The Bible by Third and Fourth Class

Well done to our chosen authors who were selected this month to publish their writing!

Our Paragraphs about the Bible:

What is the Bible?

Hi, today I would like to share the word of God with you. The Bible is a holy book used at Christian mass. The Bible is not one book but a library of seventy three books. All the books are split into either the New or the Old Testament. The Old Testament sends the message that someone is coming (before Christ B.C.) Then the Old Testament tells people that our saviour has come. The Old Testament has forty six books and the New Testament has twenty seven books. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew because it was an agreement with the people of Israel. The New Testament was written in Greek because it was an agreement with all nations.

How is the Bible used during Mass? 

The Bible is used at mass. The priest uses the Bible to spread the word about Mary, Joseph, Jesus and God. The First Reading and the Psalm come from the Old Testament and the Second Reading and the Gospel comes from the New Testament. At Easter time the priest only talks about the New Testament.

What is the Bible and when is it used at Mass? 

The Bible is known as the sacred scriptures. The Bible is a very important book to the Christians, It is the book of the start of life on Earth and how Jesus sacrificed his own life to give us a better life. The Bible is divided into two parts. The Old Testament holds forty six stories and the New which has twenty seven stories. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament was written in Greek. 

The Bible is also used at mass. The Bible is used four times during mass. The First Reading and the Psalm are from the Old Testament and the Second Reading and Gospel are from the New Testament. The priest also reads the bible to spread the word of God.

Schools Long Ago in Ireland

Third and Fourth class recently explored the history of schooling in Ireland from early times to the twentieth century. We really enjoyed learning about all the different types of schools and seeing how different they were to our school today. We looked at education throughout different time periods; Pre-Christian and Christian Times Early Irish Monastic Schools Hedge School – 17 th  & 18 th  Century National Schools in the 19th Century We explored in detail School 100 Years Ago. Here is a summary of all we learned, through examining photographs, memoirs, artifacts, roll-books and school reports: Life in Irish Schools was very different 100 years ago. There were no computers, CD players, gel pens or markers. Many schools were small; often they had only one room.
