Good Morning Brown Clee!

First of all I have an apology to make to Polly – as it was her birthday yesterday, and I forgot to post her birthday song!  So I need to put that right first of all!

So a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY POLLY!

And just so I don’t forget it is also Peter’s birthday today! So a massive HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER!

It has been an exceptionally busy week behind the scenes since the announcement last weekend. Hopefully parents will have received my emails with the details of what school will look like for Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 children – and sadly it will be very different to what is normal. However we will make it as safe, and as happy as we possibly can! I would like to say thank you to parents for replying with their views on whether they will be sending their child into school if we open on 1st June – this really helps us with our planning.  But also a massive THANK YOU to all of our families for just being so supportive in so many ways: carrying out the remote learning activities with your children, communicating with teachers and sharing photographs, being so understanding of the challenges that we are facing and being so supportive in general – we really appreciate you all!

There are further challenges ahead, and this is all so unique and new, but we know that by working together, continuing to be the Brown Clee team that we are and that has already achieved so much, we will be able to do the right thing for our children!

Here’s a short video called “Joy and the Carp” that shows the importance of working together, aiming for goals, persevering and simply being kind!

Wishing everyone a restful and wonderful weekend!

Prayer of the Day

Dear God,
Help us to work together as a team.
Help us to show patience and understanding.
May we not be afraid to ask for help.
Please help us to realise that even when we feel alone
you are always on our team.
Amen.
