Distance between the planets
We placed the planets in order from the sun. The hard part was thinking about the distance from each other and if they were evenly spaced. If not, we had to consider and research if any planets were closer to each other and by how much. Great maths and thinking about scale!

Holy Spirit strand
Sometimes we don't always get on with everyone all of the time. We have been thinking about "What Would Jesus Do" and how the Holy Spirit can help us heal ourselves and others.

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?
