Hi girls and boys,
I hope you all had a lovely week and managed to get outside in the fresh air even though the sun was gone! We only have a few weeks left of school work until you are on holidays so try your best for these last few weeks and send me on any work that you do!
Here is the work for the week, as usual it is a list of suggestions so don't feel under pressure to do it, just do whatever you feel you can do.
Send me a message on Class Dojo or on my email (jennifer.healy@warrenmountprimary.com) if you need any help with anything or you just want to say hi!
Have a great week.
Talk soon,
Ms. Healy

*I hope you are all still keeping a journal of things you are grateful for, if not then take time to do this a couple of times a week.
It is important to discuss our emotions. It's also really good to take some time to think about the times when we feel positive emotions. We start to remember different moments that make us feel happy.
*This week I want you to write down one time during your week that you felt calm, grateful and loved - Where were you at the time? What were you doing? Who was with you?
Here is a list of 50 enjoyable ways to take a little break if you feel like you need one.

*Ask someone to call these sentences out to you and practice writing them down correctly.
*Sound out each word and try to spell it correctly.
