Good morning!

Yesterday I spent most of the day in the garden and it was lovely. I also managed to get the grass cut and a washing out to dry.

There’s a before and after. It always feels good to get the grass cut and a washing out!

 

Shahmir and Shanzay have been outside LOTS and it’s great! They looked like they had so much fun planting and taking care of their garden! Their Mum also sent me a video of all the fantastic work they have been doing this week.

 

Rida picked her favourite book and read along with Miss Kinloch. I wonder if you could find a YouTube Video of your favourite book (the way we have in class) and read along with it?

 

 

LITERACY:

I am very excited about this!! As the boys and girls of Primary 2 know, my two favourite things in the world are Harry Potter and Christmas.

Good Morning Primary 2!!

I spent most of the day yesterday lying on the couch watching TV, just not wanting to move, and I really enjoyed it! Today I am going to try and do some exercise to help clear my brain from yesterdays chill.

I try not to push myself too hard to do things I don’t want to because I want to make sure I am still happy and my mental health is strong. However I do push myself to try and exercise to keep my mind and body healthy.

I love to do these types of exercising:

You can also do the daily PE with Joe!

I also like to do some Yoga at home to relax my body.

You can also do lots of 10 minutes practices on YouTube as well!
Cosmic Kids Yoga is also fantastic for some fun yoga.

Remember it is ok to have days where you do NOTHING! This is a time to look after YOU as well as everyone else.

Here is what some of your friends were doing yesterday:

Abdullah has been working hard on different pages of the Home Learning pack! Well Done Abdullah.

Issa sent a check in to show he is enjoying the Home Learning packs. I hope you are all enjoying them.

Inayah and her sister made some yummy looking doughnuts! I’m very jealous! She then relaxed and drew this beautiful flower.

Rida got a new art set. WOW! That looks amazing!

Ajwa has made another video to update us on how she is getting on!

Miss Bull wanted to say a big thank you for her lovely video. If you haven’t seen the video, check out yesterdays blog! 🙂

I know some of you may not have paints at home, so I have attached Miss Milne’s video to show you how to make your own.

As we are speaking about mental health this week, some of the staff from St Alberts made a video showing what they like to do when they are feeling sad or down at this time.
