 * 2011: **

This term our topic is The Communion of Saints. It ties in really well with the DARE programme because in both topics we are talking about our conscience and how precious a gift from God our lives are and that we have a duty to protect and value such a special gift. The other aspect of Communion of Saints is the Golden Rule; respect for ourselves and for others. ** Term 1 When we were at St Teresas we studied the Jesus strand, we thought up different names for Jesus, and thought about how we can live our lives as Jesus did. Also this year Father Carl sadly went to Aukland and we now have a new priest; Father Bernard Carney who is very kind and thoughtful. __**//Naomi Cole//**__

**Term 2** **This term we have been studying the images of the Holy Spirit from the Old and New Testaments. There are all different kinds of images such as fire, water, earth, air, dove, mother, father, bush e.t.c... we have thoroughly enjoyed learning about this strand and all the things the Holy Spirit has done for us through time and testaments.** **//__Alice Sparks__//**


 * 2010 **
 * Term 3 **
 *  This term we have been talking about the immortality of our souls and how we should look after them while we live on earth. You care for your soul like you look after a garden. Last week we had a Prayer Ritual and in groups we did role plays illustrating different ways we can nourish and nurture our souls so that we are ready to meet Jesus when we die. **

Tern 2 This term in R.E. we have been learning about Te Wairua Tapu ( the Holy Spirit) and how it continually renews The Church and helps us grow in Faith. We illustrated this in Room 5 by planting seeds in greenhouses that we had made in Science. We hope to be able to watch these seeds grow into strong plants with deep roots. We are aware that the Holy spirit has planted the seeds of our spirituality in our hearts and that our Catholic faith continues to become stronger and deeper.
