Good morning Primary 7,
It is marvellous Monday, the sun is shining and we are now in the month of June. This is your final month of Primary 7 and although it is not how we imagined it would be, we are going to try our best to make the most of it!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Wasn’t the weather fabulous? It really lifted my spirits and put a big smile on my face. I really enjoyed going a nice walk in the sunshine. 
Let us begin this beautiful day 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.

Monday 1st June- This Is Our Faith
The Feast of Pentecost – 31 May 2020
“They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak”
“When Pentecost day came round, they had all met in one room, when suddenly they heard what sounded like a powerful wind from heaven, the noise of which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and something appeared to them that seemed like tongues of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak foreign languages as the Spirit gave them the gift of speech.”
The Feast of Pentecost brings to an end the Season of Easter and falls 50 days after Easter Sunday. Pentecost celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit. As we heard in the first reading of how the disciples were all together and how they were afraid now that Jesus had left them. On this day they were given the gift of speaking many different languages so that they could travel far and wide to spread the good news.
We learn that God is always here for us, we just need to ask him for help if we are afraid, worried or feeling lonely. He will answer our prayer and help us. Especially in these times when we are feeling sad about not seeing our friends and families like we use to. God will be by our sides to guide us through to better times.
Above you will see an image of Pentecost. There are important symbols that are associated with Pentecost – we can read about them in the extract above from the Acts of the Apostles. We also saw Father Campbell in his red vestments when watching Mass yesterday.
For today’s task I would like you to design your own Pentecost poster incorporating some of the important symbols of Pentecost. This poster will remind us that the Holy Spirit is with us in everything we do. Please email your poster to gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.
Monday 1st June- Health and Wellbeing
Over the weekend hopefully we were all able to go visit a member of our family! This has been something we have taken for granted all of our lives (as we probably did this every weekend or more). From Friday onward this has been a very special time for many. Hopefully your family don’t live too far away and you have been able to spend some time with them. It must have been a great feeling to spend time, in our gardens, with loved ones.
How it has lifted all our spirits and given us such a positive boast. If you were able to visit someone you have not seen during Lockdown you will know this feeling. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer until we can see all of our family.
Today is also a new month/season JUNE begins our three months of SUMMER, can you believe it!! This too should make us feel more positive as hopefully we have lovely weather.
How positive did this little visit have on us. Being positive makes our world a better place and after all the changes that have happened over the last few months, we will begin to see a brighter, happier, and more POSITIVE future ahead.
I would like you to take the word POSITIVE and write an acrostic poem. (Remember you take the word POSITIVE and in large letters you write it down the left-hand side of your page and then write a word/sentence that begins with each letter of POSITIVE).
Here is an example for the word Welcome to let you see how your poem should look.
You can email your poem to gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.
Now to keep that positive vibe going let’s try a little Zumba.
Remember to have plenty of drinks throughout the day. It’s going to be another hot day and we need to stay hydrated!! Watch out for tomorrow’s post to give you another idea for keeping hydrated!!
Please remember to send me over any completed work so that I can share some of your wonderful work on our Primary 7 GLOW homepage. We want everyone to see how amazing the Primary 7 pupils of St Barbara’s Primary School really are!
Have another fantastic day boys and girls and remember if you need me, for anything at all, please do not hesitate to contact me at gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk.
Smiles all around as the sun is shining bright!
Mrs Butler
