We used the sorting hoops to place the animal pictures into the correct groups: mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and birds.

Baptism with Father Cosmas
We visited Father Cosmas at Our Lady of the Rosary church and he talked to us about baptism. We role-played the baptism of a child and some of us were the child's godparents.
