Yesterday, we learnt about Martin Luther King Jn and how he had a dream to change the future. He wanted everybody to be treated equally and fairly. Today, I would like you to think about yourself and how special you are. What makes you unique and special? What makes you different to your friends? Is it your hair colour or your height? Is it the number of brothers and sisters? Your family structure?
Now think about what makes us all different?
We are all humans, people with feelings, hopes and dreams of our own. Watch this video about a happy dancing sheep who is full of beans and the love of life until things change. What messages can you learn from the story?

This video always makes me smile and some of you might have seen it before. The sheep learnt an important lesson thanks to the jackaloupe- what do you think the lesson was? There might be more than one!
I think the sheep learnt that it didn’t matter what he looked like. By dancing and being happy, he brought joy and happiness to his friends. he jackaloupe taught him to be proud of who he was and to be positive in this world of ups and downs.
Have a quiet think about times when you have felt down, sad or lost your confidence. What could you do to help you to ‘bounce back’ and put a smile on your face?
Dear God
Thank you for all the different skills and talents that you have given us.
Help us to make the best use of our skills and be determined to think that we can do good things
Help us to be the best person that we can be
Amen
