Term 3

Marcellin House Project

﻿   

Term 2

In Term 2 we will be discussing the meanings of signs, symbols and rituals - both Religious and everyday examples. Family rituals, community rituals, national rituals and Church rituals. Students will also discuss Pentecost and the importance of it, both, for the early Church and for us today. Through this a link to the Holy Spirit will be made and students will consider how the Holy Spirit was present in the lives of Saints and still present in the lives of all of us today. What evidence of the Holy Spirit do we see in our world ?



This term Year 6 will also be looking at "Made in the Image of God", this is where we look at the Being Sexual Strand of the program. Attached is a copy of the letter that was sent home. Please have another look at this letter, as questions may arise from your sons as the topic progresses. Once again any questions you may have please either contact Ms Jennifer Callanan or Mrs Alison Ronoastro.

Term 1

This term we have started by getting to know each, through the topic "All About Me". The boys are making either a PowerPoint or a Photostory about themselves, and are including things such as hobbies, favourite colour, food, family members and pets. Depending on their level of understanding they are also able to add music to their presentations as well.



Once we have finished with this topic we will be starting on "Lent", which will lead us to "Holy Week and Easter". All of the Year 6 classes will have their class masses this term, and parents and grandparents are welcome to attend. An invitation will be sent home inviting you to attend the class mass, normally the week before. The dates for these masses are writtem below and are also published in the Newsletter. Please check the dates in the Newsletter as they can change due to unforeseen circumstances.
