Some photos of our ‘Laudato Si’ display ‘in praise of God for creation’. This is in response to the Pope’s letter to the world asking us to protect our beautiful earth which God created for us all.

Take a look at our display for Fratelli Tutti ‘brothers and sisters all’ responding to the Pope’s letter to the world asking us to ‘love our neighbour’

This is our JESSE TREE. The Jesse Tree is an Advent tradition where we learn about the ancestors of Jesus from the Old Testament. Each day we learn about different characters such as Samuel, Noah and Moses. We put a symbol on the tree to remind us of their story. We do this all the way to Christmas when we will learn about the birth of baby Jesus at the end of the Jesse Tree.

The important people and the important guiding star from the Nativity Gospel have not arrived in Bethlehem yet, so to help the children understand the journey to Bethlehem our star, Mary and Joseph, Wise men and shepherd are placed around out hall. Every week in Advent they get CLOSER to the stable!

Here you can see our beautiful Christmas tree surrounded by our Jesse Tree and the almost empty Nativity stable (apart from the animals!) which won’t be empty by the time we reach Christmas……lots is still yet to happen in the nativity story!

This is our ADVENT tree. It’s decorated with the Advent promises of every child in our school! At this stage in Advent we are getting ready for the time when Jesus returns to the world. We have all made promises to be more like Jesus this Advent.
