Year 7 Purple - Religion
Ashton Judge: In Term 4, class 7 Purple have been learning how to be stewards of creation and what it means. Miss Brown decided that it would be best for 7 Purple to have a hands-on task that allows us to know the true meaning behind a steward of creation. Each member of 7 Purple was given a sunflower to take home and care for, the students will then know what being a steward of creation means.
Aleksandar Macey: In our Religion class, we have learnt how our dignity works and what the point of it is. The benefits are that people will like you when you do good things. We also learnt about the popes, and we grew a plant to show how we care for our plants.
Corey Mullins: We planted the seeds as we have been learning about being stewards of creation. In class on Monday class 7 Purple planted seeds and were asked to care for it and water it because when we take care of the plants we are being stewards of God’s creation. Even though it may be something little by planting seeds, in the future it will help the earth be a better place.
