Click on the picture to see a larger image of this Wordle (word cloud). The larger the word, the more it was mentioned on the wiki page giving an outline of the life of St Francis of Assisi. What can you deduce (work out) about St Francis from this Wordle?
Homework is due on Monday 30 June.
This week there is a treasure hunt competition. You will receive the handout in class, and you will need to find out a number of facts. Write as many answers as you can on the worksheet, then return on Monday. There will a prize to the person in the class who finds the most correct answers!
1. Where can you find the body of St Thomas More today?
2. Where is his head said to be?
3. Tell someone at home one fact about St Bernadette. Ask them to write it down and sign below:
4. Find someone in school who has visited either Lourdes, Siena or Assisi.
5. State one thing of which St Catherine of Siena is the patron saint.
6. Write down one story related to St Francis of Assisi.
If for any reason I do not give you any homework during this final term, then please keep up your research of the saints that we are studying in class. It would also be interesting to find out if you have been named after a saint, or if you were given a saint’s name at your baptism.
Some of the saints you could study are:
St Bernadette
St Catherine of Siena
St Francis of Assisi
St Francis de Sales
St Rita
St Cecilia
Have fun, and I look forward to learning what you have learnt!
Homework due on Monday 16 June.
People often use prayer cards to help them pray. These often feature a brief biography of a saint, and a prayer that is inspired by that saint. Many cards have a picture of the saint on one side, and the prayer on the other. Make a prayer card for your House Saint.
