Advent
December 8th, 2011 by Mr O'ReillyAdvent is the time when we prepare for Christmas. We are preparing for Christmas in many ways in school. We are having prayer services to count down the weeks in Advent. We are using an Advent Wreath, and each week another candle is lit. We also had a very special prayer service in honour of Mary, Mother of God, on the 8th of December.

You should be good to other people.
Don’t laugh at other people.
Respect people’s ideas
Respect people’s property.
Never hurt another person.
If someone hurts you speak up. You can tell your mum or dad. You can tell a teacher or SNA. You can tell your best friend to tell a teacher or SNA. by R, J, A and L
