Miss Kaur (Class Teacher) and Mrs Craddock (LSA)
Our Class Saint is Maximilian Kolbe
Maximilian Kolbe was born in Poland in 1894, who had a devotion to Our Lady. He became Franciscan priest and during WW11, he was arrested by the Nazis and sent to a concentration camp. Maximilian died in Auschwitz because he wanted to save another prisoner.
How can we be like Saint Maximilian?
We think about St Maximilian Kolbe and how he was a missionary. He travelled the world and informed people of the life of Mary and Jesus. St Maximilian Kolbe formed the Knight of the Immaculata, which later developed a magazine. He used what he had learned about Mary to help others around him, which was a challenge for him considering that he was persecuted for his beliefs.
Our values and virtues for this half term are Compassionate and Loving
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13)
This half-term we will look at the values and virtues of what it means to live our lives as those who are compassionate and loving. We aim to instil a deeper understanding that being compassionate and loving means that we are living life considering those before ourselves. We look at those in particular who have been impacted within recent years by human action or natural circumstances and will look at how through prayer and supplication we can show our love and compassion, as well as taking practical action. We hope to help children understand that through their thoughts, prayers, words and actions, they are to impact positively on the lives of those who are less fortunate.
