Tuesday 2nd June 2020
Good morning and welcome back.
It truly feels like the summer holidays! What a scorcher that was yesterday. On days like that it is probably wise to set things to one side and enjoy it. Don’t feel guilty – enjoy it while it’s here if you can and make the most of it. Please ensure you’ve plenty of sun cream on when you’re outside and reapply if you wash your hands frequently too.
Yesterday I mentioned that we’re encouraging you to try and keep a routine now that we are into the 10th week of learning at home. It’s harder than ever, so do your best. Have you set a wee goal for the week?
Remember to let your teachers see what you’ve been up to on Seesaw. If you’re having any difficulties, contact the school office. Any issues with devices or getting online, please let us know as well. Tel. 02844614145 We’ll do our best to help you out.
Week 4 of Healthy Kidz Virtual Sports Day and our events are Marathon Challenge and Create your own Obstacle Course. Instructions are on the school website under the Children’s tab.
An extra resource worth looking at is the Autism Centre website. Based in Middletown, they have some excellent information for use with children of all ages. There is a link on Learn@Home. https://www.middletownautism.com/covid19
P4, P5, P6, P7 have been working on Mathletics and a large number have received their first certificates. Well done everyone. P3 received their login details yesterday via Seesaw. We are learning how it works as you complete the assigned tasks, so bear with us please. Some children have not logged in yet and we need them to do so before the end of this week.
Accelerated Reader is still available for the P4-P7 children. While there have been many of you taking quizzes, a number have not and we need you to do so before the end of term. If you’re having issues logging in, use the information on our website to help. You must use the link specific to our school: https://ukhosted6.renlearn.co.uk/2124881/Public/RPM/Login/Login.aspx?srcID=s
Thanks to everyone for your great pictures. Send us a photo please. 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.
Today’s joke:
What is red and smells like blue paint?
Red paint.
As you can guess with this joke, I’m struggling. If you have a joke that you think we could share, please send it in.
