Listening to God's word

In our RE lessons this term we have been learning how people listen to God's word and calling. Today we went to our Parish Church of Sacred Heart and Holy Souls in Acocks Green to celebrate Mass with the local community.

After Mass we spoke about the special place that the lectern has upon the altar. It is the place that we hear God's word from and the place where we can hear God calling us. Can you find the lectern upon this photo of the Altar of Holy Souls Church.

Holy Souls Card Company

Today in school we created our own company. We have decided to create our own Sacrament celebration cards for the Sacrament of Holy Communion and Confirmation.
We thought about some interesting names for our company such as:
Year 3 are creative from Alex
Year 3 Holy Souls from Phaneendra.
Year 3 Artists from Ben
Year 3 Arts and Crafts from Sean
Year 3 Community from George
Year 3 Crafts from Declan
Year 3 Craft Making Cards from Campbell
Holy Souls Card Company from Ella
Creative Year 3 from Kurtis
Year 3 Art Club from Tyreena and Niall.
Holy Cards from Connie
Year 3 Card Makers from Sadie

We voted for our favourite name for our company. The winner and name for our card making company is Holy Souls Card Company.


We also discussed and talked about what jobs we need to allocate to make this card company successful. We spoke about the roles of manager, artist and designer, idea collector, advertising executive, vendors, accountant("money maker" said Niall)

Understanding what happens at Mass

In our RE lessons we have been talking about the Liturgy of the word. We know that the first reading at Mass always comes from the Old Testament. We discussed the story of Noah's Ark and the promise God made. This video re-tells the story, VERY QUICKLY!
