Our Catholic social teachings for this half term are families and communities.
This helps us to remember that we are all in God's family and to live our lives with Jesus' loving arms around us. We can do this be considering the way we treat others within our school and the wider community.
Our virtues are faith-filled and hopeful.
Faith is so important because it gives us the strength to follow and trust in God. We can strengthen our faith through prayer, helping others and living our lives using Jesus as our role model.
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.
