Good morning – Hopefully everyone is still well and raring to go for another week at home. Teacher’s have been working hard getting everything ready for you on the Learn@Home section of the school website. There’s plenty to do, but as we always say, every family has different circumstances, so just like in school, do your best. It is so important that you try and stick to a routine. It can be difficult, but it will help. There’s a sample of one saved in every Learn@Home class page. Could be a useful starting point for you. Have you made your bed? Have you scheduled regular breaks? Have you some time for quiet reading? Have you helped with a household chore? Have you completed something creative? I’m sure you can think of lots more.
This week is the first week of the Healthy Kidz Virtual Sports Day. You must register before 6pm today. Go to: https://tinyurl.com/ycszfmwy for all of the details. This is also saved to the News section of our website. I’ll also try to add it to Seesaw. (Fingers crossed!) Events to focus on this week are the sprint and long jump. It’s important to build in exercise every day and this could be a great way of doing something different. There are some excellent tips in the Healthy Kidz booklet. For sprinting remember to move your hands, ‘Lip to Hip.’ The standing long jump is a good one for all of the family to try out. I look forward to hearing about just how well you’ve done and remember there's prizes to be won as well.
Thanks to everyone for your great pictures. I've also seen some of them on Seesaw, but cannot use these on our website. If you'd like to share pics, please e-mail to: info@stpatrickspssaul.downpatrick.ni.sch.uk
Remember to keep praying for those who are sick or alone and those people who are working so hard to look after them. Pray for everyone who is so busy looking after you and still working to ensure we have everything we need. We are so grateful.
Stay safe.

Why can’t you give Elsa a balloon?
Because she will let it go!
