This sounds really interesting. I think we need to bring more prayer, meditation and philosophy back into our Catholic Schools in Ontario.
If reading, writing and maths are not enough for young minds, some Wellington 6-year-olds are also tackling life’s great existential questions.
That’s if they are not busy meditating, of course.
Philosophy and meditation are on the timetable at two Wellington schools, which have introduced the unorthodox subjects to engage children and help them to use their minds in different ways.
The eternal question of “Why?” is addressed during philosophy at Island Bay School, while at Miramar’s Holy Cross School, meditation is seen as another way for children to feel calm and closer to God. (via Children Learn Philosophy and Meditation at School… | Stuff.co.nz)

Princess Leia cupcakes (with oreos as the ears!) I baked these last year for a May 4th party :)
My death mellon which I carved last year in honour of May the 4th!

Funniest add I think I’ve ever seen… what makes it funnier is that it’s real! Please help this man get a girlfriend… buy his comics! Lol
Good friends of mine sing a cover of “You and I” during the end of the school year celebrations - no more Teacher’s College!
Two churches located across the street from each other. At least the Catholics have a sense of humor.
This is hilarious!!!!! Just because I like debates… we don’t know for sure if animals are in heaven. They do have souls but they are not human souls - just as trees and plants also have “souls.” The old school philosopher go to - St. Thomas - says animals don’t go to heaven, but others (like Kreeft) argue that it’s possible.
Either way, these signs are hilarious.
I’ve reblogged this before… but I just love it!!! It’s too good!!!! c:
