Shopping list
Today I would like you to write a shopping list of 5 things that you need to buy for your house. Ask an adult to help you as they will know what is needed. Then I would like you to use a supermarket website to research and find out how much each thing costs. As we can’t go shopping we just have to use our imagination for this today. Once you find out how much it costs. Try to write down the coins that you would need to make this amount. Don’t worry if you find this tricky, I am looking for you to challenge yourself.

Good Morning everyone. Can you believe that it is June already? The months are going so quickly. I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the gorgeous weather we are having. I hope you managed to see some friends and family now that lockdown has eased slightly. Mr Cryans, Charlie and I visited my Mum and Dad for the first time since lockdown began and we had lots of fun in their garden.
We are going to have a bit of a different week this week. I have been inspired by the SpaceX mission that launched at the weekend. The launch was so exciting so I thought we could have a Space themed week.

International Space Station Tour.
- The SpaceX mission is taking supplies to the astronauts working at the International Space Station. The International Space Station is was built to be a space environment research laboratory and observatory, where crew members could conduct experiments in many scientific fields including: biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, and meteorology. The station also provides valuable opportunities to test spacecraft systems and equipment and act as a staging base for possible missions to the Moon or Mars.

R.E
Although we are having a space themed week, we cannot forget that Pentecost was celebrated on Sunday.
In Sunday’s Gospel we hear how Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be with the disciples, to help them be brave enough to share God’s message with others. Let’s think a bit about what the Holy Spirit does in our lives today.
Gospel: John 20:19-23
It was late that Sunday evening, and the disciples were gathered together behind locked doors, because they were afraid of the Jewish authorities. Then Jesus came and stood among them. “Peace be with you,” he said. After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so I send you.” Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive people’s sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Gospel reflection
Think carefully about what you have read and discuss these questions with someone at home.
Suddenly Jesus appeared to them. What did Jesus say to the disciples?
And how did the disciples feel when they saw Jesus again?
What happened next?
The disciples had been sad, lonely and frightened. How do you think they felt after Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit onto them?
The Holy Spirit gives the disciples the courage to see that they can do what Jesus asks of them.
What does Jesus ask us to do? How does Jesus want us to behave and to treat other people?
Can you think how you might do this? And how does the Holy Spirit help us?
The Holy Spirit gives us the courage to answer Jesus’ call, to do what God asks of us even when it is difficult. We each answer that call in a different way, but the Holy Spirit helps and guides us along the way.
This week let’s try to notice the Holy Spirit in our lives, helping us to be brave, and helping us to spread Jesus’ message of peace in our world.
Keep Making Us Proud!
Good morning everyone. Only 4 more weeks to go! Let’s keep working together and living out our School Values. Keep making us proud and of course keep smiling. Love Mrs. Rowley. xx
