Whenever you are feeling sad, you can read your little daily notes and remind yourself that although everyday may not feel good, there is something good in every day 🌈.

Ms. Murphy will share photos and ideas from your leaflets with the girls in 2nd class when they start 3rd class in August. Tell them everything you think they should know!

You should include:
  • the most enjoyable aspect of third class
  • the most challenging aspect of third class
  • something to look forward to
  • top tips for success

You can decide what layout you would like to use. It can look like a brochure or a poster. Be creative!

We look forward to seeing your work!

You are invited to bring one piece of artwork/diary entry/short story/poem or photograph to school when we return in the autumn. Your entry will be included in the capsule and enjoyed by children in the future.

If you haven't already, it may be a good idea to think about/create a piece that you would like to include.
We are living through a very significant time in history!]]> 2020-06-17 20:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/katiemurphy2/eavanosullivaneg0f2a0co0ko/wish/631185651 STEM: Make a square bubble katiemurphy2 https://padlet.com/katiemurphy2/eavanosullivaneg0f2a0co0ko/wish/631197433 Have you ever wondered why a bubble is round?

We’re thankful for a compliment, for help with study, for encouragement, for advice with a problem, for good friendships, for fun and laughter.

When we’re grateful, we know we depend on others - for most of the good things in life, and we can’t go it alone. Think for a moment of something you are grateful for; or someone you feel gratitude towards; allow yourself feel the thanks in your heart...

And think of your THANKS to God… Maybe you are grateful for your health, your family, your friends, your faith, your gifts and talents…and above all yourself.

Be grateful this moment for who you are, for the friendships in life, and for the faith you have in God. ]]> 2020-06-18 07:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/katiemurphy2/eavanosullivaneg0f2a0co0ko/wish/631758554
