My Fatima experience

Learning goal-We are writing a recount about our experience with the Lady of Fatima statue and Liturgy.

Meet the mother Mary

I was very excited to see the statue and the sisters. The sisters were all wearing a dark blue and the statue was wearing white.

As we were saying the rosary my voice got tired and I lost my breath I couldn't talk or say the prayers as much because the prayers were so long!

When I came up close to see Mother Mary I thought she was beautiful. Her cheeks were as pink as a rose, her crown was as bright as the sun and her clothing as white as a dove.

I think that Mother Mary looks real because her skin looks very smooth.

At the end each class took a photo with the statue with our rosaries and prayer cards That was my favourite part of the visit.

That was a very fun experience meeting they Fatima statue, I hope I get to see her soon.

S.L.J Day 3 Activity 1

On your blog, please tell us how you would feel. Would you enjoy being a member of such a large family? Why or why not?

I would like not like to have nine siblings because, they might be annoying you, running around the house and making messes. If my family are about to have dinner and I get asked to tell all my siblings to come to the table, I think it would be a big job because, you have to tell them to stop whatever they are doing and try get them to the dinner table. That is my I would not like to have nine siblings.
