R.E
Yesterday was the sixth Sunday of Easter. In the Gospel, Jesus said that if you love him, you will keep his commandments.
Commandments are rules. However God’s rules are all about love – about loving God and each other. If we love someone, we try our very best to show that by being polite, kind, generous and happy when we talk to them or about them to others.
You have rules and home and we have rules in school. Just like the Ten Commandments, our rules are all about looking after each other and doing the best for each other so that we can all be happy together at home or in school.
Sometimes we break the rules – adults as well as children. If we break God’s rules, we call that sin. Don’t worry though, we can make it better.
Just like at home or in school, if we are sorry and say that to the person we have hurt – and try our best not to do it again – God will forgive us because he loves each one of us so much.
We can read about the Ten Commandments which were given to Moses in the Old Testament which is the first section of the Bible.
You can see them here. Read them or ask an adult for help then chat to someone in your family about them.
In the New Testament (the second section of the Bible), Jesus spoke about love all of the time. In fact, he made a ‘New Commandment.’
He asked us all to, ‘ Love one another as I have loved you.’
If you think about it – we all love ourselves and look after ourselves.
Jesus is saying simply that we should love everyone else as much as we love ourselves. If we all did that, the world would be a much happier place! In fact, if we all did that then we would be following the Ten Commandments without even realizing it!
At Easter, Pope Francis told us that we should love and care for each other, ‘No ifs, no buts!’
Today, let’s think about how we love each other: our family and our friends.
I would like you to choose one of the following activities. You can download and print a picture or you can make one of your own. When you have finished it, place it somewhere where all of the family can see it to remind yourselves of how just much you love and care for each other.
Please email your pictures to gw17mcmullenkenedi@glow.sch.uk or, with an adult’s permission, upload them on to Twitter.

Healthy Snack Day!
We’re heading towards our Virtual Sports’ Day next Tuesday and what better way to prepare than to think about healthy snacks for the day.
They don’t need to be fancy…just healthy and delicious.
Have a look at some of these:
Try to create a healthy snack of your own. What ingredients might you need?
Cooking Skills for Learning, Life and Work!
Depending upon your age, you could practise some of these skills as you prepare your snack. You might need to ask an adult for help.
You will be using skills that will be with you for the rest of your life. These skills are progressive. That means that if you haven’t peeled or sliced ingredients before (see the Primary 1 list) you will need to practise these before you move on to the next list!
Remember to wash your hands before you begin!
