Mini Vinnies News
The Mini Vinnies leaders were very excited to receive their badges last week! On Monday morning, Mary from St. Vincent De Paul spoke to the children about the works of St. Vincent De Paul and the wonderful things they do for our local community. She commended our Mini Vinnies team for the wonderful efforts they made raising funds for St. Jospeh’s, Wingham. Mary was very proud of them all!
At assembly on Friday, our leaders announced the plans for our Winter Appeal. A roar of excitement erupted upon the announcement of a PAJAMA DAY to be held early next term! We will also have a meal deal available for pre-order. Details and order form coming home next Tuesday.
The Ten Commandments
Last Sunday, in our first reading, we heard of the very special event of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments at the top of Mt Sinai. The Ten Commandments are a set of rules that God wants all people to live by. Take a moment to reflect on these commandments.
Which do you find easy to follow?
Are any of these challenging to you?
Do you feel the ten commandments have significance in your daily life?
The Ten Commandments might sound like a lot to remember and might seem quite difficult to stick to at times, but all ten can be summed up very simply;
Always show love and respect to God, and always show love and respect to others.
Showing love and respect to one another is something that is part everyday life at St. Kevin’s. In our classrooms and on the playground, we discuss what it looks like, sounds like and feels like to show respect to others. We also discuss what it feels like to receive respect from others.
Our teachers and support staff speak and act with love at all times. We model the love of Jesus to your children through our actions and our words. We nurture friendships and support the children in showing love to one another in the classroom and on the playground. As a school, we show the wider community the love and respect of Jesus through our support of those in need.

What are we learning in Religion?
Each newsletter, we will showcase a class and give you a little insight as to what they are learning about during Religion lessons. This week we hear from…
Year 1!
Year one are learning about the Hebrew Scriptures. Our favourite stores so far have been The Creation Story and Noah’s Ark. The Hebrew Scriptures show us how God was present in the lives of people many, many years ago. The rainbow in Noah’s Ark reminds us that God always keeps his promises! We hope you love our artworks as much as we do!
