It was very impressive to see that 27/28 students brought their homework in on Friday - what fantastic commitment to your learning, 2 Navy! This term we also have the Library Bag Challenge, we score a point for every student who brings in their library bag on Thursdays, so please remember to pack it each week! :)

Last week we began the very important time in the Catholic calendar known as Lent. This is the 40 day lead up to Easter, during which we make a conscious effort to turn back to God and try to make ourselves grow into better people in readiness for the Easter celebration. Our school makes a wonderful effort each year to contribute money to Caritas to help others less fortunate than us. In 2 Navy, we have a crown of thorns on our prayer table which reminds us of the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on Good Friday. Each time a student makes a donation into our Caritas box, he or she removes a thorn (toothpick) from our crown of thorns because the personal sacrifice of giving up of money for others links with the sacrifice that Jesus gave up himself for us. The student also then adds a link to our "Chain of Love" to remember that our giving is done with love and free will. At the end of each week we will measure and tweet how long our Chain of Love is growing!

Have a wonderful week! :)
