Good morning everybody! I am sitting in a very quiet school and missing you all desperately so I thought it would be a great idea, until we are all back together again, to run our Monday morning assemblies through the blogs for now and to invite our Foundation children to join us for the first time this year! I will send you a message every Monday morning, share the theme for the week, you can then share your creations and thoughts with me directly and we will then celebrate these ideas together on the blogs on a Friday afternoon – just like we do in our Celebration Assembly in Years 1-4. Please remind your grown-ups that they have an email to help them to support you with your assembly job each week.

So, for this week I wanted to share with you a story that was in the news a few days ago about a project that school children across the country are now taking part in.

While you are reading it with your grown-up, I wanted to share a quote that we often use in our assemblies …

I thought this would be an ideal project for us all to join in with and that your task this week could be to make a rainbow that can be seen from your home along with a message to make your neighbours smile.

Along with pictures of your rainbows this week I would also love to hear of any good news stories that you have found. We can now see ‘interdependence’ so clearly all around us and your grown-up can help you to understand this if this is a new word for you.

I can’t wait to see your photos and to hear your stories (your grown-up will help you to share these with me). It will be almost as good as the smiles and chats we share on the gate! I will reply to any messages that come in and I will share all the highlights in our celebration on Friday.

Take care Team Damers 🙂
