Holy Week
This week is a very special week for us. It is Holy Week. We are walking with Jesus and reflecting on his final week before he was crucified. We have researched the order and meaning of the events from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday and where they occured in the old city of Jerusalem. We have also reflected on the Stations of the Cross which occurred on Good Friday. We thought about who we would be if we were in the crowd that followed Jesus in his passion. Am I Simon who was forced to go to Jesus? Am I Veronica whose love was so strong that she risked her safety to help Jesus? Am I am in the crowd as a believer or a doubter? Am I Simon Peter who believed but then denied?
End of Term 1 Community
The end of Term 1 has arrived already. We have had a busy term with a focus on our value respect and community. At the end to our topic of inquiry the students were asked to research and share a presentation on a community they are part of outside of our class and school. It has been really exciting to see a part of the student lives outside school.
Here is one example of a community that Salem belongs to outside school
