Virtues: Learned and Wise

 Learned means to find God in all things. Year 1 will be discussing how they can find God across the curriculum. We will be learning about how God has given people the skills and talents to benefit others. The children will be reflecting on how they can be wise to share their gifts and talents from God for the common good.

Catholic Social Teaching: Dignity of Work

Year 1 will be learning about different job roles within society and how we can work to better God's creation. All jobs and workers should be treated with respect and equally valued.                                      

Our Class saint is St Bernadette. 

Our Lady appeared to  St Bernadette in Lourdes 18 times!

Our Lady asked St Bernadette to drink from the dirty water in the stream. St Bernadette did so without questioning and the next day came back to find the water was clean. It was later found that the water had miraculous healing powers making Lourdes a place of pilgrimage for many people.  

Our Lady told St Bernadette that she wanted a chapel to be built in Lourdes. St Bernadette was strong to her faith even when others questioned her. Due to her love for God and loyalty to her faith she convinced others to build the chapel which is now visited by millions of people each year. 

We are going to use Bernadette example for us this year.
