Week 8 – A letter from Mrs Cunningham (Thursday)

14th May 2020A Stelling

Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.

I loved your choice of musicals from Tuesday. I have watched nearly all of them. What great choices!
I have been learning how to do Zoom meetings lately. I had a Zoom meeting yesterday with Mr Bennett. Guess who else wanted to join? Yes, you’ve guessed it….Sammy. I had to put him in the garden, so he jumped up on the window sill and stared at me. I honestly think he feels he should have been included. I then went for a little walk after work. The sky was blue and the sea had lots of waves and white horses. There were a few others out walking and on bikes too. Hopefully you will be able to get out for a little walk or even a bike ride with your family.
See you all soon and have a Thoroughly Thrilling Thursday.
Mrs Cunningham

Week 8 – A letter from Mrs Cunningham (Wednesday)

13th May 2020A Stelling

Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.

Now you know how much I like all things maths. Numbers, puzzles, problems and facts. I was reading a few yesterday and thought I would share a few with you. They are kind of rainbow in the clouds and  are all good number facts that have come about since lockdown. So did you know:36% of people are exercising more. 39% of people have contacted their family more often and 40% of people have said they have spoken to their neighbours for the first time. There are dolphins in Venice and swans in Milan for the first time.Carbon dioxide levels have fallen by 40% making the air cleaner that it has been in a long time. Moles, who are usually very secretive little animals have been spotted out and about. Thousands of turtles have reclaimed the beaches in Brazil, while a group of goats have taken over a town in Wales and a herd of deer have taken to a patch of grass in the middle of London. Look up at the sky tonight, because of the clean air we apparently can see more stars than usual… about 3,000!! Wow.
Have a wondrous Wednesday.
Mrs Cunningham

Week 8: A letter from Mrs Cunningham (Tuesday)

12th May 2020A Stelling

Hello again it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.

I’m sure you are all the same and have had a few debates with your family over the last few weeks. Yesterday in the Cunningham house, was ‘Name your favourite musical song’, Mr Cunningham could not choose but eventually decided on ‘something you will find out later.  Rachel’s is Les Miserables ‘Do you Hear the People Sing”.  Louise couldn’t decide between any Mama Mia song so she wanted them all. Sammy wanted The Circle of Life. Mine is Oliver Twist, “Who will buy?”

Mr Cunningham and Mrs Cunningham too.

11.5.20 Update

Following the announcement last night, we await the promised additional guidance from the government and Mrs Cunningham will be meeting with local authority advisors tomorrow.
Based upon the information given, we will then form a plan for the phased reopening of the school, if safe to do so, from the 1st June.
We will keep you up to date on this process and the implications of any potential reopening for reception, year 1 and year 6.
Currently, we remain open ONLY for key worker families, where keeping children at home is not possible.
Thanks for your continuing support in these challenging times.
Stay safe.

 

Week 8: A letter from Mrs Cunningham (Monday)

11th May 2020A Stelling

Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.

I hope you have all had a good weekend. It was the VE Day Celebrations on Friday. Miss Middleton was in charge of school and along with the other teachers that day, she organised an ‘old fashioned 1940’s party’. I popped in for lunch. Mrs Davies made an old fashioned tea party with jelly and ice cream and  camouflage biscuits too. Did you have a street party? I did. We all had to sit in our own driveways. We had scones with cream and jam. There was music, a quiz and a game where we had to make a paper plane and fly it the furthest. The best bit was when we all sang together. The song was ‘We’ll Meet  Again’, it was originally sung by a lady called Vera Lynn for the people during the war, to make sure everyone knew that we would all be together and see each other again, but no one knew exactly when. I think that message is so important today. We will all be together again, you will all be playing in the yard with your friends, going to birthday parties, seeing your nanas and grandas and doing your after school clubs, but we are not sure when. Vera Lynn is 103 and has lived through lots of things. If anyone knows what she is talking about, it is her!
Have a marvellous Monday
Mrs Cunningham

10.5.20 Quick Update

10th May 2020Mr Bennett
I hope you’ve have a lovely weekend despite the challenges of the situation. Just a few things to mention…
There have been issues with the Free School Meal voucher website. The website would not accept Monday or Tuesday’s date so vouchers have been uploaded for Wednesday. So please don’t panic if you don’t receive your vouchers till then. Apologies but the system is out of our control.
As we all wait for Boris to deliver his update this evening, let me remind you that we will continue to update you as soon as we can with any changes to the service we can offer. In the mean time, thank you for only using our service where absolutely necessary. We are primed to continue the new normal service next week.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Thanks for your continuing support.
Stay safe.

