Good morning everyone! I hope you have had a restful half term with your families. I am missing you all very much! I very much hope to see you at school soon!
Today we are going to spend some time catching up and sharing what we have all been doing over the half term holiday!
Calming Time
First, find a quiet space for some calming and reflective time. Have a go at the exercises below to help your mind to feel peaceful and ready for the day ahead.
Try these two calming activities to begin…
Breathing exercises
When we breathe calmly it helps our mind to feel at peace and our bodies to feel relaxed. Choose two breathing exercises HERE. Spend a few minutes on each.
Calming yoga
Finally complete the calm down yoga below.
I hope you are now feeling calm and relaxed!
Task 1
Post on the blog anything you enjoyed doing over half term. Maybe you went for a fun walk, bought a new reading book, or even cooked something new! I would love to hear about what you have been doing!
Task 2
Post on the blog your favourite blog tasks you have enjoyed so far and some ideas for future blog tasks! It is always so helpful listening to your feedback!
I will be back at St Vincent’s today, so I won’t be able to respond to your posts promptly but I will reply to your posts throughout the day!
Birthday Shout Outs!
To the children who have had a birthday since our last Birthday Shout Out!
I hope you had a wonderful day filled with treats! 🙂
Hello Miss Jones! Hello class three!
How are you doing? I hope you are feeling well. My break was fantastic; I went for walks, and even planed some surfinias! And Happy Children’s Day everyone!
Hi Helena,
I am glad you are keeping well! I have been on lots of lovely walks too! 🙂
Task 1:
In half term I have been going to the park and climbing in trees, at Regent’s Park. There is a big, tall tree. When I go to Regent’s Park, I climb that tree. It is sort of tricky to climb but I can still climb very high! We also had picnics at some parks and I played with my friends to with social distancing.
Task 2:
My favourite blog was computing. My suggestion for the future blogs is that we could do more animations on the computers and maybe make some animations based on stories or some jokes or a clip from a film.
I hope to see you all soon!
Hi Clemence! I am glad you have been enjoying tree climbing that’s impressive! It is lovely you have been able to see your friends too. Thanks for your feedback about the blogs, more Computing would be a good idea.
Me and my sisters have become obsessed with Lego I have posted pictures of me and my sisters Harry Potter Collection.We have been going out to the park at 7am each morning for a run as my parents work in the day so we go out early so they can get to their meetings on the internet.We have watched all the Harry Potter movies and we will watch the last one tonight.I hope you are all well and having fun.
Good afternoon Orla, thanks for your picture! Your Harry Potter collection looks amazing! That’s good that you have been getting out for daily walks, it has been lovely weather too hasn’t it!
I am glad to hear you are keeping well.
On Saturday my nephew came over to my house and we made some weird potions (if I said so myself) the ingredients were: 1 Lemon, alot of shaving cream, a lot of washing up liquid, pepper, salt, sugar, sparkling gold paint and the last ingredient is water.
Making potions sounds like great fun Angie, I am glad you have been able to see your family!
