Please find login details and passwords at the front of the exercise book sent home with your child in their pack. If you need login details again please email the school office for support.

If you have any questions please contact use through Class Dojo and we will be happy to help. You can also send photographs and recordings of what you are doing at home. We will continue to award Dojo points and let the winners know at the end of each week.If you are not yet connected on Class Dojo please can you also do so as soon as possible.

Good morning everyone! Well done we have made it to the end of the Spring term.
Remember to send me your Easter egg designs through class dojo and any photographs or work you have done over the past couple of weeks. Have you had a go decorating a boiled egg yet?
Please complete any work from Purple Mash and My Maths online.
Continue to spread hope and write a prayer to say and share. Your prayer could be written on a rainbow which has become a symbol of hope, or on a hand to symbolise our thanks for those who are caring and helping all around the world.
Thank you God for …
We are sorry for …
We pray for …
Amen.
Over the Easter holidays you could also make a what does kindness look like poster. A fantastic example of this can be found below sent by one of Mrs Doherty’s friends.
Resources have been updated below and you can find ‘Journey into Easter with Children’ work to use during Holy Week. Try using your different senses to reflect on the awe and wonder of Gods’ world and take some time for meditation to reflect and appreciate yourselves and the world we live in.
As a family if you miss doing something while you are staying safe at home write it down on some paper and put it in a jar/box so that when it is safe to go out again you can choose something you wanted to do and do it. Remember it is not a ‘no you can’t’- make it into a ‘save it for another day’ to enjoy those magical times together.
Have a lovely Easter break.
Stay Safe!
Mrs Jamil
