Guten Morgan Goldfinches, 

 I found this link to a lovely book about worries which is well worth a  read.    https://en.calameo.com/read/000777721945cfe5bb9cc?authid=Xu9pcOzU3TQx

Today I thought I would share the video 'When I grow Up' which didn't make the final cut to the big staff video! (It might have something to do with all the back ground sound effects made by my 6 year old cameraman!!!)

Here is an explosive quiz found by one of our very own Goldfinches. How many facts do you know (or can you find out?)

School Jobs: 

English: Use the attached resource to have a go at writing your own setting description using expanded noun phrases. (This is the Bitesize cllip we used on Monday to remind ourselves about Expanded Noun Phrases: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zwwp8mn/articles/z3nfw6f ) 

Times Tables: Play an online game: https://www.timestables.co.uk/12-times-table.html  or use the loop cards from Monday's blog to help you learn your 12 x table. Remember to play TTRockstars each week as the challenges change. I have attached a times table grid for anyone who wants to try and beat their time. 

Mindfulness: This is a lovely guided meditation which helps you to focus on just being calm and still and helps you to focus in on your breathing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk_qU7l-fcU

Have a lovely day, stay safe in the sun with sunhats and suncream- it's going to be hot! 

Bye for now

Message from Mrs Powell:

Today I am going to introduce you to a very special person called Theresa. She lived more than 140 years ago. She was born on 2 January 1873 and died on 30 September 1897, at the young age of 24. Her mother died when Theresa was just four years old, leaving her father with five children to look after. One of her sisters, called Mary, took over running the household, while her eldest sister, Pauline, took charge of telling the younger children about God. When she was 14, Theresa decided that she wanted to dedicate her life to God, so she became a nun (someone who goes to live with others who give their lives to God). Theresa was made a saint in 1925. A 'saint' is a person who is a great example to us because he or she lived a special life and/or had special gifts. Although Theresa didn’t have a very long life, she used every minute she had to care for other people. Her best-known saying is, ‘What matters in life is not great deeds, but great love.’ Theresa became known as someone who would show love to others by doing little things. Sometimes she gave flowers, sometimes she prayed, sometimes she showed love and attention to people who struggled with problems. Theresa knew that she wasn’t physically strong enough to carry out great deeds, but she made a big difference to people’s lives by the little things she did for them. Very often, though, it's the little things that have the greatest effect on people’s lives, the little things which show them someone cares.

Time for reflection

Close your eyes and think about a little thing someone has done for you that made you feel special or happy. It may have been a kind word, asking you to play with them or even giving you a special present.

Decide to do something today that will make someone else feel special. Dear God Thank you for people who do things for me that make me feel happy and loved. Please help me to do something today to show someone that I care about them. Amen
