Friday 5 February is Feel Good Friday
th
We are going to have a Feel Good Friday day next week and come off
timetable so that everyone can just stop and catch their breath a little, both in
school and at home. There will be the Inspire PE activity in the morning from
9:15am-10:00am and your class teacher will set an art/DT activity. In the
afternoon, in school will be Outdoor Learning which children at home can join
in with or you can have the afternoon off. We are trying to reduce screen
time for the day, although there will be a whole school assembly at 12noon on Zoom. Remember,
if you do want more structure for the day, Mathletics, Numbots/Rockstars and the BBC Bitesize or
BBC TV are available. A Feel Good Friday Challenge will also be sent out during the week.

Lyra’s Lowry-esque charcoal picture

Hope by Max
I was walking down the streets of London thinking what a better life I could have, when I saw this
picture. It was a girl reaching out for a balloon drawn onto an old grey bridge, next to it, it said
“there is always hope”. The words repeated in my head over and over again. I had hope on my
side I just knew it, I could soon have a roof over my head if I just set my mind to it. I knew what I
had to do, it was like the picture told me, I started to look for some place where I could get some
money to buy some clothes. I looked everywhere to find some old things I could sell for a bit of
money. I was successful and at the end of the day I had enough money to buy myself a suit to
wear for work, I began looking for a job, and after a couple of weeks somebody wanted me at their
car business, and I took the offering. The next morning, I rushed to the trains and I just managed
to jump into it, I thought “after a couple of weeks I could have my own department.” I was very
happy at this point, and my first day of work went brilliant. And all this was only because of a
picture.
There Is Always Hope by Lyra
If you’re hanging over the edge of a cliff,
If you’re moments away from losing your loved ones,
If you’re tumbling down the path of sorrow,
There is always hope
If you’re stood outside the office door awaiting your fate,
If you’re walking up the steps towards your new life,
If you’re standing in the middle of a crowded street,
There is always hope
If you’re stood at the side lines watching your parents grow old,
If you’re stranded in the middle of the ocean,
If your heart is starting to slow,
There is always hope
If you’re stood in the middle of a lonely street,
If you’re making your way to death or to life,
If you’re watching a balloon float into the sky,
Remember
There is always hope.
