Mother Teresa- Putting her Faith into Action

Third year classes (St. Thereses and St. Marks) are currently doing a unit called 'Faith in Action'. Over the last week we have been learning about Mother Teresa and how her Catholic faith called her to work with the "poorest of the poor" in Calcutta. 

Play the video below to see the PowerPoint presentation we used to learn about a great woman's work.

Students retold the story of Mother Teresa's amazing life through words and pictures.

Rinalds hard at work! 

Why do we study RE?

First and second years started the year by discussing why we study RE in school. All classes came up with some great answers. 

For example: 

• We learn about God. 
• We learn about other cultures and traditions. 
• It helps us not to be prejudiced.
• We learn about other places and people in the world. 
• It helps us to understand others. 

Classes then explained to our confused alien, using comic strips or a short story, why it is that we have RE classes in school. Their work looks great up on the wall of D1.
