Care for our Common Home- Laudete Si

This month, Pope Francis called us to recognise the wonder of the magnificent world that God has created- the people, animals, plants, the solar system etc. We watched this short video- which explained it in child friendly terms and we worked hard to create a beautiful display in our classroom that reflects all that is good about our world.

This is our year to SHINE!

We won’t be shy, we’ll give it a try and we’ll remember the words of our class anthem as we “try everything.”

We are back….

We’ve been settling in, taking our time to become familiar with our friends and enjoying time outdoors.
