Calendar for the month

Dear Children,

Summer holidays are over. I really hope you had

fantastic holidays because you deserved after the

scholastic year.

Now we look forward to meet our friends at school and

at Catechism. I and your Catechists look forward to see

you once again on Wednesday 3rd October at 5.30pm.

We will start with Holy Mass. We pray that the Holy

Spirit will guide us to learn more about Jesus. After

mass your will meet your new Catechists in your

respective classrooms where you will also meet your

friends.

I am sure that you will enjoy the lessons that your

teachers have prepared for you throughout summer.

May Jesus bless you all.

Fr. Michael

Kiwi-Lime Ice Pops

INGREDIENTS

1 1/3 cups water 2/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon finely freshly grated lime zest 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1/3 cup lime juice 1 drop green food colouring, (optional) 2 kiwis, peeled and very thinly sliced

PREPARATION

1. Pour water into a small saucepan; add sugar, lime zest and ginger. Stir over high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

2. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve set over a bowl. Stir in lime juice and food colouring, if using.

3. Line 8 individual frozen-treat moulds or small (2-ounce) paper cups with slices of kiwi, pressing them onto the sides so they are close together but not overlapping. Fill each mould or cup with the lime mixture.

4. Freeze until beginning to set, about 1 hour. Insert frozen-treat sticks and freeze until completely firm. Dip the moulds briefly in hot water before unmolding.

Instructions:

Assembly sounds harder than it is. Once you've done it once, it all makes a lot more sense and you can whip these Itsy Bitsy Books up quickly... it's nice that there are no staples or glue required.

Cut around the outside dotted line.

Fold in half along the centre solid line, so you can still read the words.

Cut along the dotted line in the centre.

Fold each side in half again along the solid lines so you end up with a "fan fold". Fold in half THEN unfold everything!

Fold in half lengthwise so you can see a long strip of images on both sides.

Hold each end of the booklet and push together so the title page and back page are in place.

Crease firmly to finish the booklet.
