The Good Samaritan
The Good Samaritan
I am lying on the ground feeling nothing but pain as I have been robbed. I can taste the red liquid blood in my mouth and feel blood dripping from my head and I am feeling woozy. I see a priest walk past as if I wasn't there. I try to say help but nothing comes out of my mouth. I am shivering with worn clothes and I look up to the sky and see the clouds. I see another man pass me not bothering to help me. I close my eyes and then I feel someone's warm hands on me. I open my eyes. It is a Samaritan. I think to myself what is he going to do, stab me until i’m dead? No, he gives me water and takes me away on his donkey.by Caitlyn

Jesse Tree Week 4
Jesse Tree Week 4
Sunday: Mary
Ornament: White Lily
The Annunciation
This is about Mary becoming the Mother of Messiah, Jesus Christ. Mary was sixteen years old when God’s Messenger was sent to appear to Mary and tell her the good news. We can understand that Mary is our greatest Saint and she was the one that made it possible for us to find out what it was like to live with Jesus.
Monday: Elizabeth
Ornament: Mother and Child
Mary Visits Elizabeth
This prophecy tells us about Gabriel, the angel who came down to inform Mary that she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus Christ. Mother Mary went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who was also going to give birth to a baby boy. When Mary approached Elizabeth, she felt the Holy Spirit within her as the baby leaped in the womb. The visitation symbolized Elizabeth’s and Mary’s interaction with the Holy Spirit and with God the Father.

God gave and promised Zechariah that he would be blessed with a son. We could understand that God was true to his promises and this prophecy told us to prepare for the second coming of Jesus.

Joseph, Do Not Be Afraid
Joseph became the father of Jesus. Joseph was a role model to all who was not afraid to do what God promised. Joseph taught Jesus Carpentry for he was a carpenter. He taught him good manners and how to behave well. We could understand how kind and loving father, Joseph was to Jesus.

Ornament: Star or Candle

Evaluation
What did I learn?
I learned that when we went to the zoo and botanical gardens that some animals need help We need to preserve our resources like palm oil. Some animals are endangered we need to do something about it. At the zoo we learned heaps and a lot about the endangered animals and what we needs to do. We learned about planets and we went to the Planetarium. We did a lot of powerpoint presentation in all of our researches.
Why were you learning it?
I think that we went to the botanical gardens and the zoo so we can learn about animals and plants and so we can take care of them and sustain them here on earth.
