I hope that you have had a lovely weekend with your families and have been enjoying the beautiful sunshine. It was really lovely to see all of your smiling faces again during our Zoom call and I can’t wait for next time! I have continued to enjoy seeing lots of the learning and activities which you have been completing at home. If you would like to share anything which you have completed at home then don’t forget to send it to the school admin email address. admin@holyfamilysalemoor.co.ukThis week, I have included some information at the bottom of our learning grid about our Sports Day which will be happening in a slightly different way this year. Again don’t forget to share lots of pictures of you taking part at home and I am sure that Jess would love to see them too.

Take care, stay safe and enjoy your learning. Love fromMrs Holland

Art This year Children’s Art Week will take place online, at home and in schools across three weeks in June and July. Each week will focus on a special theme. They start this week! Take a look below at this week’s activity:

Week 1- The Natural WorldUsing materials from around the home — from empty card board packaging to old clothes or craft materials such as paint — make some super British Wild Animals that you can use as a window display or perhaps even turn into stick puppets. The animals are based on three British wild animals: the red squirrel, badger and hedgehog. This activity is aimed at children and families and includes lots of ideas of how to add and adapt the activity to suit whoever is taking part. Use the pack provided on a separate PDF.

Take photographs of your British Wild Animals and send them to:  admin@holyfamilysalemoor.co.uk I can’t wait to see them!

P.S.H.E. HAPPINESS IS… Think about the science of happiness; our brains are in charge of our feelings and emotions and release ‘feel good’ chemicals. The fantastic news is that there are things we can all do to trigger our brains to release these ‘feel good’ chemicals. Think about what makes you happy. Different things make different people happy, these could be spending time with your family, listening to music, going on holiday, being part of a club or doing a hobby, working hard to achieve a goal?

Create a poem titled Happiness is……
