Supporting our local keyworkers

April 27, 2021

Our well being pupil group have been preparing letters to residents of our local care homes.  A Hughes wrote this inspiring piece:

Keep the rules, control the virus, reduce the spread,

It’s all over the news and it’s filling us with dread,

Always in my hoodie, hair too long to quiff,

The fear of having covid every time I sniff,

The world around us almost stood still,

Except for the keyworkers who have a strong will,

Their familiar sounds helping us cope,

Keeping us going and giving us hope,

The bins being collected, deliveries on the street,

The teachers online giving us chances to meet Sirens and flashes of blue and red,

The neighbours cars starting whilst we’re laying in bed,

Men and women working together to find a miracle cure,

Communities combining, giving aid to the poor,

The smell of takeaways on a lockdown run,

Community challenges keeping things fun,

The taste of food from a freshly stocked shelf,

So many helping with our mental health,

Let’s Rise up and thank them and give them support,

To all the unsung heroes proudly together we’ve fought.
