Hello Girls,
I hope you are all well and enjoying the activities. I received some more beautiful imaginative work again last week and I am so delighted

Some activities I will not be collecting, however for others I will be asking you to email me some of your learning where possible- these
will be marked YES in the submission box. If you need to use your parent/ guardians email to do this that is perfectly fine. In order to
submit a picture/ sound clip or document to me, please ensure that you put your name and title of the task in the subject of the email,
so that I know who it is and what is being submitted. I will check my emails every day, please email me your work as soon as you can.
Wishing you good health and happiness over the coming weeks.

Weekly Poem : The Zoo Hail Mary Morning Prayer Night Prayer
At the zoo we saw a bear, he
had long, dark fuzzy hair.
We saw a lion in a cage.
He was in an awful rage.
We saw a big long necked
giraffe and the silly monkeys
made us laugh.
But my favourite animal at the
zoo is the elephant, how about
you?
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Father in heaven, you love me,
You’re with me night and day.
I want to love you always,
In all I do and say.
I’ll try to please you Father.
Bless me through the day.
Amen.
God our Father, I come to say
Thank you for your love today.
Thank you for my family,
And all the friends you give to
me.
Guard me in the dark of night,
And in the morning send your
light. Amen.

Please feel free to use any other internet resources you are aware of. I will update you with additional resources as the weeks go on. I am
conscious of parents becoming overwhelmed with the vast amount of resources that are available, so keep it simple using the above links
for now. The most important thing is to share experiences with your child that are fun, engaging, easy and suit your family’s lifestyle, you
do not need internet sites to achieve this. You are doing a great job already! Please feel free to amend the plan above to suit your home
life.
