Religious Education Term 4 Week 9 - 2021
WHOLE SCHOOL FOCUS The Whole school focus theme for this year is:
‘We Are Bee-Attitude Keepers”
2nd Sunday in Advent 5 December 2021 - Year C
“All people shall see the salvation of God.”
Something to Think About
In today’s story, John tells the people to “Turn back to God!” What do you think this might mean?
The Story
John the Baptist told all the people that they should start leading good lives and be baptised. He told them that Jesus was coming and that they should get their hearts ready.
Reflecting on the Gospel
Imagine you are a prophet with big eyes, big ears and a big mouth. In your imagination can you see anything in our world that God might want someone to change? Mention people who have no homes, no food, and no jobs. How would God would want us to help these people?
Group Activity
SPREAD THE WORD!
You will need: a piece of construction paper for each child, markers or stickers for decoration, sticky-tape, scissors.
John the Baptist spread the word about Jesus. He needed to shout loudly in the desert because there were no microphones, or televisions or radios to get his message out.
This week make your own trumpeting horn to help you tell others that Jesus is coming soon!
- Take a piece of A4 construction paper and roll it into the corner to make a cone shape.
- Use sticky-tape to fix the horn in place.
- Trim the extra paper from the bottom.
- Decorate your horn and use it to proclaim, “Get ready for Jesus!”

At Mother Teresa School we recognise the wonderful work that St Vincent de Paul does in providing vital and ongoing support to people in need. As part of the Holy Spirit Parish we
support this appeal annually as an important link to help those in need in our local community. The Christmas Appeal also provides a tangible way for children to be involved in helping others; and to see that Christmas is not just a time for receiving, but a time for reaching out and giving too! Your child’s item is: (Highlighted on their slip)
Please ensure that your items have not passed the used by date and are non-perishable.
