Hello everyone

I hope you have had a good week and enjoyed the return of the sunshine. It seems strange celebrating VE Day at home and it’s sad not being able to get together with all my family. I know you will be celebrating this special day in different ways whether it be putting up bunting, baking or watching the Queen’s speech and the other commemorative broadcasts on TV.  Whatever you are doing, I hope you are keeping well and staying safe. I hope you have a lovely day and please feel free to email in any pictures of your day!

First News VE Day Edition

And finally…

I’ve had a  lovely week in school with our key workers’ children and other staff. We have been gardening, having some very competitive staff v children table-tennis battles (Miss Carr and Mr Andrews not me!), painting VE Day pebbles with Miss Stone and just generally looking after each other.

All was going well until Thursday morning when I decided to cycle to school rather than walk and, let’s just say, my short journey didn’t go as planned. I fell off my bike on the way to school and ended up at RSH with a fractured humerus.  The NHS staff were absolutely amazing and really looked after me, even though they could have done without it with so much else to do.

My husband has been a star and has been taught how to blow-dry and straighten my hair this morning, much to our amusement!

So the next time I tell the children to be careful during a school holiday, and not to come back with any broken bones, I need to follow my own advice!

Take care everyone and stay safe.

Love Mrs Johnson x
