They celebrated Mary by offering flowers and speaking about kindness, love and care. ### Learning Through Prayer and Play The children enjoyed: - Dressing the worship area - Making colourful paper flowers - Exploring the **rosary beads** These hands‑on activities helped bring faith learning to life in a meaningful and age‑appropriate way. ### Thank You to Our Families A sincere **thank you to our families** for always supporting events like this and sharing in these special moments with the children. Your involvement plays an important role in nurturing faith at **St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School**.
