Rosary Diagram

In class we are praying the rosary because it is October, the month of the rosary. We had to make a digital learning object to teach people how to pray the rosary.
I found it easy to find a png labeled for reuse for the rosary beads because I used the Explore tool.
I found it hard to link all the prayers because they were all in separate boxes.
Here is a link to all of the prayers. How to pray the Rosary

Saint Mary MacKillop

On 8th of August our whole school went to Mass to celebrate Mary MacKillop's feast day. Now in Room 1 we are answering the questions she asked us. It was easy to get it done but putting it in my own words was tricky.
Who was Saint Mary Mackillop?
Saint Mary Helen Mackillop was an Austrailian nun. She was born 15 January 1842, Fitzroy, Victoria, a city in Australia. Mary’s parents were not wealthy. She was the eldest of 8 children. Her education was mostly taught at home.

What did Mary Mackillop do?
Mary’s first job was when she was 14, a clerk at a printing shop. This money went mostly to food and the family’s bills. Then, she went with her cousins to teach the young. Soon she loved children and later became a school teacher. In South Australia she met a priest named Father Julian Tenison Woods. He also wanted to help poor children go to  school. Together they built the stable school in 1866.

How did Mary Mackillop become a Saint?
In 1866 Mary MacKillop and Father Tenison Woods started the religious order of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart (the Josephites) and in 1867 Mary MacKillop became a nun – Sister Mary of the Cross.
She helped the poor and had never seen a need without doing something about it.
Her feast day is the 8th of August.
