May is normally walk to school month, but unfortunately we are at home. This means it is even more important to stay active!

Living with a healthy lifestyle, eating lots of fruit and vegetables, drinking eight cups of water and doing some physical exercise is all an excellent way of staying positive and helping our mental health.

This month, I have a challenge for you all…

Active May Challenge

Everyday their is a physical challenge for you to complete, for each day in May. There is a bronze, silver and gold challenge. If you complete one everyday of May you can come into school and collect your bronze, silver or GOLD certificate!

Good luck, and lets get active!

As we move into the month of May, it is time for our value to change.
This month our value is unity.

Unity Value for May

Unity means we are all one; all the parts coming together and that is what we are needing to do. We are a strong team, the St. Anne’s family, and during these tricky times it is important that we come together and care for each other. We are more powerful together, looking out for each other.

Have you checked to see if your friends and family are okay? This month try and put a smile on 10 people’s faces through giving them a ring or a facetime.

To all our families, Ramadan Kareem “May Ramadan be generous to you.”

This is a hard time not to spend and celebrate with your friends and family but we hope the celebrations continue none-the-less.

For all the children who don’t know as much about Ramadan, why don’t you read this story or watch the video to learn some more:

Rameena’s Ramadan Story

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/23286976

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim, Islamic calendar, a religious event and month of fasting that is considered to be one of the Five Pillars of Islam. During the month of Ramadan, adult Muslims fast from dusk until dawn. This time spent fasting is meant to be used for prayer, charity, spirituality, and for purifying the mind and body. The actual beginning of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the new moon, or astronomical calculations.

Why don’t you have a go at making some moon sighting binoculars?
