They had arrived out of the blue, catching everyone completely unaware.
Striding through the vast expanse of ocean as if it were nothing more than a shallow puddle, the trolls provided the gathering crowd on the cliff tops with a menacing spectacle. They were enormous! Grotesque!
The whole cliff shook as one of them crunched a meaty, clumsy hand the size of an elephant into the rock face…

Remember Sancta Maria Primary and LC4 are focusing on Mary's Value - Full of Grace. This writing assignment is based on this idea and how we can be like our Mother Mary. Please remember children being full of grace means being patient, humble, calm, respectful, gentle and prayerful. Use the template I have created to help write a reflective piece on being like Mary and being full of Grace. Please use the template first, it will help you gather your ideas. The rest of the instructions are on the template (sent through Seesaw).
Sorry for the mix-up the template is now been assigned through Room 8,9 and 10's Seesaw. Try your best and have a blessed Ash Wednesday.
