Whole School Wellbeing Activity.
Each week we will have a social, emotional or wellbeing activity. You can do this at any time during the week. They are not long activities.
This weeks activity is on Gratitude. Watch the clip, do the activity and send in a photo.
Parents can also send in photos of themselves too :)
This is a nice reflection of what we have to be thankful for, especially in the current circumstances.
Please feel free to email me at school if you have any questions, queries and or concerns as we are all in this together.
NOTE: I will be unavailable this Thursday 23rd as I will be in a meeting until 9.30am.

Mass – Hefting
Watch Bert and Ernie
Poor Bert! L Ernie and Bert were hefting, which means that they were holding an object in their hands to decide if it is heavy or light. We usually hold the object on a flat hand and we can put an object on each hand at the same time to decide which is heavier or lighter. Today you will need a shoe. Heft it, is it heavy or light? Find 5 things in your house that are heavier and 5 things that are lighter than your shoe when you heft them. Draw a picture in your maths book of what you found. Hop onto Google Meet and show Ms D what you found and how you correctly heft items. (This will be an individual meeting, so if I reject your request to join the meeting, please try back a little later).
