Pope John Paul II (1920 – 2005) or St. John the Great as he is known by many since his canonisation, was pope for 27 years, from 1978 until his death in 2005. Karol Józef Wojtyła was the first non-Italian pope since the 16th century. As pope, he spoke out against apartheid, the mafia, the Gulf war and the Iraq war. Wherever he saw injustice, he stood against it. Pope John Paul II also helped to bring down communism in Eastern Europe and worked tirelessly to build bridges with Islam, Judaism and the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Handwriting Practice

C. S. Lewis (1898 – 1963) was a Christian writer best known for the Narnia stories. He became a Christian after reading one of Chesterton‘s books and after many conversations with his friend J. R. R. Tolkien, (author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings) who was Catholic. Together they were part of a writer’s club called the Inklings. For over 16 years they regularly met up, read each other their writings, and swapped comments and ideas. They encouraged each other a lot, so without Tolkien, we might never have had Lewis and without Lewis we might never have had Tolkien.

Migration

Click here for a worksheet for today and tomorrow: Migration – Emigration and Immigration

Last week we learnt a little about the Irish Potato Famine (1845-1949) which forced millions of Irish people to leave their country and emigrate to other countries.

There are some important words we need to learn to talk about this subject. The subject is migration. Migration (n.) is the movement of people from one country to another. The verb for leaving your country to go to another, is ’emigrate’.

How many Irish people emigrated from Ireland to Canada?

Emigration – Leaving

This map shows the number of people who emigrated from the UK in 2004. The numbers represent thousands, so the 58 for Spain means 58,000 people emigrated from the UK to Spain.

Look at the title of this map. What do you notice? What’s the word for someone who leaves their country to live in a another country?
The numbers on the map are in thousands, so 71,000 people emigrated from the UK to Australia in 2004.
Use the sentence above to write 3 more sentences, writing the numbers in words. For example:

Six thousand people emigrated from the UK to Germany.
