🌈 Good Morning Boys and Girls 🌈
It has been great seeing all of your work and how creative you have all been over the last few days. The character profiles, news reports, not to mention the beautiful poems on your Super Heroes – from Grans to Mums – I’ve loved them all. Mrs Graham and I are so proud of all you have been doing at home. Please keep sending/posting your work as it really brightens our days.
Can you believe that it is the last day of April and tomorrow we begin a new month?
Let’s start the day with our morning prayer. 🙏
I hope that you have been remembering to say our Guardian Angel prayer, especially at this time, so that they will keep us safe and well. Here it is if you can’t remember it.
Angel of God, my Guardian dear,
To whom God’s love commits me here;
Ever this day, be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide. Amen
