Dear Year 4,

Yesterday, we all tried Miss Pringle’s burpees challenge and most of the children accomplished gold level!  Ms Varga has shown good effort 🙂

We joined in the virtual Mass with Fr Shaun before starting our learning.

The children found the writing task interesting; daydreaming about a day out once Lock-down is over. Some of them planned a day out on the beach, some visiting horse riding stables and doing horse riding.

What did you plan?  Please share your day out with us!!

Here is today’s learning:

Morning Prayer

Find a quiet place to sit and reflect…

 

Prayer for Mental Health

O God,
who has so faithfully cared for me in the past,
and so often seen me through to safety:
Grant me that in moments of depression,
desolation, failure and despair,
I may look back in gratitude,
and refreshed by the remembrance of past grace
turn again to the future in renewed trust
and unfailing hope
resting upon Jesus Christ,
my beloved Saviour.

Dear Year 4!

We hope you have had a lovely weekend, even though the weather wasn’t very gracious to us!

This week, we are moving on to a new English unit, which will include looking at Zoos around the world and it will ask you to form an opinion for or against Zoos. You will also have a chance to look at activities supporting your mental well being. The themes are: give, get active, connect,take notice and keep learning. Just like last week, we would like you to choose one activity each afternoon to complete.

Please keep in touch and send us photos of your work or things that you have been up to. It was lovely seeing some of these last week! We will put them on for you in this week’s Celebration blog, so keep an eye out!

Morning Prayer
A Prayer in the Time of the Coronavirus

Almighty and All–loving God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
we pray to you through Christ the Healer
for those who suffer from the Coronavirus Covid–19
in Great Britain and across the world.

We pray too for all who reach out to those who mourn the loss
of each and every person who has died as a result of contracting the disease.

Give wisdom to policymakers,
skill to healthcare professionals and researchers,
comfort to everyone in distress
and a sense of calm to us all in these days of uncertainty and distress.

This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord
who showed compassion to the outcast,
acceptance to the rejected
and love to those to whom no love was shown.

Amen.

If you go into the Wild Wood, you should not forget to take a map. Do not leave the path, as it is very easy to get lost if you do. You will need to take a snack too – not for you to eat, but to give to the hungry creatures you will encounter on your journey. I have known the fairy folk who live in the wood to eat ten sandwiches each – and they are only 50 centimetres high! And once a traveller told me she had found an ogre daintily eating a plastic lunch box. I hope he did not get indigestion!

Welcome Back to Year 1

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Dear Children,

We are really looking forward to welcoming you back to Year 1

There are a few things we all need to do, to keep you all safe:

Entering the Classroom

When you come into the Reception/KS1 playground, you will need to find a marker for you and your parent to stand on. Mrs Shea or I will then call you one at a time to come and join us in the classroom.

You won’t need to bring your bag in for now, as sadly, we won’t be able to change your reading books. You will need to bring in your named water bottle and a piece of fruit for snack time; you can put these straight into your box with your name on. If you are bringing in your own packed lunch, you can put it on your table.

Inside the classroom

At first, it may look a little bit different to what you are used to, but hopefully not too much! Some of your toys and resources we use have been put away for now. This is so that we can keep your classroom lovely and clean throughout the day. You will also have some new rules that Mrs Shea and I will share with you once we are altogether; these will help to keep us all safe and look after each other.

 

 

When we are on the carpet together, you will be given a spot to sit on…how exciting!

Snack

Please bring in a water bottle and a piece of fruit (peeled/ cut already) for snacktime together.

Lunchtime

At lunchtime, you will be eating your lunch with your friends, Mrs Shea and I, in your classroom; if the weather’s nice, we will go outside for a picnic lunch.

Washing hands

Just like before, we will be washing our hands frequently throughout the day. Can you remember the song that we sing when we are washing our hands?

Going home

When it’s time to go home, your parent will be waiting next to a marker for you. We will then call you one at a time and you will leave the school premises by walking through the big, blue gate next to our classroom.

Mrs Shea and I are very excited to see you and can’t wait to hear your stories.

See you next week!

Mrs Carey

Religion – Remembering St Paul VI our School patron

The 29thMay has been dedicated to remembering St Paul VI, the patron of our school. He became a Saint on 14th October 2018. To launch our R.E. home learning this week, we will focus St Paul VI and his work  spreading the Gospel of Christ; he was a prophet of our Church facing outwards, looking to those far away and caring for the poor.

 

Saint Paul VI Quotes – Diocesan

Our Morning Offering – 26 September – The Memorial of Blessed Pope ...

Saint Paul VI believed that we should work to serve the poor and the hungry.  Click on the link below to look at the work of CAFOD – the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development. Take part in their jar of hope activity.

Your loving care

Lord Jesus,

when you walked with us on earth

you spread your healing power.

We place in your loving care

all who are affected by Coronavirus.

Keep us strong in faith, hope and love

Bring relief to our sick,

console our bereaved,

protect those who care for us.

We lift our prayer to you Lord,

and trust in your infinite mercy,

as we wait for the daybreak.

Amen.

Find a quiet place to sit ….
This is another day, O Lord.

I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be.

If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus.

Amen.
