Have a go at creating some shadow art.

Set up toys on paper and  draw once the shadows hit. Try drawing at different times of day and experiment with the angle of the sun and the shadows it creates as you track its journey across the sky. You can draw right on the pavement with chalk, too. Pick toys with distinctive outlines.

Upload your results to the Teams area if you get a chance.

it is going to be hot today and over the weekend. Stay safe in the sun.

HAT, SPLAT, WRAP, COOL IN THAT!  Is our quick and easy way to remind to ourselves about how to protect  from the harmful rays of the sun.

Here are the links to the fourth and fifth Glorious Mysteries.

Don’t forget to log into Mass this weekend to see if you can spot your artwork. Sunday is a special feast day so celebrate with your families.

Have a look on Twitter to see your the message you helped created. I loved seeing all your faces and hearing your voices. Do your recognise the hymn playing in the background? There are many beautiful May hymn this happens to be my favourite.  We were very luck Mr Kris Thomas who plays the organ and runs St Joseph’s choir recorded it for us. A big thank you to all who took part, Fr Kenny, Fr Rooney, Mrs Reilly ( I picked out that poem about parents watching children grow and felt a lump in my throat reading it to myself – well done for getting through it without a sob!) also to Miss McCracken who did all the technical wizardry.

This links to Pentecost Sunday. I hope you have all created your hearts and sent them to Fr. Kenny. If not don’t worry there is still time.

A beautiful day, why not say your Rosary outside in the garden.

Well done to all who took part in Sports Day. The clips were great to see. Another way we have all been keeping fit is going for bike rides. This post contains some safety tips when out and about on your bike.

Cycle safety for children

Different Types of cycle paths

Road safety rules for kids

• don’t jump red lights or cycle on the pavement unless it’s a designated cycle path;
• signal clearly at all times;
• ride in a position where you can see and be seen;
• make eye contact with other road users, especially at junctions, then you know they’ve seen you;
• when riding at night always use a working white front light and red backlight, plus a red rear reflector – it’s the law.

If you’re cycling on paths shared by walkers, wheelchair users, and horse riders:

• don’t go too fast – it can intimidate others;
• use your bell to let others know you are approaching, but don’t assume they can hear or see you;
• give way to others and always be prepared to slow down and stop if necessary;
• keep left or on your side of any dividing line;
• be careful at junctions, bends or entrances.
