Here are your Home Learning Tasks for this week.

RE

Here is the link for the Children’s Liturgy Activity for the Sixth Sunday of Easter.  In St. John’s Gospel Jesus tells us “If you love me you will keep my commandments.”  How can we show love to others at home?

https://youtu.be/dK3wSdrsz1s

My favourite line in this Gospel is:”I will not leave you orphans”.

As we approach the great feast of the Ascension this Thursday, we remember that although Jesus went back to his Father in Heaven, he sent his Holy Spirit on the Feast of Pentecost to be with his disciples.  The Holy Spirit lives in us too and is always with us, guiding us and leading us to our Father in Heaven.

Ascension Thursday

The Ascension Sequencing Activity

Ascension Thursday is a Holy Day of Obligation and Bishop Toal will be celebrating Mass at 11am to allow us to come together (virtually) as a community of faith.  As soon as the link is available, I will post it for you.  

As we continue through the month of May, we remember to say the Rosary.  Let’s ask Our Lady to look after those who are sick and the families of people who have died.  We also remember doctors and nurses and all those looking after the people in hospital at this time.

If you managed to make the Kilbowie Energy Bar, I hope you enjoyed it.

Hello Primary 7!  Hope you have all had a good first week of home learning and are looking forward to the weekend.  I’ve been thinking about you all and I’m missing seeing your happy faces every day!  Remember to keep yourselves as active as possible. There’s a good app you can download called the 7 Minute Workout or I know many of you will be working out with The Body Coach, Joe Wicks.  We should continue doing that when we get back to school!

I know that this weekend we should have been packing for Kilbowie so I’m sending you their famous flapjack recipe for you to try at home.  The flapjacks are delicious!  If you can, eat them outside and just pretend you’re in Oban.

Tuesday 24th March 2020

I hope you all had a good day yesterday Primary 7 and are managing to keep yourselves busy and active.

Below is the Friendship Form you were asked to complete for your transition to Cardinal Newman.  I know many of you did complete it and return it to school, but for those of you who didn’t, can you complete it now and return it to the school via GLOW.