Week 7 – A letter from Mrs Cunningham (Friday)

8th May 2020A Stelling

Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.

How are lunchtimes in your houses? Mine start at about 10.30 with my girls asking what is for lunch? I have been in touch with your lovely lunchtime assistants and they have shared a few stories with me.

Miss Curtis is missing your hugs but has been keeping herself busy by doing lots of walking.

Mrs Scott says she is missing all of her lovely nursery children! She hopes you are all eating your dinners at home as much as you do at school! It’s fishy Friday today and she knows how much you all love fishy Fridays! She’s been very busy making and colouring in flags with her two sons for VE Day and baking cakes. She says stay safe and she hopes she will see you all soon.

Miss Hart has been sunbathing and is looking forward to seeing you all.

Mrs Taylor (with the dark hair) has been reading books and taking her dog Ollie out for walks. She told me that he ate a sock and the vet had to make him better. YUK, imagine eating a sock?

Mrs Townsend is missing all of your cute faces and hopes you are keeping busy playing on your bikes, cooking and enjoying time with your mams and dads. She has been walking Ruby her dog along with Emily her daughter.

Mrs Taylor (the blonde one) has been enjoying watching you all on face book and missing Mrs Catchpole’s class wondering which Mrs Taylor it is and Mrs Peacock’s class and Miss Beatie’s dancing around. Mrs Taylor’s son is 16 today so they are having a BBQ. She has walked her dog Miley with her granddaughter Heidi. She misses you all.

Mrs Dykes is missing Year 2. But she has been busy cycling, reading and doing lots of puzzles. She really misses you all.

Mrs Bailey is missing all of Year 3. So far she has read two books and just started her third and is going to continue reading as she had forgotten how good it is. Mr Bailey is doing the homework while she has been walking and has had a busy day baking for her VE day tomorrow. She is looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Mrs Foster is missing her lovely Y4 Children and wonders if you have grown taller. I bet you have. She has been catching up on jobs that she has been putting off . She says to keep smiling and that she loves you all and will see you soon.

Mrs Brotherton has been missing all of the children and has been riding on her bike to stay fit, and taking Chloe and Pippa with her! She has been trying very hard to keep up with the girls’ school work, and has learnt some new things herself!

Mrs Morgan, Mrs Cummings, Mrs Brown, Mrs Meeks and Miss Maddison all send their wishes too and are really missing playing on the yard and the all weather pitch with you, and can’t wait to see you all.

Happy lunchtime and give your lovely dinner ladies a thought.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Mrs Cunningham

Week 7 – A letter from Mrs Cunningham (Thursday)

7th May 2020A Stelling

Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.

I hope you had a wonderful Wednesday. Oh my!  I’m loving the things you are posting on Facebook. I laughed at all the things going on in the background.  I think I might be out of a job as you are all doing such a good job! I have even seen my assembly done better than me!   I was in school today. We wrote instructions for a war time recipe, had some war time maths, then one of our mams delivered us teachers a delicious Thai lunch, then we had a wartime jive this afternoon. 

Home now and writing this and thinking about you all. 

Have a Thabulous Thursday (I’m running out of adjectives)

  

Mrs Cunningham

 

Week 7: A letter from Mrs Cunningham (Wednesday)

6th May 2020A Stelling

Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.

I hope you had a top Tuesday and did something kind after watching the animation. I bet you did not expect the heron to be feeding her babies. I thought she was just being greedy. Sometimes you need to know the whole story before you make your mind up about someone or something they did. It’s called seeing the bigger picture. 

Oh, I loved looking at all of your artwork. Well done to the winners too. Every single one was so good. It’s lovely to see that we are all thinking about each other. Some of your teacher pictures were so life-like!! Well done!!

I have been working from home today. Lots of emails and phone calls. I know lots of your mams and dads are doing the same. This next part is for them. Gone are the days of Tinky Winky and Dipsy, it’s now the Kardashians in the background. Help! Who is in the background for you? Is it Peppa Pig? Masha and the Bear? Thomas the Tank Engine? or Bing Bunny? Good luck!

Have a wonderful Wednesday 

Mrs Cunningham
