Good morning or Zao shàng hao
I hope that everyone is still well. We’ve reached the mid-point of the week and having spoken to a lot of mums and dads (and some children too), over the last number of days, it is getting much more difficult to keep our spirits up and maintain our learning. Perhaps a little change like today’s Newsdesk or Junior Newsdesk can give you something else to do today.
A great article on China. Facts, figures and a little quiz. Miss Li our Mandarin teacher is from China and she has taught our P6s and P7s lots about her home country as well as some of the language – a very difficult one to master.
Junior Newsdesk is brilliant if you’ve got green fingers, or would like to get some. There are some great ideas for planting seeds and you can get some when shopping for weekly groceries. There’s a great selection and it can be great fun planting. I know Adam in P1 is patiently waiting on his sunflower seeds to start growing and Jessica and Aaron have been busy planting as well. Last week’s Afternoon Club from BBCNI had some useful tips for gardening with David Maxwell. Here’s how to make your own pots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txjszbuuhSk Have a wee go yourselves.
There’s also a wee colouring sheet from Mash Direct that you can use to enter their competition. Just upload it to their Facebook page and you could be in with a chance to win a box of Farm Fresh vegetable side dishes, delivered direct to your door!
If you’re still at a loose end, don’t forget to help out at home. Dishes, washing, hoovering, the list is pretty much endless. Make sure mum and dad get to put their feet up. They’ll love it.
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.
Hard to beat yesterday’s joke, but here goes:
Why is it so windy inside Croke Park?
All those fans!
