Good Morning everyone!
It’s a special day today…it’s Happy Thursday! Why is that? Well tomorrow is a holiday and Monday is an INSET day – that means you get a rest until Tuesday!
So, the sooner we get to work, the sooner we get to that holiday!
As usual we’ll begin with our morning prayer:
God Our Father, as we prepare to begin our work today we ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts you have given us so that we may fully benefit from our day together. Amen.
Health and Wellbeing
Let’s get into a HAPPY mood! So, play the video and dance like no-one is watching you!

R.E.
Please say another decade of the Rosary in front of your May Altar. Remember to pray for the sick, for those who have died, for you and your families as well as all of our fabulous NHS and Keyworkers.
Good Shepherd
On Monday I asked you to create a 3D Good Shepherd scene. Below you can see a wonderful one made by Rachel!
Terrific work, Rachel! I can’t wait to see some more, Primary 5!
Art and Design
As it’s NHS and Keyworker Thursday I saw this idea which I thought that you might like to try. It involves painting a stone in support of the NHS/Keyworker groups. You could try it when you have some free time and then put it on display for others to see.
Well Primary 5, I think that you have completed enough tasks for today.
I hope that you have a lovely, long weekend with your families. Stay safe! I’ll see you on Tuesday!
