A Poem by Alice R
Covid, Covid go away.
We wash our hands everyday.
We stay at home, not at shops
or be caught by cops.
We go on Skype to see our friends,
but we really want this to end.
Sadly the message is not getting through,
but that doesn't keep us blue.
Keeping apart keeps us together.
Nothing can change that not even the weather.
We need to remember we will get through
and there will be joy before its due.
Stay safe!!!
From Alice
Alice wrote this lovely poem for her elderly neighbour and left it on her front door. Tim Richardson, our local MP has also featured Alice's poem on his Facebook page. Well done Alice. How lovely that you are caring for your neigbours!
Wellbeing for everyone in our Community
Below are links for adults and children to help support the wellbeing of everyone in our school community.
Support for Families
Listed below are a number of resources to support you with these new times of isolation at home. Our circumstances have changed: work, life, social, education, financial, fitness, etc… For many we have found ourselves in new and unchartered waters – quite often without our usual social networks of family and friends to support us. We will keep this in the newsletter each week and add to them where required.
