Year 5 Sacramental Programme 8th November 2021

Date: 9th Nov 2021 @ 12:20pm

The children had another successful session in the church this week, once again they were thoughtful and respectful and showed enthusiasm throughout.

This week Father Michael asked the children about their names. He asked them to have a chat with their parents about why they have the name they have. Father Michael discussed that his family have a tradition of naming their children after a Saint that has their feast day in that month.  Father Michael was born in September and it is the feast of St Michael on 29th September. Have a chat with your child about how you chose their name, perhaps a family tradition, a family name or someone you admired. 

The children had a worksheet to complete in church. They also took part in treasure hunt this week looking at all the statues, memorials and paintings and learning about their significance. They also created an acrostic poem using their name and features/traits that they have.  Please have a look at the sheets that they brought home. There is an activity to complete together on the acrostic page and some discussions to have on the double page worksheet. 

We appreciate your time and support in helping your children understand the significance of the work they are completing as part of their Faith Journey.
