Friday...

Good afternoon,

Today we started off with Mass, which was really nice, then Father followed us back to talk about the Sacrament of Baptism.




Then we had a post test on...wait for it...the Sacrament of Baptism.

Thinking Thursday

Good afternoon,

This morning we had the opportunity to visit the A Team and their Science Fair and Cantamaths Expo.







This afternoon, Room 2 did some thinking of their own.

First about the symbols of baptism...




...then, after watching this...


...what is, and what is not, a sustainable practice.


The evidence of which is now hanging in the room.

And a thoughtful time was had by all.
