Now as you are creeping closer towards moving into Year 6 where you are at the top of the school and have to be brilliant role models. I thought it would be nice for you to think about if you would like to be a head student next year. To prepare, I thought it would be a good idea for you to think about how a powerful speech is made. Follow the lesson link on this: How to make a powerful speech

Today's riddle: You see me in water, but I never get wet. What am I?

Yesterday's answer: your footsteps

Message from Mrs Powell:

Worship 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.

Take care and have a fun-filled weekend!
