Stewardship in Y2
Today Y2 made bird feeders using recycled materials and hung them in our Spiritual Garden. We had spent time looking at Laudato Si, the letter which Pope Francis wrote asking everyone to look after God’s world, and thought about how we could be ‘good stewards’. Some children even made a bird feeder and home and brought it into school. We can’t wait to see the birds come and enjoy their food!

Y2 Celebration of the Word with families
This morning, Y2 children invited their families to celebrate the Word of God in our Spiritual Garden and thank God for the wonderful world He has created. We reflected on the message of Laudato Si where Pope Francis told us to live wisely, think deeply and love generously and each child shared their pledge with their families and gave them a flower to remind them of all God created.

A special visitor in Year 2
Today, Y2 were lucky enough to have one of our parishinors visit our classroom and share his family Bible. He shared the history of how his Bible was first given to his dad when he left school and is still now passed down through family members. The children explored the Testaments and listened to Ray read the story of Noah. What an inspiring afternoon for Y2!

Y2 learn about the Mexican tradition of ‘Las Posadas’
In Y2 we are learning about how people from other communities prepare during Advent. We have learnt about the 9 day tradition of ‘Las Posadas’ which takes place in Mexico. We know that they hold a procession singing carols in candlelight for 9 days ending on Christmas Eve in the church. At St. Jude’s we try to recreate this by sending home our own ‘travelling cribs’ to families during Advent.
