STEM WEEK – UPDATE FOR FRIDAY 12 JUNE 2020 – St. Barbara's Primary School

Good morning boys and girls ,

I hope you are all up, have had breakfast and are ready to continue with your weekly activities.

R.E.

Close your eyes, join your hands and let us begin the day with our morning prayer.

God our Father

As we prepare to begin our work

We ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts you have given us

So that we may fully benefit from our day together.

During the month of May we honoured Our Lady. We created a special altar, said decades of the rosary and completed lots of different activities that reminded us how important Our Lady is.

The month of June is the month of The Sacred Heart of Jesus. The heart is seen as the essence of a person. Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is devotion to Jesus Christ Himself. Next week (19^th June) we will celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, this always takes place 19 days after Pentecost.

Throughout the Gospel, we experience the outpouring of Jesus’ love from His heart. We experience this love from the miracle stories, His forgiveness of sinners and His compassion for those who are suffering. Kind and caring are two words that come to mind when I think of Jesus, can you think of more words that can be used to describe Him?

Look closely at the image of The Sacred Heart of Jesus. What do you notice about His heart? Why do you think this is? What does it symbolise? Think of the things that happened in Jesus’ life to help you understand why Jesus’ heart is shown like this.

Do you have an image of The Sacred Heart of Jesus in your home?

Task 1

Use the image of The Sacred Heart that has been included or find an image from the internet and use it as a stimulus to create your own picture of The Sacred Heart of Jesus. When you have finished your drawing, display it proudly in your home. This can be a special place for you to pray to The Sacred Heart of Jesus over the course of this month.
I have also attached an image of The Sacred Heart of Jesus that you can choose to colour if drawing the image is too tricky.

We say a special devotion to The Sacred Heart of Jesus. Try saying this special prayer every day during the rest of June.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee.

Task 2

Get a piece of paper, fold it in half and cut half a heart shape. Younger pupils may need some help from an adult for this. When it is open a full heart shape will be visible. Decorate the paper and then stick it on top of another sheet of paper. You should then have a blank heart shape on your paper. Write the special devotion to The Sacred Heart of Jesus in the centre of your heart.

Decorate this and email it to your teacher or, with permission, upload it onto TWITTER.
