely they shared prayer for NAIDOC Week with the younger classes.

Winter Woolies Day

This Friday, 29th July we will hold our annual Winter Woolies Day. As usual children are invited to wear warm Winter Woolies (or Pyjamas or an oodie or a onesie if they wish) and in return to bring in a donation of warm winter clothing for donation to St Vincent de Paul. Suggestions from St Vincent de Paul of Winter essentials include socks (new only please), blankets, beanies, gloves, jumpers and coats. During the day we will hold some special activities to raise awareness in the children of life for homeless people within our own Canberra community. We will also be visited by the Night Patrol Van and see how it works to support the poor in Canberra.

Children are also invited to bring a gold coin donation for a hot milo at Recess. All money raised will be donated to the Night Patrol Van by St Vincent de Paul.
