Religious Education

RE in 5/6

This term will be exploring how Mary holds an important role in the Catholic Church’s story. By the end of the term students in years 5 & 6 will:

• understand that all writing has context
• understand that Mary holds a special place in our Church story
• understand how meditative prayer is practiced

What a wonderful opportunity for your family to share your Marian practices or perhaps to start a new one? Here is a link to some simple ideas you and your family may wish to explore. This month, October, is the month of the Rosary and an ideal time to start a practice of regularly praying the rosary.

The Feast of Archangels fell in the school holidays and will be celebrated by our school this Friday. We will hold our Whole School Prayer Time at the start of the school day in our St Michael’s Church. 5/6 are leading us in prayer focusing on our patron saint, St Michael. Families are most welcome to join us for this whole school celebration.
