Good morning and congratulations!

You have completed another term of Year 1. 

WOW! 

What is the date today? Remember to use full sentences.

May is the month of Mary. 
Let’s start our day with a prayer.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.  
Amen.

Happy 6th birthday to Luca A, Oliver M and Martin! 

Have a wonderful day.
