During Term 2 our Year 7 students completed a unit focusing on Prayer. Students reflected upon their own relationship with God, investigated the structure of the Mass, gained an insight into Angels & Saints and looked at various ways of how to pray. Student work was completed during class and during the short period of remote learning. Well done to all Year 7 students on their Prayer unit.

Student reflection:

“This term, our Religious Education unit was on Prayer. We learnt about various topics on prayer some included different prayers, the Rosary, Saints and the Mass. When learning about different prayers we studied the types of prayers, like vocal and mental prayers. We also studied the different prayers like the ‘Our Father’ and the ‘Rosary’

We went into depth with the Rosary, and we completed many activities on the Rosary. 

We also learnt about angels and Saints, and we created a prayer card on a particular saint, I chose St Mary Mackillop. We also went in depth with reading scripture passages, and we had to create a little poster with a scripture passage on it.

One of the last topics we learnt about, was the mass and Eucharistic miracles, which was my favourite topic. We were given the chance, to research about Eucharistic miracles and I was very interested in a few cases where a miracle happened.

I really enjoyed the unit of prayer, and I found this unit very interesting and enjoyable.”
