Religious Education 

In 5/6MG we have been discussing the season of  Lent, the weeks before Easter. 

It is a time for our thoughtful preparation  before Easter.

During Lent we are asked to pray, give to charities and fast.

We have made a list of things we can do during this time to make a difference.

We will give up some of the things that we do for pleasure, help other people in need around the school and at home, and try to say reflective prayers every evening before bed and when we wake in the morning.

Here are some of our pledges & photos of us sharing them.

FASTING - “I will cut down on my screen time by an hour a night & spend more time with my family.” (Estelle)

“I will reduce television time by 45 minutes each day so I am outside more playing basketball." (James S)

“I pledge to pack up after myself and try to put things back where they belong after I use them."  (Abi)

ALMSGIVING - “I am going to give a little of my money to project compassion and also do some extra things around the house.” (Paris)

“I am going to give $3 to Project Compassion and cook dinner once a week to help my parents." (Melina)

“I pledge to help my mum and dad to chores such as sweeping the floor and washing the dishes each night, to help them." (Prytha)
