21st June - Good morning boys and girls. It's Sunday again and it's also Father's Day! Praying for all dads today especially my own daddy who is with God in Heaven.  

Today we should be having our family fun day! I'd like to thank the Friends of St. Colman's Bann for everything they've done for our school over the years! Have a lovely family fun day, whatever you do. Enjoy!

20th June - Good morning boys and girls. It’s Saturday! It’s also the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This is another name we use to show our devotion to Jesus’ mummy. It reminds us of Mary’s love for Jesus and for God. Today, remember to tell your family how much you love them. Enjoy your weekend. 
 

P.S. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year - that means it has the most hours of sunlight. In the UK it will take place tonight at 10:43pm. The summer solstice marks the end of spring and the start of summer. It will end with the autumn equinox,which falls this year on 22nd September.

19th June - Good morning boys and girls. Today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Why don’t you say your prayer to the Sacred Heart plus a wee prayer of thanks for you and your family. 

It’s also Garfield The Cat Day! He’s an orange/Persian tabby cat. I challenge you today to follow the instructions below to draw a cat. Happy Friday!

18th June - Good morning boys and girls. Today is International Picnic Day! The word “picnic” comes from the French language. Hopefully the weather will brighten up today and you can eat out in the open air with your family! If it rains, sure you can still enjoy it inside! When I was a child we used to sing the teddy bears picnic song-I’ve added it below plus a little teddy bear sharing challenge-it’s good to share! Have a lovely day! 

17th June - Good morning boys and girls. Today is ‘Eat Your Vegetables Day’. 

We all need to eat vegetables as part of our healthy diet. The idea of this day is to encourage us to have a vegetable with every meal, as well as having a vegetable for a snack each day. When we were at school some of you used to eat carrots, cucumber and peppers. Carrots are my favourite vegetable-what’s yours? Your challenge today, is simply to eat your vegetables! Plus, if you wish, there’s a wee PowerPoint quiz below! Enjoy. 

16th June- Good morning boys and girls. I took some photos and video clips yesterday. I put them together to make a little movie. I can’t take credit for the title photo but the rest were all taken by me!See below. 

Today is World Sea Turtle Day! World Sea Turtle Day highlights the importance of and celebrates sea turtles swimming around the world. Sea turtles live in oceans around the world, and some live to be 80-100 years old. There are seven types of sea turtles — green, loggerhead, Kemp’s ridley, olive ridley, hawksbill, flatback and leatherback — and all of them are endangered. Scientists estimate that sea turtles have been swimming around for 110 million years, which makes them as old as dinosaurs! I challenge you today, to find out one interesting fact about sea turtles and write it down. Maybe you could draw one too! 

P.S. It’s also National Fudge Day! My mummy loves fudge! I’m going to try to make some before the end of the week. 

Have a good day everyone! 

15th June - Good morning boys and girls. It’s Nature Photography Day. This day started in North America! Over these past 13 weeks I’ve taken lots of different photos of all the beautiful things in nature: insects, leaves, flowers, trees, animals, even clouds! I’ve taken all those photos using my phone but this week I’m going to take my camera with me when I go out for my walks! Today, I challenge you to go out into your garden or go for a walk and take time to look at and admire all the amazing things in nature. Maybe you could take a photo or two. I’m hoping to see a ladybird! 🐞 Enjoy.
