Good Morning Flourishing Fives!
As usual we will 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.
Let’s move with Health and Wellbeing!
Yesterday we had a look at making healthy snacks and the skills you need to create something delicious in the kitchen.
Today as we get closer to Sports’ Day next Tuesday, let’s be a little more energetic with a dance and then some yoga!

To begin we’ll have a look at some more fantastic work from Primary 5.
Natasha gave us a wonderful tourist guide to Paris yesterday. Today she’s on her travels to Madrid!

I have never been there – but Natasha has persuaded me to visit in the future.
Meanwhile, Charlie W. has been busy with some Collective Nouns. He has created an Army of Caterpillars. Have a look!

R.E.
Yesterday we were looking at the Ten Commandments and Jesus’ message to,
‘Love one another as I have loved you.’
I asked you to think about your families and how much you love them. I also reminded you that Pope Francis has told us all to care for others, ‘No ifs, no buts!’
Today I would like to think about the people living in the same house as you; there might be two of you, there might be six of you! It doesn’t matter. Now I would like you to think of FIVE little things that you could do this week for those in your home. It could be that you set the table, make your bed, clear up after a meal, make someone a cup of tea or even take the vacuum cleaner for a walk!
When you have selected five things, draw some heart shapes and inside each, draw or write your tasks. You can make some extra hearts for decoration. Colour or decorate them carefully. Next make a circle wreath-shape like the picture below or if you have a paper plate, use that. Attach your heart shapes and display your Caring Wreath somewhere you can see it easily. Carry out your tasks this week and show that you care – no ifs, no buts!
Please email your Caring Wreath to (Teacher GLOW email) or, with an adult’s permission, upload them on to Twitter @St_BarbarasPS and to Pope Francis’ Twitter @Pontifex
Please select one or two tasks from the grid….then you’re finished for the day!
I hope that you enjoy the rest of your day. See you tomorrow.
