Let me know if you need anything.

9:00 - 9:30 - Phonics - Contractions

 

Look at the PowerPoint. Use this to learn more about contractions. Contraction means to squash together; the apostrophe shows where the letter(s) would be. To form a contraction, cross out a letter and turn it into an apostrophe. Look at how to squash ‘not’, ‘is’ and ‘has’.

 

Watch the flash cards video.

 

Write the list of the contracted words.

 

Write sentences that use the contracted words.

Learning Objective: To know the words the parish family pray during the Eucharistic Prayer.

During the Eucharistic Prayer the parish family acclaims the greatness of God using words found in scripture, “Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God...”  This is a song of thanks and praise.

Let us think for a moment what God is like.  God is all powerful, good and true.  This makes us feel grateful and joyful.  Then, like the saints and the angels in heaven, we will want to praise and thank God and will sing/say the “Holy, holy, holy” enthusiastically. 

 

So, we all sing (say) together:

 

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of hosts,

heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,

Hosanna in the highest.

 

The Eucharistic Prayer ends with words of Faith in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

 

The priest sings/says

 

“Through him, and with him, and in him,

O God, almighty Father,

In the unity of the Holy Spirit,

All glory and honour is yours,

For ever and ever.”

 

The people sing/say “Amen.”

‘Amen’ is a Hebrew word.  It means ‘Let it be so’, ‘We agree’.

 

The Holy, holy is based on the praise of the Seraphim found in Isaiah 6:3 and other scripture.   

 

God of Hosts means God of all the angels in heaven.

 

SOME KEY QUESTIONS

 

1. Why do we praise God?
2. Why do we thank God?
3. Why do you think we say ‘Holy’ three times?
4. What do you think ‘God of hosts’ means?
5. What does the word ‘Amen’ mean?

 

Activity:

Draw or paint images of Heaven and Earth full of God’s glory.   Write labels on your painting giving reasons for your choice of images.
