Next week is the start of July. Lots of schools and people around the world are taking part in plastic free July. This is where we will all try to use as little single use plastic as possible. For your homework you have a choice you could :
- Create a poster about the dangers of using single use plastics and encouraging people to find more sustainable options
- write about what you are going to do you might take photos of some of the things you do instead of using single use plastic ( for example a reusable water bottle and lunch box rather than single use sandwich bags)
- write a persuasive letter to a supermarket to ask them to give more plastic free options
- write a letter to the government about plastic free July and the importance of it
Some plastic free ideas you could write about are:
Using a reusable bottle rather than single use ones

Buying loose fruit and veg rather than in a packet
Using a shampoo bar rather than plastic bottle
Using bag for life when shopping rather than buying new ones

I will not sin again.
Amen
Confession
The priest will greet you and together you will say the sign of the cross.
Then you will say 'Bless me Father for I have sinned, this is my first confession, these are my sins' You will then confess your sins.
Now you will tell God through the priest that you are sorry for your sins. You say: 'For these and all my other sins which i cannot remember I am very sorry.'
The Priest will then ask you to say a prayer or do some good things to show that you are sorry.

We are children of the Living God
We are children who know God’s love.
We are children who walk in light
And we are beautiful in God’s sight.
- We heard the voice of Jesus say:
“I Love you I forgive.”
And when we listened carefully,
We learned how we should live.
Chorus
- We heard the voice of Jesus say:
“Don’t run away I’m here.
And when your heart is feeling sad
Just know that I am here.”
Chorus
- We heard the voice of Jesus say:
“I live inside your heart,
And in the heart of earth and starts,
So we will never be apart.”
Praise to you O Christ, our Saviour,
Praise to you O Christ, our Saviour,
Word of the Father, calling us to life:
Son of God who leads us to freedom
Glory to you lord Jesus Christ!
You are the word who calls us out of darkness:
You are the word that leads us into light
You are the word that brings us through the desert:
Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ
Praise to you O Christ, our Saviour,
Word of the Father, calling us to life:
Son of God who leads us to freedom
Glory to you lord Jesus Christ!
Freely, Freely.
God forgave my sin in Jesus’ name,
I’ve been born again in Jesus’ name;
And in Jesus’ name I come to you
To share His love as He told me to.
He said: ‘Freely, freely, you have received,
Freely, freely give;
Go in My name, and because you believe
Others will know that I live.’
All power is given in Jesus’ name,
In earth and heaven in Jesus’ name;
And in Jesus’ name I come to you
To share His power as He told me to.
He said: ‘Freely, freely, you have received,
Freely, freely give;
Go in My name, and because you believe
Others will know that I live.’
