WEEK 9 - HOLY WEEK

Holy Week is the most important week of the Church’s year. It began yesterday with Palm Sunday.
Holy Thursday Liturgy
Stage 1 (Year 1 & 2) are leading a Holy Thursday liturgy on this Wednesday 27th March at 11:30am in the McCarthy Centre. On Holy Thursday we remember that Jesus washed his disciples’ feet as a sign that he came to serve people, not rule them. We also remember Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples – the first celebration of The Holy Eucharist. Many students have a special role in our liturgy and we hope that you can join us.
We would like some children to dress as an apostle. If this is possible, could you please send in an outfit on Wednesday? Ideas include an oversized T-Shirt tied around the middle with a belt, rope or tie, a tea towel laid over the head with a piece of rope, a tie or a headband to hold it in place. We do not need or expect you to go to any greater effort than this.
Thursday
As much as we love and appreciate parent helpers with reading, because Friday’s assembly is on Thursday morning we will not do reading with parents this Thursday. Also, due to the Good Friday Liturgy being on Thursday at 2:00pm, we will not be able to have our usual Art/Craft lesson. If we can set an alternative time in stone, we will post another blog for any keen parent helpers!
This Week’s Spelling Rule
When adding ing to a word with a short vowel followed by a single consonant, double the consonant before adding ing. (sit – sitting)
Homework
Homework Contract Books and Reading Logs are due on Thursday please.

What a big blog tonight!
