Good morning my gorgeous Robins and Happy Wednesday J
Today I have decided to read you all a poem that I thought was really funny. I hope it makes you smile too:
Teddy made a special appearance in school yesterday. He absolutely loved it and enjoyed running around the playground and field!! Look:

It’s the middle of the week already! I hope you have all had a good week so far and are ready for another busy day! I hope you are also enjoying spending lots of time outdoors where possible… my morning and evening walks with Teddy are my favourite part of the day!
I have attached our timetable with our daily tasks on there. Today I would like you to start or continue with your Ancient Civilisation Study. Choose one of the ancient civilisations and research where, why and when they settled and what they achieved. You could present your findings in a booklet, poster, PowerPoint or video. There are lots of useful links on our Home Learning Timetable to help you.
Have a lovely day! Stay safe and keeping smiling,
Miss Beattie and Mrs Esling xxx
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
