First + Second Class - Ms Coyne May 25th- 29th

Hello girls and boys

I hope you are all keeping safe and well. It was lovely to chat to some of your parents this week during book collections and hear how you’ve been getting on at home. It sounds like you have all been making such a huge effort at your home learning and I am so proud of you. Here are some of this weeks activities for you to try. Give as many of the activities as you can a go, see what you get done. If you have any questions or you would like to send me on any work your child has completed you can send it tochloe.coyne@warrenmountprimary.com. I know some of you had trouble sending emails previously but it should be back working again.

Just a remainder - If you go out to any other teachers then don't forget to check their pages too.

Stay safe and chat to you all soon

Ms. Coyne

SESE:

We are all living through history right now so why not make something for yourself that you can keep and look back on.

Make your own Covid- 19 Time Capsule.

See below some ideas for you to put into your time capsule.

Do these activities on some sheets of paper and you can add to them over the next few weeks.

At the end you can staple them all together and put it somewhere safe so you can look back on it later.

SPHE:

I hope you had the chance to think & write about some times when you felt calm/ grateful/ inspired/ amazed and loved last week.

It is very healthy for us 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.
