With the hot weather that hopefully we have all been enjoying we are going to look at ways to help us stay hydrated. We know that we need to drink plenty of water and ensure we do that more frequently during hot days.
Another great way to enjoy the hot weather is with a lovely cool Slushie!!
Yum Yum. Below there is a great recipe, with a little bit of science thrown in, that lets you make a slush with your hands!! Yip that is right you don’t need a fancy NutriBullet or a blender, just your hands. So here goes :
Instructions to make a cool mouth-watering smoothie!!
- Place one cup of your chosen juice into a small Ziploc bag and zip tight.
- Place 4 cups of ice and half a cup of salt into a large Ziploc bag along with the juice bag and zip that tight too.
- Shake the large bag over the sink or outside for 2-5 minutes or until the juice bag turns to slush.
- Pour into a cup and enjoy!!
If you have your own recipe/method for making a Slushie please email this along with a picture of your Slushie to gw17mcmullenkenedi@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.

The Feast of Pentecost is a very important celebration in the Church’s year and watching the short clip below will give you a snapshot of the importance of this great celebration.
The Feast of Pentecost is seen as the Birthday of the Church.
The Holy Spirit came to the disciples not only as a reminder that Jesus would always be with them but so that they received the strength and courage to continue to build God’s kingdom, not only in Jerusalem but to ensure it reached the ends of the earth. In John’s Gospel on Sunday we heard not only about Jesus’ word but about Jesus’ action, “he breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit”. Jesus’ breath gives new life, eternal life into the disciples, giving them the courage to go out and spread the word by being given special gifts. Jesus gave them the gift of speaking different languages to be able to carry out his work all over the world.
The Holy Spirit came to us in the Sacrament of Baptism and will or has come again to us in the Sacrament of Confirmation. Talk to an adult about your Baptism/Confirmation(if you have made it yet). Think about all the wonderful gifts God has given us and give thanks to the Lord for all that we have to be glad of. Just like the disciples we give thanks to the Lord of all the gifts he has given us. We are so grateful to God for always being with us.
Have a lovely day boys and girls!
Please get in touch if you have any questions.
