Lent - Praying the Rosary

During Lent, we have been praying the Rosary.

Lent prayer bags

To help us on our Lenten journey the children will be given the opportunity to take home prayer bags.

Two children in each class (Year 1 - Year 6) will bring home a purple bag containing a prayer card, cloth, candle, some small shells, stones, a piece of sandpaper and a cross. We ask that a 'prayer area' be set up and as a family pray together. Each child will have the bag overnight. Please ensure it is brought back into school the next morning so as to enable each child to have a turn.
