The Year of Faith?

The Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI announced that the Catholic Church will celebrate a Year of Faith from 11 October 2012 - 24 November 2013.

Assembly in November

This hymn is for our class assembly in November. It is based on a special prayer associated with St.Fracis of Assisi.

verse 1

Make me a channel of peace:
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love,
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,

And where there's doubt true faith in you.



verse 2

Make me a channel of peace:

Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope,

Where there is darkness, only light,

And where there's sadness, ever joy.

Chorus

O Master, grant that I may never seek,

So much to be consoled as to console;

To be understood to understand,

To be loved, as to love with all my soul!

verse 3

Make me a channel of your peace:

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

In giving of ourselves that we recieve,

And in dying that we are born to eternal life.

ANCIENT GREECE

This term we are studying Ancient Greece. We are very excited about this topic because our country  hosted the Olympic games this year and Greece is where they were held in ancient times.

To start our work on Ancient Greece we want to compare Greece today with Ancient Greece.

P.E

On Wednesday afternoons Year 5 and Year 6 go to Archibishop Ilsley for P.E. We are very lucky to go to the school to use their facilities.

There were different coaches  to teach us different activities, such as:

• Football
• Handball
• Tennis
• Gymnastics
• Running
• Rounders
• Netball

I really enjoyed the first part with Mr Hooper, he was teaching us to throw properly. I stayed for an extra hour and did football.

I enjoyed my P.E lesson at Archibishop Ilsley and I did gymnastics and saw some friends.  I did standing long jump and made a routine with jumps and rolls. I did not stay for an extra hour because I had football club with Mr. Morris.
