Famous people in the early church

This week in room six we were learning about famous people in the early churches . Me and my buddy, Rishmikaa made a poster about Phoebe. Phoebe was a co-worker of Paul, Phoebe was also a deacon. A deacon is a person who works as a co- worker or has the role of ministering and preaching within the churches.

Here is a photo of our poster:

Jesus

During term 1 we have been learning about Jesus the Son of God. This is my cube on how Jesus showed us that God loved us all as His children. We are all blessed with gifts of faith, hope and love.

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.

This year I am focusing on trying to do more housework without being asked and to try my hardest in my school work.

    

Room 6 Charism

Room 6 Charism


Did you know the reason Good Shepherd School named their syndicates Connolly and Sheridan? Connolly and Sheridan were the names of the first two sisters that worked at Good Shepherd School when it opened. That is just one of the fun facts we learnt this week when we explored the charism of our school. The charism of our school is the flavour of our school, it is what makes us Good Shepherd School. Over the week we looked at the history of the school and unpacked the visual Image of the Good Shepherd Cross with the values, scripture, feast days and the St Mary MacKillop sayings. We unpacked the values and why we have those values. In groups we identified what each value looked, sounded and felt like before making up definitions. Another new fact I learnt was the sisters were called the Brown Joes also because of their brown outfits.
