Jesus Strand- Religious Education

During term 1 we have been learning about Jesus the Son of God. This is my cube on how Jesus showed us that God loves us all as his children. We are all blessed with the gifts of Faith, Hope and Love.

Saint Joseph's Day Tabloid Sports

Tuesday 19th March was St Joseph’s Day Feast Day. The whole school attended mass to celebrate the leadership Saint Joseph showed. Saint Joseph is also special to our school because Saint MacKillop and the Sisters of St Joseph were inspired by Saint Joseph. Saint Joseph is also the foster father of Jesus. The following day, the whole school came together to celebrate with fun tabloid sports in our houses. We all got to play so many fun and exciting games. Thank you to our leaders who prepared this.

My Accident Story

CKK CRASH!!!

February 2019

By Liam

I am learning to entertain my audience with a recount.

CKK OOFFF ARGHHHHHH. This story is about my first major accident, what was yours? It was the last Friday of the summer holidays. I was playing on my trampoline while my dad and sister were in the pool. I was bouncing really high, trying to do an amazing slam dunk. I went too close to the net and when I did the slam dunk and I got my toe caught in the net mid-jump! The really annoying thing was it was the trampoline companies fault because the net was faulty. I ended up falling with my toe still in the net so I twisted my knee but that was the least of what happened!

Since my dad just thought it was a twisted knee he gave me some ice and just said to rest it. When my mum got home she didn’t see my knee so she thought my sibling and I had been irritating each other and we were off avoiding each other. However when it was time to go out for dinner we decided to go to A&E first as I was still complaining. Arriving at the doctors it was minutes after 6, the doctor just checked for ligament damage. The doctor gave me crutches and said it would be fine so try to rest up and not put too much pressure on it during the week.

A week later my dad kept on nagging me because I still found it painful to put pressure on my knee. My dad decided to take me back to A&E because my knee was still sore. When we got there we told the doctor and he said to have a x-ray. We had to wait for ages but when I got the x-ray done it showed I had broken my knee. It was so bad I had to have surgery on it!

In the end I have learnt my lesson about going too close to the netting. I'm all good now and my knee is all better except for some clicks sometimes.

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday

Today was Ash Wednesday. We went to church and sang some hymns, got the ashes on our
foreheads, sung happy birthday to a little girl starting school on her birthday! We then went up and got a blessing. We did make an attempt to keep our ashes on our foreheads, but that was a fail due to swimming and itching it off. We had a good day and hope everyone else did to. During the lent season we have to remember to pray, almsgiving and helping others. else did to. During the lent season we have to remember to pray, almsgiving and helping others. This year for lent I am focusing on giving up lollies and being more kind.

Shrove Tuesday

Shrove Tuesday

Today was Shrove Tuesday. We all had a great day in room 6. The festivities started with the burning of the ashes on the turf. This was a new and exciting experience that not many of us had seen before.
Later on during Religious Education we learnt more about Shrove Tuesday and Lent. People used to get rid of all their luxury items such as flour, sugar, butter, eggs and milk by making pancakes. We were even able to enjoy some pancakes of our own. We all thought it was a great start to lent and we are looking forward to the lenten season as we prepare for the death and resurrection of Jesus. We are the season of Lent and it is a time of preparation.
