WOW! Volcanoes and Earthquakes

We have been looking at the wanders of the centre of our planet.. We have learned that the planet Earth is made up of many layers, running thousands of miles below the Earth's crust.  Can you remember the names of the layers below us?

Our planet is an amazing place!  What are your thoughts?

One question that came up today was: 
'Why don't people in Australia fall off the bottom of our planet?  Do they walk upside down?'
Perhaps you could do some research to find out the answer...

Sunday is the Feast of Pentecost! We pray for Year 6 during their preparation for Confirmation

Изображение
This Sunday sees the end of 50 days of Easter, and welcomes the Feast of Pentecost - when the Holy Spirit entered the hearts of Jesus' disciples. We look forward to seeing you at mass to celebrate this Holy Day. When we return to school we will explore this most joyous moment.  For now, you may want to look at the video below to help you understand the event. The Holy Spirit fills us with the Fruits and Gifts we need to spread the Good News , as disciples of Jesus.  The video link below may help you to remember these - think about how you will use the Fruits of the Holy Spirit throughout your Journey. We continue to pray for Year 6 , as they prepare to receive the Holy Spirit, through the Sacrament of Confirmation.
