Advent... a time to wait

We have started our learning about Advent. We read the book the 12 Days of Christmas, because we are learning the song.

The pictures were beautiful, check out a couple of the pages below.

On Friday the 30th of October, we celebrated All Saints Day. It is usually celebrated on 1st November and it is all about pray to the saints and for all those we know who have passed. We dressed up as a Saint such as St Therese of Lisieux, St Francis of Assisi, Euphrasie Barbier, St Aidan, and St Christopher, St Joseph. We went outside and played rob the nest, cat and mouse with the parachute. We also drew what a Saint was like and a place that made us happy. We felt prayerful, happy, and chill because of the day.

What do you know about All Saints Day?

See the photos below of our celebration day.

Learning about the Cathedral

We have been learning about our Catholic Cathedral called The Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. In the earthquake, a statue of Mary was on top of the cathedral when the earthquake happened and she turned to face the school. I learned that Bishop Paul Martin had the choice to demolish the cathedral and he did because it had cracks in the ceiling and it was dangerous. We really enjoyed finding facts about the cathedral.

Do you know anything about the Cathedral?

Check out our slides below to see the drawings of the cathedral.

John the Baptist

Kia Ora,

in Room 8 we have been learning about who John the Baptist was and what his mission was. We learned that he was the last Prophet before Jesus and that he baptised people.

Be Reliable

We are learning about the virtue of reliable. If you are reliable, you are trustworthy. Being reliable is keeping your promises. In our class we had to trust people to guide us around the classroom when we closed our eyes. We had to be reliableby sticking by our friends.

How are you reliable in your life?

Room 8's cartoon strips

We are learning about the ascension of Jesus. After Jesus was resurrected he taught the disciples about God's kingdom, then after 40 days he ascended into Heaven to be with God.

Here are some comics that Room 8 students drew to explain what happened at the ascension of Jesus.
