Week commencing Monday 18th May - Friday 22nd May

Thank you Miss Karla!

Miss Karla has made herself busy, at home, during this pandemic, making scrubs for the staff at the Barts Heart theatre department at St Barts Hospital.  The staff showed their appreciation for Miss Karla's thoughtful, hard work during this difficult time.
​The staff had run out of scrubs and Miss Karla saved the day.
She is our hero!

Last week, I had the opportunity to have a chat with most of you at home. It was lovely to hear your news and know that you are all ok and missing school terribly. During my chats, I noticed a reoccurring theme. Most of you had indulged in lots of cooking and baking. Isabelle C had made pancakes and found that honey and sugar, as a topping, was very tasty. Taigan made a 'Jaffa cake' styled cake which is mum then decorated. Tommy had a barbecue with tasty burgers. Adam had a teddy bear party where all of the teddies had little outfits on. He had music and a lot of fun with his family. Debrias went on a very long bike ride with his family all around London. Nimatu created lots of art at home with her family. Isabelle H took part in baking with her family and had a video call birthday party with her family. Karol has been preparing for his birthday, which is coming up soon. Amaris has spent time playing with her little brother. Alex has been busy keeping active on his bike. Ava has been doing lots of gardening with her family. Paula made donuts with her mum.
She sent us the recipe so that we can try and make them at home.
I most certainly will try!
Lot of you have taken the opportunity to spend time communicating with your family and friends via video calling and messaging.
