I hope you all enjoyed a break over the weekend and took part in the sports day yesterday. My little girl and I had a parent & toddler race and always she won!
Here are today’s activities. Try to complete what you can.
How are you all? I hope you all had great fun yesterday, I loved seeing the photographs that were shared on Twitter of our Virtual Sports’ Day. If you have pictures and have not yet tweeted them or sent them over, feel free to do so today. I hope you had fun and enjoyed doing something a little bit different.
Today I would like you to start the day with our morning prayer and then say a Hail Mary to continue honouring Our Lady during the month of May. Can you say the Hail Mary in Spanish?
Here is the link for today’s learning activities and some resources to help you complete today’s tasks-

I hope you enjoyed sport’s day yesterday and had plenty of fun! I would like you to keep having fun whilst exercising. Research shows that regular exercise has lots of benefits including:
improving fitness
increasing concentration
building a stronger heart, bones and healthier muscles
encouraging healthy growth and development
improving posture and balance
lowering stress
Encouraging a better night’s sleep
Today we are going to have a Wild Workout with Andy. Andy is off to the Arctic to see what he can find. Let’s join him and exercise on the way!
When Jesus needed to feel very close to his Father, what did he do? – He would pray. Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, before he was betrayed by Judas. He prayed before he raised Lazarus from the dead and Jesus prayed during the Last Supper, before he broke the bread. Like us Jesus needed to share his worries and problems with his heavenly Father; he knew that he was never alone. Just as we are never alone. God is always with us.
When we pray we are having a conversation with God. When we talk to God, he listens. We don’t have to have special times for saying prayers. Often we say them at bedtime but we can talk to God at any time. Do you ever feel unsure about what to say to God? Don’t worry as God our Father likes to hear about everything we have to tell him and he is always ready to listen.
The apostles knew how important it was to pray to God but like us they often felt uncertain about how to pray. One day they asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. What was the prayer that Jesus taught them? – The Our Father.
Watch this short video about how Jesus taught his disciples the Our Father:
Let’s say the Our Father now. I have copied the words to help you if you need it.
I would like you to download the picture below if you can and colour it in. If you can’t download it why not draw a picture like this one.
Please send us a copy of your picture at gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk or Tweet us @St_BarbarasPS.

Good morning everyone and welcome back to another week of home learning.😊
I hope you all had a lovely holiday weekend with your family. I spent my weekend going long walks in the sunshine, it was glorious.☀️
Yesterday was a little different from our normal daily blogs as it was….
I hope you all had a fun-filled day taking part in all of the activities!
These superstars certainly looked like they enjoyed Virtual Sports’ Day.

Let’s get started on today’s activities.
We will begin today as always, with our morning prayer.
God our Father, as we prepare to begin our work, we ask you to help us use properly, the many gifts you have given us, so that we may fully benefit from our day together.

Happy Eid!
Health and Wellbeing…let the fun BEGIN!
Today is Sports’ Day!!! I know it’s different from any sports’ day that we’ve ever had but we can still have lots of fun! So for health and wellbeing today I want you to follow the grid with lots of suggested activities. Don’t worry if you can’t do some activities just adapt them to suit yourselves. The important rule today is to exercise and have FUN!
After all of the fun of Sports’ Day, time to relax and focus on the R.E. tasks below.
During Sunday’s Gospel we heard about Jesus praying for his friends and for us. He wanted us to be one, to be united in love, as closely as Jesus and God the Father are united in love. So, let’s think about how we can be more like that.
After Sunday’s Gospel Father Campbell spoke about how it is now 9 weeks since we have been together in the Church. He spoke about what people were missing about coming together for Mass. These feelings we have about missing things were the same feelings that the disciples felt when Jesus ascended into Heaven. Jesus prayed for his disciples and the disciples prayed to help them be closer to Jesus.
Watch this short video to help us reflect on Sunday’s Gospel.
What could we do to help us be united in love just like Jesus wanted us to be? Perhaps you have a favourite book and could read it to your little brother or sister. Perhaps you enjoy making music; you could play it over the phone for a loved one. Maybe you could do a very helpful thing around the house for your parents without being asked. Today I would like you to pick an act of kindness to do for someone else and help put a big smile on that person’s face! Have a look at some more ideas below:
Now write down your act of kindness inside a heart and decorate it.
Please send your pictures to your teacher’s email address or Tweet us @St_BarbarasPS. We love seeing your pictures.
We all hope that you enjoyed an active, fun day. See you tomorrow!
Good morning, boys and girls and welcome to another week of learning and fun!
As usual, let us start the 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 that you have given us, so that we may fully benefit from our day together at school. St Barbara Pray for us.🙏
