Good Morning Brown Clee!

How quickly the weeks go! Another sunny day and I feel it is time to share another beautiful page from Charlie Mackesy’s book “The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse”.

It is so true – everyone is scared, of different things. I think most children (and adults!) in school know that I have an irrational fear of spiders! Ridiculous isn’t it as I am so much bigger than a spider! You might be scared of snakes, heights, the dark or even butterflies!

But there are also different fears and worries – and there is, sadly, a lot of worry about at the moment, and it can be very difficult to see beyond that worry. So I thought this page showing the intricate illustration of the four friends in this book might be helpful, as I think at this moment the whole world is a little bit scared, and we are all in it together. As a school, we have the possibility of being back on June 1st, with 3 year groups, and I will be honest and say that I have worries about it. It will be wonderful to see the children, but I worry about being able to protect and look after everyone (adults included!) in what will be a very different and distant environment. I worry about how the children will manage when not allowed to hug their friends or teachers. But I know I will not be alone, and I know that the brilliant Brown Clee community will be working together to ensure that we all ensure everyone can feel happy and secure. So I will definitely be less scared by us all working together!

So here’s a song about being a team!
