Our responses to the BOT initiative for a better world for all.
Room 6 were inspired by the letter sent to the children of the world by Pope Francis, Laudato Si. It gave us many insights into the state of our world and how, if all people across the globe work together, we can make a difference for ourselves and others.
We began our journey by drafting our ideas as images in our writing books. We divided the page into sections, like in a stained glass window. Then we added blurbs to go with our pictures. We coloured them in, so we could get a good idea of what the final result would look like.
When we were happy with our Draft copies, we cellotaped half a page of overhead transparency sheeting over it. Then we started the fun part of colouring and writing the final blurbs if felts. It was really important that we coloured in one direction and didn't leave any gaps because otherwise they wouldn't look like real stained glass windows. The final job was to mount them on black cardboard which Mrs Yumul did for us, and wrote our names. We were going to hang them in our windows in the classroom but they are now up in the foyer of the school.
We are proud of our efforts and we hope they will motivate those who see them to think about the actions we take and could take to make our world a better place for us all to live in.

ReplyDeleteThank you Room 6 for reminding us the importance of taking care of the World Our Common Home. Thank you for helping us becoming aware of the gift of God's creation. In the chaos of the world , in our own small roles we can manifest peace to others and to God's creation in our everyday lives.

Hi there, Room 6, oh my goodness, your Laudato Si' Stained Glass Windows are amazing! I've watched your video several times and I have been absolutely delighted with your precise and colourful artwork. Thank you for showing us Pope Francis's Laudato Si'in such an inspiring way.
