Every morning in 5M we start the day with meditation and we take the time to offer prayers to God. In the clip below you can see some of our prayers that we offer up to God.
Earlier this term, 5M were learning about the different types of prayer - prayers of petition (when you ask God for something), prayers of sorrow (when you say sorry to God for something), and prayers of praise (when you praise God for the blessings he has bestowed upon us). Every morning in 5M we start the day with meditation and we take the time to offer prayers to God. In the clip below you can see some of our prayers that we offer up to God.

Today, we were lucky enough to have Giulia and Claudia (two of our Praying Mantises) to lead us in our daily meditation. The girls spent some time putting a lot of thought and consideration into creating this PowerPoint, and leading the meditation. Well done girls! It was lovely to see you taking the initiative to do something so lovely for your classmates! Thank you. During Lent, we hung out with our Prep Buddies to help them make a stained glass window of the Cross. It was a great chance for us to get to know each other and work cooperatively. Check out our iMovie Trailer...
LEARNING ABOUT THE SEVEN GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DURING LENTThere are seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit and during Lent, we focus on one gift each week. In Grade 5M, we have been reading the Lectio Divina book each week, learning about each of the Gifts and and creatively sharing our learning about each of the Gifts. ASH WEDNESDAY - Wisdom: This Gift allows us to see that sometimes we may need to endure hardships in order to appreciate the good things in life, according to God's loving plan for us all. WEEK ONE - Understanding: This Gift helps us to interpret God's will in the daily events of our lives. WEEK TWO - Right Judgement: This gift helps us to make good choices in light of how Christ lived, and helps us to avoid poor decisions. Keily and Hayden each created fantastic PowerPoint presentations which highlight the important messages about the Gift of Right Judgement...
WEEK THREE- Courage: This Gift helps us see where our real strenghts lie, because sometimes we might become shy or have fears that can hold us back from fulfilling our potential. With Courage, we receive extra strength from God to overcome difficulties. The following PowerPoint Presentations and images were created by Lucas, Maddison, Hayden, Richelle, Natalie, Julia, Daniel and Paolo... Courage Mindmap, created by Lucas M using Inspiration 9

Not so long ago, we read the creation story from the Book of Genesis in the Bible. As we read, we focused on visualising what was happening in the text. We then viewed and critically discussed some artwork by artists from a vast range of eras and techniques. In our discussions, we shared the different elements of the creation story that the artists portrayed in their work, and we discussed the techniques they used to convey their message through art. We then created our own pieces of art, based on what we had visualised while reading the creation story. We drew inspiration from some of the artwork we had viewed too. Below is a film which contains each piece of art created by the members of our class, and if you listen carefully while you view the art, you will hear us giving our own artistic explanation of what we have drawn, why we have drawn it, and what artistic techniques we used. We hope you enjoy viewing it!
The grade six students at our school perform the Passion of Our Lord at the Good Friday Mass every year. Here, you can watch the performance from Good Friday, 2012. We hope you enjoy it! Please let us know what you think. (Apologies…our background music has been removed, due to copyrighting laws) Well done grade sixes. You put on a very heart-felt and moving performance. Thank you to the grade five students for the research that went in to making this movie. And congratulations to Mrs Park for directing the Passion Play once again. It just gets better and better each year! |
