El Grego's Anti-Bullying Show

On Friday, my school and I went to watch the El Grego show in the hall. El Grego teaches children not to bully.

My favourite part was when El Grego tried to make a bird come out of a bucket. He invited someone from the audience up on the stage to help with his trick. He invited a girl called Hunter Rose up to help him. El Grego and his wife, Sue, got Hunter Rose a magic wand and said, “It better work,” but nothing came out of the bucket. They got her a bigger and bigger and bigger wand. The next wand they got out was so big Hunter Rose couldn’t hold the wand by herself so El Grego’s assistant, Sue, came out and helped her. Hunter Rose said,  “It better work,”  again.

They looked inside and saw a toy bird. It came out. El Grego said to everyone, “Don’t you want a real bird?”

The audience yelled out, “Yes!” so El Grego told Hunter Rose to say, “It better work,” so Hunter Rose did. A real live bird came out. Her name was Ruby. She had red and grey feathers. El Grego told everyone that Ruby would say anything she could hear. El Grego asked Hunter Rose if she wanted to pat Ruby. Hunter Rose said, “Yes.”

When the magic trick was over, El Grego asked Hunter Rose if she wanted an ipad.

Hunter Rose said, “Yes.”

Instead of getting one of those touch screen ipads Hunter Rose got an writing pad with googly eyes on it. The audience laughed with amusement.

Anti-Bullying Poem

Bullying is bad. It makes people sad.
You know you're not cool 
You make yourself look like a fool.
People can't bear being bullied because they're so full of fear.
You call people names, you should feel so ashamed.
Maybe if you be nice, people would like you.
If you are being bullied, you should use your wits.
Instead of being mean, you should work as a team.

Holy Thursday Liturgy

Holy Thursday Liturgy

It was now the time of Passover. Jesus’ followers came to Him and said, “We will go and prepare everything for the Passover Feast. Where do you want to eat the feast?” Jesus answered, “Go into the city. A man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. He will go into a house. Tell the owner of the house, “The teacher wants you to prepare the room for the Passover meal.” So the followers left and went into the city and prepared the Passover Feast.

In the evening, Jesus went to that house with the twelve. While they were eating, Jesus took the bread and gave God thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and eat it; this is my body which will be given up for you.”





  
When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave God thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and drink from it; this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.”

After some time, Jesus got up from the table and went to a different part of the room.  He put a large towel around him, making himself look like a servant.  After that, he poured water into a large bowl and began to wash the disciples' feet.  He then dried them with the towel that was wrapped around Him.

When Jesus had finished washing all of the disciples’ feet, he returned to the table.  "Do you understand what I have done for you?"  Jesus asked them.
Jesus is like a King - but even greater than a king, He's the King of Kings!  By washing the disciples’ feet, He was doing something that only a servant would do.
This is an example of how you should treat others.  You don't have to actually wash other people's feet, but do kind things to others and act like a servant for Jesus.
