¡Buenos días a todos!
Hoy es viernes y es casi el fin de semana.
What do you think that means? I’m sure that you can work it out!
Let’s begin with our morning prayer.
God our Father
As we prepare to begin our work
We ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts you have given us
So that we may fully benefit from out day together. Amen.
Health and Wellbeing
It is very important for us to talk about how we are feeling. It is especially important now as some of you may be worried about the changes we have all had to make in the last few months. Talking to someone, exercising and relaxing are all great ways to help your health and wellbeing and keep you feeling happy. Today I would like you to play the lanterns game below where you write down how you are feeling and what has made you feel that way. You will then see your feeling float up into the sky.

Click on whichever video you like or do all three! My favourite is I like to move it 🙂 it certainly gets your heart beating!
Now for some relaxing time. A great way to relax is by doing yoga. Yoga is an ancient form of exercise that focuses on strength, flexibility and breathing to boost physical and mental wellbeing. The main components of yoga are postures (a series of movements designed to increase strength and flexibility) and breathing.
Why not send us some pictures of you taking part in any of the exercises you have been doing today. Send to: gw09mckinneysheelah@glow.sch.uk or, with permission Tweet @St_BarbarasPS

R.E.
We have been learning how Jesus prayed for his friends and for all of us and how he taught his disciples to pray to our Heavenly Father. We know that saying our prayers is very important. On the accompanying illustration of Jesus praying, draw pictures or write names in the thought bubble of yourselves and some of the other people Jesus was praying for. You could choose your families and friends, as well as our brothers and sisters throughout the world.
