Lent
During this very important time in the Church year, we start with a ‘Go Purple’ day and an Ash Wednesday service in Church and then we will be taking part in lots of activities in and out of school. For the five Fridays leading up to Holy Week, each class will take part in a ‘Lenterprise’ activity. This is a mini-enterprise project designed and marketed by children in each class, resulting in an item that will be on sale to other children at break times. We will send a reminder out nearer the time for children to bring in money, should they wish to purchase items – in the past this has been toast, fruit kebabs or items children have created themselves. We often host a Lenten workshop to other Catholic schools in the district planned and hosted by our GIFT team. There will also be the opportunity for all of our children to take part in a special Lent Quest each Friday lunchtime which will be led by the GIFT team, as well as home Worship. There will be many more things happening in classes as well as we work our way through Lent.
Below are some of the activities we enjoyed during previous Lents over the years...
'Lenten Workshop' - Our GIFT Team planned and led a whole afternoon for our friends from ten different primary and secondary schools from District 11. The theme for the afternoon was the 'Coins for CAFOD' initiative. Events included a meditational Worship, decorating a 6 foot cross where each school designed a part to link with our theme for the day, a GIFT team led Worship and a quiz hosted by the Knights of St. Columba.
