Happy Friday Robins!!

And just like that it’s Friday again!!

I am feeling much better today and so I have recorded a little message for you all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSx_h_gu_pQ&feature=youtu.be

The teachers in school have also recorded a special video for Hot Chocolate Friday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIxUWOYwTn0

As we reach the end of another week I want to say how proud I am of you all. Your hard work at home is admirable and you are all so special!

“No one is you. That is what makes you special.”

As it’s Friday, I would like you to end your week with some positive thinking. What has brightened your week or made you smile? What are you most proud of? My favourite thing has been FaceTiming my Nan and Grandad in Ireland. They have only just learnt how to use their iPad so their camera skills weren’t very good, but seeing their faces and hearing their voices made me smile a lot. Why not share what has made you smile with me on Twitter? @LostockGralamPr

Our timetable is linked below for you to have a look at.

Can you remember when we were in school and we created a mind map of things to keep us busy while at home? Why not find your mind map and choose a lovely activity to complete today?

Remember it is Hot Chocolate Friday so curl up with a nice hot choc or your favourite drink and relax. You all deserve it! Remember to give your mums and dads a big cuddle today too… they are working extra hard to make sure you are happy, healthy and learning during these tricky times J

Have a lovely weekend everyone. I will speak to you again on Monday. Stay safe and keep smiling,

Miss Beattie and Mrs Esling xxx

Message from Mrs Powell:

Louis Braille was born in France in 1809 and was three years old when he lost his sight in one eye. By the age of five, he was completely blind. At that time, there was no help available for blind people and many of them would end up begging for food on the streets. Louis’ parents didn’t want that to happen to their son, so they continued to educate him in every way possible.

When Louis was 12 years old, he met an army captain who showed him a way of sending messages at night using raised dots and dashes. Louis saw the potential for a communication system for blind people and, by the age of 15, he had found 63 ways to use a six-dot cell in an area the size of a fingertip. In this way, he created Braille, a form of written language for blind people, which they can ‘read’ by feeling the raised dots of the Braille characters with their fingertips.

Let’s try to be people who have the courage to move forward, no matter what happens. At the same time, let’s remember that there are many people who can help us if we need to talk about our worries.

Prayer

Dear God,

Whether I’m big or whether I’m small,

Sometimes I’ll try to be ever so brave,

And think about what God sees in me

And aim to be the best that I can be.

Amen.
