Term 1 Week 6

On Monday the first beans went in the  'Bean Jar'. The children get to put in beans when they have done a 'choose kind' deed. This is a Lenten activity. If the jar fills up by the end of Lent --it magically changes from beans to jelly beans!!  Thanks for continuing to send the children along with money for the missions.  

Brooke putting in the first bean.

Dylan adding the next bean. Both children had received Choose Kind slips from the duty teacher.

Sophie has drawn one child helping another for 'Choose Kind"

Ayden drawing what 'Choose Kind' could look like. He is caring

for someone who  is sad. 

This week in RE we learnt what life was like for Jesus and his friends when they were 5. We looked at their houses and clothes.

On Friday we dressed in the clothes that Jesus and his friends would have worn. Three of the boys chose to stay in their own clothes. I have more photos of the children in small groups wearing the tunics, which I will print out and put on display in the classroom. 

For the week ahead we have the special mass on Friday when you and your child will be given a bible. This is a first for OLA!! 

This Wednesday I will be attending a conference with the other leaders in the school. The conference is about the power of praise. I am really looking forward to it.

Regards

Mary
