20th April 2020 Primary 5

Good morning to my marvellous Primary 5s,

I hope that you and your families are well and have managed to enjoy some spring sunshine together during your Easter break. Remember not to worry if you do not manage to complete all suggested tasks each day; do what you can and try to keep your body and mind active. Remember to take breaks regularly throughout the day.

Let’s begin our day with a prayer. Close your eyes and thank God for the people who love and care for us. Say a Hail Mary and an Our Father.

Let’s begin by working off those delicious Easter eggs with Jumping Jax 25 minute cardio for kids:
