Sophia’s world was a canvas, but holding a brush wasn’t easy. Her hands, affected by cerebral palsy, shook uncontrollably at times. Yet, she loved painting more than anything. When an art competition was announced at school, she decided to enter, even though doubt whispered in her ear. She spent hours each day, painstakingly working on her piece. It was a vibrant depiction of a tree standing tall against a stormy sky. The lines weren’t perfect, and the colors occasionally smudged, but to Sophia, it reflected her journey—strong, resilient, and unyielding. On the day of the competition, her painting stood alongside others that seemed flawless. Sophia felt small, wondering if she belonged. But when the judges announced her as the winner, she was stunned. “Your painting tells a story,” one judge said. “It’s alive.” For the first time, Sophia realized her art wasn’t about perfection. It was about heart. And in that moment, she knew her hands could create beauty, no matter their challenges.

The Eucharist can be introduced to young children as a special meal where Jesus is present. It is important to explain that during Mass, we gather as a family to share in a meal that Jesus gave us. This meal is not just any meal; it is a sacred moment where we remember Jesus and feel His love for us. By framing the Eucharist as a loving gift from Jesus, children can begin to grasp its significance in a way that resonates with their experiences[^1][^2]. Key Concepts for Understanding the Eucharist 2. Real Presence of Jesus: Children should understand that in the Eucharist, Jesus is truly present. This can be explained simply: "When we eat the bread and drink the wine at Mass, we believe that Jesus is really with us." This foundational belief helps children appreciate the mystery of the Eucharist[^1][^3]. 4. Sharing and Community: Emphasizing the communal aspect of the Eucharist is essential. Children can be taught that the Eucharist is a time when everyone comes together to share God's love. They can learn that just like sharing food with family and friends, the Eucharist is about sharing love and kindness with everyone in the Church community[^2][^4]. 6. Love and Gratitude: Teaching children to express love and gratitude is vital. They can be encouraged to say thank you to Jesus for the gift of the Eucharist. This can be done through simple prayers or actions, helping them understand the importance of being thankful for God's gifts

Once upon a time, in a cozy little burrow, there lived a fluffy bunny named Pip. Pip was a very curious bunny who loved exploring the meadow outside her home. Every day, she would hop around, sniffing the flowers and listening to the birds sing. One sunny morning, Pip decided to explore a part of the meadow she had never been to before. As she hopped along, she spotted a tiny butterfly fluttering by. "Hello, little butterfly!" Pip said excitedly, hopping after it. The butterfly flew higher and higher, and Pip followed, her little paws bouncing across the grass. But soon, the butterfly disappeared behind a tall bush. Pip stopped and looked around, wondering where it had gone. To her surprise, she found a small door at the base of the bush. It was just the right size for a tiny bunny like her. With a wiggle of her nose, Pip pushed the door open and peeked inside. Behind the door was a magical garden, full of glowing flowers and sparkling leaves. A friendly mouse named Nibble was picking berries in the garden. "Welcome, Pip!" Nibble said with a smile. "I’m glad you found our secret garden. It’s a special place where friends can meet and share stories." Pip’s eyes sparkled with excitement. She spent the whole afternoon in the magical garden, making new friends and learning about all the wonderful plants and animals that lived there. When the sun began to set, Pip said goodbye to her new friends and hopped back home, her heart full of joy. She couldn’t wait to tell her family about the secret garden and the friendly mouse. And from that day on, Pip knew that sometimes, the best adventures are the ones you find when you’re curious and brave enough to explore. The End.

‘Breathe in…1, 2, 3, 4… now out …1, 2, 3, 4.’ Mayuka taught her dolls what she saw her mother, a psychologist, do often. After playtime, the 9-year-old busily punched the air, tapped her foot, twirled, and bent her knees… dance was her world! Her school’s annual day was coming up in two weeks. Mayuka was set to perform a group dance along with classmates from 4th standard first and later, a solo dance in the competition category. The girls prepared for the group dance with their class teacher. For her solo, she took help from Greta Miss, her dance teacher at the Dancing Stars studio near her home. Two weeks became one week and then soon enough Rainbow School’s annual day arrived. She was exhausted from the constant practice yet excited. ‘Welcome to Rainbow School’s Annual Day,’ read the banners everywhere. Mayuka walked into school chirpily with her mother. Since her father’s death a year ago, it was her mother who attended all her school events. Mayuka and her mom went to her classroom, buzzing with her dance pals. ‘Where’s my skirt?’ ‘Miss, my hairclips are missing.’ Ka-chik, ka-chik, selfies everywhere. Mayuka got ready quickly. Her mom gave her the usual good luck kiss. The dancers waited backstage as Miss Lily announced ‘Here come the dance champs of class 4!’ The audience clapped exuberantly before and after the dance.
