Poem - Don't Be A Bully

Don't be a bully. It will make you cry.
I was once bullied. It was not fun
Bullies are mean and, if you are a bully, you are not kind
If you are a bully, you will not have good friends
Don't be a bully. Bullies are losers so don't be a bully!
Bullies are mean so don't be a bully
Bullies are losers. 
Kind people are lovely so be kind
Bullies will hurt you and make you cry
I was bullied. Bullies made me cry
I hate bullies.

Easter

Today is Easter. 

When I woke up, I was very excited. Emily said, "Look! We have big Easter eggs on our comfy beds. 

We woke up Olivia and Dad. We walked  outside in our colourful warm pyjamas to look for Easter Eggs. 

I said, "I can't find some Easter eggs out here," so we looked inside. Mum helped look. Emily found some on the brown table. We put one in our big Easter Eggs bucket then we looked for some more. Emily, Olivia and I found more. 

"What kind?" said Emily. 

"Marshmallow."

"Cool," said Olivia. 

We ran to look for more. I found some more marshmallow. We ran inside to eat up our yummy Easter Eggs.

Holy Thursday Liturgy

It was now the time of Passover. Jesus’ followers came to Him and said, “We will go and prepare everything for the Passover Feast. Where do you want to eat the feast?” Jesus answered, “Go into the city. A man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. He will go into a house. Tell the owner of the house, “The teacher wants you to prepare the room for the Passover meal.” So the followers left and went into the city and prepared the Passover Feast.

In the evening, Jesus went to that house with the twelve. While they were eating, Jesus took the bread and gave God thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and eat it; this is my body which will be given up for you.”





  
When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave God thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and drink from it; this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.”

After some time, Jesus got up from the table and went to a different part of the room.  He put a large towel around him, making himself look like a servant.  After that, he poured water into a large bowl and began to wash the disciples' feet.  He then dried them with the towel that was wrapped around Him.
 

When Jesus had finished washing all of the disciples’ feet, he returned to the table.  "Do you understand what I have done for you?"  Jesus asked them.
Jesus is like a King - but even greater than a king, He's the King of Kings!  By washing the disciples’ feet, He was doing something that only a servant would do.
This is an example of how you should treat others.  You don't have to actually wash other people's feet, but do kind things to others and act like a servant for Jesus.
