Confirmation Preparation

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Sacrament of Confirmation confirms the presence of the Holy Spirit in each one of us. The word 'confirmation' comes from the two root words - 'to firm up' and 'in community'.

In the sacrament of Confirmation, in the presence of your family and your parish community, you are confirmed in your role as a witness to Christ in the world today.

The Sacrament of Confirmation is one of the seven sacraments - baptism, confirmation, Eucharist, penance, anointing of the sick, marriage and holy orders.

Confirmation, focuses is on the Holy Spirit, who confirmed the apostles on Pentecost and gave them courage to practice their faith. We believe that the Holy Spirit confirms us during the Sacrament of Confirmation and gives us the same gifts as the apostles.

The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude (courage), knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. The 12 fruits of the Holy Spirit are charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, long-suffering, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, and chastity - human qualities that can be activated by the Holy Spirit.

To help prepare you and your family for your Confirmation, the three part 'Come Holy Spirit' video series below have been created to guide and explain the importance of this sacrament and the responsibilities and gifts that it brings.

We hope they are helpful. If you need any help or have questions, please contact your parish priest, your teacher or the Derry Diocesan Catechetical Centre (00 44 (0)28 7126 4087 or email:

Sacrament of Confirmation video and worksheet resources

In this three part video series, Come Holy Spirit, Eleanor and Johanna guide us through the various stages of preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation; why the Holy Spirit is so important in our lives, the gifts the Holy Spirit brings to each one of us and important considerations such as choosing a Confirmation name and a sponsor.

This video and worksheet series has been developed to help and guide parents/guardians and children to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Episode 1: Holy Spirit, Trinity, Power of the Spirit and Symbols of the Holy Spirit

In lesson 1, Eleanor and Johanna focus on the Holy Spirit and the difference it makes in our lives as well as:

Insights gained from every day use of the word Spirit (Community Spirit, Team Spirit, Christmas Spirit, Inspired Spirit and more)

Who the Holy Spirit is and the Holy Spirit as a Person of the Trinity - reflection on the Trinity.

The difference the Holy Spirit makes in the life of Jesus and the disciples.

Symbols of the Holy Spirit - Fire, Wind, Dove. Insights gained from these symbols.

In this second lesson, Eleanor and Johanna look at the seven gifts and the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit

Beginning with a quick fire quiz revising what was learned in previous lesson.

Explore what fruits and a gifts of the Holy Spirit are. Reflection on how we all have the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit - a game is played where the children guess what gift of the Spirit each picture represents and these gifts are explored. Children are asked to think about what gift of the Holy Spirit they feel that they need to strengthen.

The nine fruits of the Holy Spirit - a game where the children are invited to guess what fruit of the Holy Spirit is being described.

A final game whereby the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit are combined and explored further.

In this final episode, Eleanor and Johanna look at choosing Confirmation names and sponsors and the Confirmation ceremony itself.

Beginning with a quick fire quiz revisiting what was learned in previous episodes.

A name identification game is played and leads into a discussion on the significance of names and the importance of putting time and effort into choosing a confirmation name. Children are encouraged to choose a saint's name and some saints are referenced.

The significance of a sponsor is explored.

The four parts of the Confirmation Ceremony are explored:

Calling by Name

Renewal of Baptismal Promises

Laying on of Hands

A reflection is given on how the ceremony might be different during the current pandemic.

A reminder that confirmation is not an 'end' but should be a new beginning.

At timestables.co.uk you can easily practise all of your tables. The arithmetic problems are clear and simple so you can immediately get started on practicing your tables. Select one of the times tables you wish to practise from the list below and show what you can do on the speed test, Multiplication Tables Check or printout great worksheets.

Choose the table you want to practise from the following. First you can practise the times tables in sequence and once you have got the hang of that you can practise all the sums in random order for each table. If you have forgotten any answers, just go back to the 'all tables in sequence' page and practise them again thoroughly before trying again.

