Good morning Primary 7,<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Wasn\u2019t 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. \"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Let us begin this beautiful day with our morning prayer.<\/p>\n

God our Father<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As we prepare to begin our work<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We ask you to help us to use properly the many gifts you have given us<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So that we may fully benefit from out day together.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Amen.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Feast of Pentecost \u2013 31 May 2020<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThey were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Feast of Pentecost brings to an end the Season of Easter and falls 50 days after Easter Sunday.\u00a0 Pentecost celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 He will answer our prayer and help us.\u00a0 Especially in these times when we are feeling sad about not seeing our friends and families like we use to.\u00a0 God will be by our sides to guide us through to better times.<\/p>\n

Above you will see an image of Pentecost.\u00a0 There are important symbols that are associated with Pentecost \u2013 we can read about them in the extract above from the Acts of the Apostles.\u00a0 \u00a0We also saw Father Campbell in his red vestments when watching Mass yesterday.<\/p>\n

For today\u2019s task I would like you to design your own Pentecost poster incorporating some of the important symbols of Pentecost.\u00a0 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 <\/strong>or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.<\/p>\n

Monday 1st<\/sup> June- Health and Wellbeing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the weekend hopefully we were all able to go visit a member of our family!\u00a0 This has been something we have taken for granted all of our lives (as we probably did this every weekend or more).\u00a0 From Friday onward this has been a very special time for many.\u00a0 Hopefully your family don\u2019t live too far away and you have been able to spend some time with them.\u00a0 It must have been a great feeling to spend time, in our gardens, with loved ones.<\/p>\n

How it has lifted all our spirits and given us such a positive boast.\u00a0 If you were able to visit someone you have not seen during Lockdown you will know this feeling.\u00a0 Hopefully it won\u2019t be too much longer until we can see all of our family.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How positive did this little visit have on us.\u00a0 Being positive makes our world a better place and after all the changes that have happened over the last few months, \u00a0we will begin to see a brighter, happier, and more POSITIVE future ahead.<\/p>\n

I would like you to take the word POSITIVE and write an acrostic poem.\u00a0 (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).<\/p>\n

Here is an example for the word Welcome to let you see how your poem should look.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can email your poem to gw13reidsiobhan@glow.sch.uk <\/b>or upload it onto Twitter with an adult’s permission.<\/p>\n

Now to keep that positive vibe going let\u2019s try a little Zumba.<\/p>\n
