Here is what 5-LT did to produce their prayer cloth (collective comments from all students):

• 5LT’s Prayer Cloth was inspired by Mary MacKillop
• Mary opened a school for children
• Mary loved reading to children under a tree
• Everyone was included at Mary’s school
• Mary made sure the less fortunate were included in her school

• Jeremy in 5LT suggested the quote: Let us be humble and grateful
• It tells us to not boast about things
• It reminds us to be grateful for what we have and not always want more

• The leaves are from Aboriginal art
• The leaves remind us that we are all included in Australia
• The leaves remind us of the first nations people who lived on this land
• As we know leaves grow and so do we as a class and a school

• The books on the tree trunk remind us of how kind Mary MacKillop was to everyone
• Each one of the 5LT students are listed as an author of a book on the tree trunk
• This reminds us to be mindful of stories from the past 
• It also reminds us that we can pass on stories now
• In prayer, we listen to stories from an important book called the Bible
• Now we can act on Scripture teaching us how to be kind people today.

• Our prayer cloth holds a lot of meaning and was created from all students in our class - we all decided what to do and how to do it.