Once you have got the hang of a number of tables you can select the speed test and choose the tables you want to practise getting quicker at. If you make a mistake, you came see what the right answer is at the end of the test. This will help you learn all of your tables. The speed test is good practise for getting your tables diploma. On the tables diploma the questions are a bit quicker than on the speed test, but if you get all of them right you will get your tables diploma. There are two tables diplomas. The little diploma is made up of 30 questions. Your little diploma shows you can do the 1,2,3,4,5 and 10 times tables. For the big tables diploma you are given 40 questions which include all the tables from 1 to 12.

Learn the times tables in an interactive way with the free math times tables games KS2 and KS1. The game element makes it even more fun learn.

Practise your times tables

Here you can find additional information about practicing times tables at primary school. The 1 times table, 2 times table, 3 times table, 4 times table, 5 times table and 10 times table are usually the first times tables which have to be learned. The 6 times table, 7 times table, 8 times table, 9 times table, 11 times table, 12 times table and of course all the tables in random order are the next step. This is part of KS1 and KS2.

New is the Multiplication Tables Check, this is a key stage 2 assessment to be taken by pupils at the end of year 4, from the 2019 / 2020 academic year onwards. With this check there are asked 25 questions on the times tables 2 to 12.

Not every child finds it easy to learn all the tables, so it is a good idea to keep on practicing them regularly after year 5. There are a few tricks which make it easier to learn the tables and continue to master them, such as putting the smallest number first, which makes it easier for many children to answer correctly. For example 4 x 9 is easier to work out than 9 x 4. Switching the multiplication sum around makes it easier to answer. What also often helps is to use the tables you know well for answering the sums in the more difficult tables. One example of this is 6 x 7, which is often said to be tricky. If you do 5 x 7 first and then add 1 x 7 it is suddenly easier to answer. You can do this the other way round too. For instance with 4 x 7 you can do 5 x 7 first then subtract 1 x 7.

Why do we put so much effort into learning tables? Well, the times tables keep on coming up in the next primary school years and even when you're at secondary school. You don't see them as tables, but as part of bigger mathematical problems. And it isn't only at school, but in your everyday life it is useful to know your times tables well so you can quickly work things out, for instance when you are buying or selling vegetables on the market. If you have any questions, comments or ideas for timestables.co.uk, please use our contact form. We'd be glad to hear from you.

The 5-step plan

Learn the times tables with the 5-step plan. We developed an innovative five step plan to help pupils learn the times tables in an effective and efficient way. This method has been tested at several schools and is recommended by teachers.
The steps are:

Step 1a: View, read aloud and repeat. To get familiar with the table.

Step 1b: Fill in your times tables answers in sequence and check if you got them all right.

Step 2: Drag the correct answers to the questions.

Step 3: Fill in your answers for the mixed questions and check if you got them all right.

Step 4: Multiple choice questions will help you to improve by looking at the questions in a different way.

Step 5: Proof your knowledge and get the diploma.

When you finished the 5 steps you can play the memory game or exercise with the worksheet. Other way to train more are with the tempo test, the 1 minute test or to play the times tables games.

We advise to exercise daily for 15 minutes for maximum result.

Practise your times tables online

Times tables are important and there are not many places where you can learn them quickly and easily, so we have come up with timestables.co.uk! Practicing your tables online is really easy at timestables.co.uk. The times tables games are clear and simple so you can get started right away. Click on one of the tables to get started right away. Fill in the answers in the lines and when you've finished, click on 'check'. You will see right away which answers are correct and which are incorrect. You can also practise different times tables in one exercise so you can test whether you know them all and yu can also look at the times table grid or times tables worksheets.

You can also practise the tables interactively with the free multiplication games. On the times tables games page we now have an answer-dragging game and a table balloons game.

Times tables form the basis for the calculations that you do in the following years, so it's important that you fully understand them.
