Sunday 30th March, 2014
A
big thank you SO MUCH to the Room 4 children who participated so willingly at
the Parish Family Mass this morning. The priest was Father Vaughn Hook and he was
delighted to see children bringing the day’s gospel to life with a role-play,
and doing the reading and Prayers of the Faithful. Well done, and thank you to
their families for supporting them, and to Roly Letham for writing and leading
the role-play. I told him we look forward to the next one!

Homework
The
homework books are a great way of monitoring the children’s progress as well as
testing their organisation skills. For those children who are showing excellent
self-management skills…. well done. For
those whose books I still don’t have in on a Sunday night – EEEEK!
Eisteddfod
Programme
Some
of the children may be a little unsure about what they are required to do for
the Scripture Eisteddfod. It is natural for them to focus on a particular
story, which is fine, but the task is to read a scripture, with an
introduction to explain why they chose it.
Try
and focus on a simple scripture, for example:
Introduction:
‘I chose this scripture because it shows
how much Jesus loves children. He was annoyed at the disciples because they
tried to stop people bringing their children to be prayed for by Jesus. Jesus
says that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to children such as these.’
Scripture:
Jesus Blesses the Little
Children: Matthew 19: 13-15
Then little children were
being brought to Him in order that He might lay His hands on them and pray. The
disciples spoke sternly to those who brought them; but Jesus said, “Let the
little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these
that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” And He laid His hands on them and went on
His way.
Everyone
will bring a simple scripture reading home in their homework books to prompt
some ideas. Feel free to use this, edit it, or leave it if you are already
organised.
Rocks
and Minerals Unit
As
part of our Science Unit I am hoping we can go on a little outing on Thursday
afternoon to find and identify rocks and stones. I need three parents for this so we meet the
ratio of 1 adult per 6 children. If anyone is available could they please let
me know as early as possible this week. We will head to the Rail Trail track along
from the Railway bridge, leaving school at 1.45 pm and returning by 2.50 pm.
Have a great week, Markelle
