“We haven’t got to the ice-block bit though,” Tyson chuckled. “Can you get us one, Coop?” “Alright, where’s your money?” Cooper replied. “Do you have any, Brodie?” Tyson asked. A little kid ran past and stepped on Brodie’s hand. “No,” he replied grumpily. “Can you get us one, Cooper? We haven’t got any cash,” Tyson asked, but it didn’t sound like a question. He rolled over on the concrete to warm his back up, shielding his eyes from the bright sun. “Really? C’mon, guys! I bought the last one,” Cooper frowned. “That’s because you’re better at saving than we are,” Brodie chimed in. “C’mon, Coop, be a mate,” Tyson said, standing up. His body left a dark watermark outline on the light grey concrete, which made him smirk. Cooper stood up. “Oh, alright, then,” he sighed. Grabbing his wallet, he wandered towards the kiosk

LC- To understand the importance of Lent for Christians.
We have already looked at how Jesus went into the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights and sacrificed his comforts and concentrated on praying and thinking about God in preparation for his work in the future.
Christians still think about this story and remember the sacrifices that Jesus made during a time of the year called LENT.

Our names often mean something: your parents may have chosen your name because it is something they like or reminds them of an event or time of year. Examples are Holly, Hazel and June.
Who has a middle name, or more than one?
Names are special and we should be careful how we use them and not be unkind about them or make fun of people’s names or give them cruel nicknames.
Mr Men books – their names are special because they tell us what kind of characters they are. You could ask, why Mr Jelly? Because he’s scared of everything, etc.
The Bible and say that it is full of names. There are some names which are hard to pronounce such as: Abelbethmaachah (1 Kings 15.20); Berodachbaladan (2 Kings 20.12); Mahershalalhashbaz (Isaiah 8.1).
For Christians there is one name that is more special than any other. When this baby was born there were no baby name books like there are now but his mother Mary knew exactly what she should call her baby boy because God had told Joseph, her husband, what name to give him.
So he was called Jesus, which means Saviour, or God will save us. The name of Jesus is special for Christians because they believe that he helps us and puts us right with God.
For Muslims Mohammed is a special name because it is the name of the Prophet which means the praiseworthy one. Muhammed was not a common name and he was the first person to be called that in Makkah. When Muslims say or hear the name Muhammad and it is about the prophet they say may peace and blessing be upon him.
Time for reflection
Reflection
Close your eyes.
Think for a moment about your own name.
Say it silently in your head.
Does it have a special meaning?
Are you named after someone in your family?
Do your family and friends have a shortened version of your name they like to call you by?
Silently name three special people in your head – perhaps from your family or your friends.
