Thank you letter to Summer

In class we have been writing 'Thank You' letters to the parents who came on camp with us in Week 5. This is my letter to Summer, Grace's mother who was my group leader. I have printed this and sent it to her as well.

Please enjoy and remember to leave a comment.

Dear Summer,

Thank you for all the fun times we had together, especially kayaking. It was hilarious when you fell of during the piano game! It was great how you took your time off to help us with the activities and spend time with us. I really appreciate how you woke up early to make us breakfast. The spaghetti bolognese was my favourite! I also loved how you helped us cook and prepare our food. We all had a amazing time doing the activities.

Suzanne Aubert

WALT: learn more about Suzanne Aubert.

Why are we learning about her?

Because we are going to Wellington for the day on Thursday, November 29th and will visit the Home of Compassion where Suzanne Aubert started her mission in Wellington.

Why is Suzanne Aubert going to be a saint?

Because of all the people she helped and the organisations that she set up. She saved a lot of people because of the medicine she helped grow and provide. She has to have formal recognition of two miracles, the result of her intercession before God on behalf of people who have asked her for help.

The Rosary

WALT: Understand more about the Rosary

October is the Month of Mary and so as we are a Catholic School we have been praying the Rosary in our school. You may not have heard of the Rosary or know much about it, this blog post will hopefully inform you about the Rosary.

Who created it?

The Rosary was given to St. Dominic in a vision of blessed Virgin Mary.

When did it start?

Less than clear and subject to debate among scholars. The use of knotted prayer ropes in Christianity goes back to the 3rd and early 4th century.

Where did it originate?

The history is vast but prayer bead are believed to have originated in India in 8th Century BC.

Why did it originate?

In the Middle Ages people started praying the Our Father and the Hail Mary with prayer beads. The practice of meditation during prayers of the Hail Mary was attributed to Dominic of Prussia.

What do the Rosary Beads mean?

The beads count the prayers as they are said aloud or in the mind. There are 50 beads, with 5 decades (see beside).

The Mysteries

There are twenty mysteries in the Rosary. They are split into 4 groups of five: The Joyful Mysteries (on Monday and Saturday), Luminous Mysteries (Thursday), Sorrowful Mysteries (Tuesday and Friday) and Glorious Mysteries (Wednesday and Sunday). However, in our class we only pray on mystery a day and only do a decade, otherwise it would take us 35 minutes or more to pray.
