Exemplar narrative 2:
St. Aidan's Cluster meeting P5 group
- Gospel Readings - Bible to locate Mark's readings - Mark's references (research)
- Groups to illustrate message (Art)
- Short summary/report back (possible Co-op learning).
- Good role models of faith (Homework challenge, personal research). Alive-O has examples of this.
- Assign each class group a saint (Homework - feedback to others)
-Photoframe/powerpoint (St. Bernadatte etc).
-Visitors from various charities etc (SVDP, SCIAF ), also Priests/Nuns.
-Lenten charities/missionaries. Let the Children live.
(Editor note: this very good group of activities could perhaps be compemented by a little more research about religious life, some witness of married life, and some discussion of how the example of others challenges us to reflect on our own calling)
