Good afternoon everybody! (The chickens and I are sitting together in the Peace Orchard waiting to see if we can hear you all saying your good afternoon back just like you do in our assemblies at school!)
You have all made me smile so much this week with your amazing rainbows and tales of interdependence within our community. I have heard about …
- Rainbow tuned bells being played and heard by some very happy neighbours
- Children and families cheering up neighbours with food, chocolates, and messages via skype
- Children setting up virtual nail painting salons
- Trumpet playing through the window of granny and grandad’s house
- Electronic messages being sent to our friends in care homes
- Families helping to ensure that our vulnerable neighbours or the homeless have enough food
- Children having their haircut for The Little Princess Trust
- Cake baking and rainbow painting for parents who work at the hospital
- Helping supermarket staff to collect boxes
- One little boy playing his violin in the sunshine to give his neighbours a moment of joy (- he played Mozart’s ‘La ci darem la mano’ which means ‘There we will give each other our hands’)
- Children spotting the tiny changes that are happening outdoors every day and sharing images of the wonders of nature with family and friends
- And finally, all those that joined in with our show of support for our key workers last night at 8.00 pm
Amazing efforts from you all and I think you will all enjoy looking at everyone’s rainbows. They have also brought incredible joy to our community this week …
I have also filmed a story for you with the help of the wonderful Miss Barnes. We have included pictures as it is a longer story but I wonder if you can work out why I chose this story this week?
Keep shining out like the little beacons of light in the Mousehole harbour everyone, stay sheltered and safe and have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Smith ☺️
