Good morning Primary 7,
I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday and enjoyed the glorious sunshine 
. Thank you to those who sent me over their best memory of their time at St Barbara’s. If you haven’t yet sent me yours over can you please do so today? Remember to either attach it to an email as a word document or just send it as an email.
Let us begin our 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 our day together.
Amen.
I found this Joyful June calendar and thought I would share it with you all as it has some great ideas to promote positivity. 
I am delighted to share some fabulous work that I received from Niamh yesterday. Well done for creating an amazing acrostic poem. It was very informative and positive. 
Remember to send any work that you would like posted on our blog to gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk.

Tuesday 2nd June- This Is Our Faith
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.
Tuesday 2nd June- Health and Wellbeing
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 gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.
Have a terrific Tuesday Primary 7 and I will be back tomorrow morning with more activities for you to complete.
