Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.
You lot are BANANAS!! Your pictures really made my day, they really did. I loved all the banana smiles and the banana cakes, muffins and even banana face masks!! It’s lovely seeing you all. 😀😀
It’s Friday today and another end to the week and another week closer to us all being together again. Have a fun Friday. Don’t forget, extra play at 2.15.
Thank you for all making my day brighter.

Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.
I hope you are well and you had a good day yesterday. It’s Thursday today. Sometimes I completely forget what day it is. How funny is that? I bet it is the same for you and your mams and dads too.
I broke my glasses a couple of days ago, and you all know how much I need them. My optician is shut but the web site gave me a number to ring. I was on hold for 37 minutes listening to some very boring music. I was really impatient and told my girls that I was going bananas listening to the music. So, while I was listening, I thought about the saying ‘going bananas’. I bet some of you are ‘Going Bananas in your houses’.
Those poor bananas, they did nothing bad to us!
They are bright yellow which is a cheerful, happy and positive colour. They grow in the shape of a smile. (If you hold one across your face you will have a big yellow smile). Next, they also grow in bunches which are called hands, just like your family, all there to give each other a helping hand. Finally, bananas are filled with energy….just like you all. So maybe ‘Going Bananas’ isn’t that bad!
So, have a Bunch of Bananas Thursday!!
My One Stop didn’t have any bananas so I had to improvise. Lets see yours!

Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again,
I hope you had a top Tuesday and are looking forward to today. I know lots of you saw the video of all of your teachers doing silly things at home. We hope you enjoyed seeing it, we enjoyed making it too.
It was my turn in school today. Mrs Keighery made rainbow butterflies. Miss Marshall and Mrs Stelling made origami spring flowers. Miss Folan and Mrs Alcock did spring songs. Then Mrs Davies made mince pie for lunch!
After lunch we all played a quick game of hide and seek in the nursery garden. Except it was the children who had to count and the teachers who had to hide. Mrs Stelling and Miss Marshall put me into the nursery blue barrell. It was a really good hiding spot, nobody found me. Except eventually, I had to shout for help as I couldn’t get out! The children all laughed and so did the teachers.
I am missing you all and can’t wait to see all of you soon.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

This term, we were going to be looking forward to celebrating the Pyjamarama festival with
the Book Trust. This was supposed to be a day of enjoying reading for pleasure and
celebrating the great bedtime story (all completed in your pyjamas!) Instead, Book Trust
have created a ‘Pyjamarama at Home’ celebration for you to all get involved with. The
festival is being held on Friday 1 st May and we’d love for you all to be a part of it. There will
be lots happening throughout the day on the Book Trust website, including challenges,
quizzes, stories and interviews with authors. You can find everything you need to know
here: www.booktrust.org.uk/pyjamarama
We would love to see how you and your family celebrate the Pyjamarama so please post a
photo of what you get up to (extra points for pyjamas!) Perhaps the whole family could get
cosied up together to share a bedtime story or re-enact a scene from a favourite book. We
can’t wait to see you getting involved! Enjoy!
Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.
I hope you had a good day yesterday. It’s Tuesday today, so if we were all in school, it would be Apple Assembly and House Assembly. So usually I pop into Nursery to say “Good morning” to Blue Group, Green Group and Red Group…So Good morning Nursery! Then it’s to the hall for Apple Assembly to give out the certificates for being kind and helpful. Receptions Red certificates, Y1 Yellow and Y2 Blue. Get your foot ready, take a step forward and smile. Let’s give everyone a clap. Then it’s out of the hall for infants and into the hall comes the Juniors for House Assembly. Who is going to win this month? Come on, House captains let’s put up the scores. Now let’s give all the individual certificates out and let’s do one final count. I wonder who would have won and got extra play on Friday. Shall we all have extra play on Friday at about 2.15.
Have a top Tuesday

Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.
I hope you are all well and enjoyed the weekend. It was a year ago since the 30th anniversary celebrations. So Mortimer Primary has just had its 31st birthday. Can you remember all the preparations we did before the big day. We made banners and flags in school. Can you remember when the older children had a younger child to look after and the one big rule was DO NOT LET GO OF THEIR HAND. I was really worried about so many things. Then when I thought I’d worried about everything I could worry about, I discovered it was bin day on Mortimer Road!
On the Friday morning, the sun was out, the sky was blue, the bins had been emptied early, the road was closed, the piper was ready and so were we. Off we went. There were so many parents all the way along Mortimer Road and so many residents looking out of their windows. All the way to the end of Mortimer Road, then all the way back to school. Then we sang Happy Birthday to Mortimer.Can you remember the afternoon we enjoyed having a huge picnic in the sun.
What a lovely day! I’m sure there will be lots more celebrations to look forward to when things get back to normal.
Remember to keep an eye on your school work and keep the reading going. The photos of the book covers were great. I was really impressed and some of them made me chuckle. Can you imagine what my neighbours were thinking as I climbed into the tree for my photo? Haha. If you have not seen them, have a look on the website.
Have a marvellous Monday. As our Monday song goes, ‘We’re in it together today.’
