Lockdown Lowdown
Friday 22nd May 2020
This week's theme is 'crying because we lost.'
Beat the teacher? They certainly did!
Anyway - even with a bit of cheating on the part of the staff members, they still didn't manage to win any of the challenges. Not wishing to admit such an embarrassing defeat, Mr W issued a final 'double or quits' rock, paper, scissors challenge but it was useless and didn't change the final result. The kids did it and wiped the staff out. The staff took it badly I'm afraid - there were tears and tantrums.

Welcome to our fourth (and what may be our final) Lockdown Lowdown!
These are our Superstars this week - nominated by their families to receive a special mention
First the 'Alex' gang!
Alex
Alex
For being brave after breaking his finger during our VE Street party celebrations. He ended up having to go to A&E at York for 2 x rays, never questioned why all the staff were wearing the PPE. He hasn't complained about being in pain since.
Alexander
Samuel
I would really like to nominate Sam for his willingness to learn new skills and wanting to help around the house. Sam has helped with the gardening, watering the plants, has learnt to make scrambled eggs, bake a cake, make a trifle and even change a plug socket!! He has been an absolute star!
Charlotte
Charlie
Oscar
Bethany
Leah
Ellie
Ellie has shown she can be very grown up during lock down and has been helping around the house, laying the table, making lovely food, walking the dog and her favourite, cleaning the bathroom!
Emilie
Emilie has been amazing at giving Rhys his space to focus on his work! She’s been doing her own work for Stars too and has been helping with baking.
Mia
Ruby
For rising to the challenge of lockdown. She has missed her friends terribly and needed a ‘little’ encouragement to work, but has really impressed us this week with her work on fractions. She has also loved taking part in the weekly PE challenges that have been set.
Nathan
I feel so proud of him for that as I have done throughout the lockdown. He has been really good with his brother and continued to show that they really are the best of friends.
Lewis
For never giving up if he is unsure and for working really hard until he fully understands. For being amazing at how he's adapted at this time and I'm so proud of him.
Luke
For trying new things that he wouldn’t usually choose to do such as art, he’s been doing YouTube tutorials and has found that he is actually enjoying it. He’s even learned how to use the hoover and how to sell all his old stuff on eBay to buy fifa points!!
Freya
Megan
We feel Megan deserves a shout out for her continuous hard work. She has accepted the fact she can’t see her friends and has adapted to the new way of working.
Megan has been keen to be involved in helping with household jobs like hanging out the washing and has taken Mr Osborne’s household challenge of tidying drawers to a new level. Both Megan and her Dad have very organised and colour coordinated drawers!!
We are very proud of Megan’s writing this week. Writing is not one of Megan’s favourite activities. She will readily admit this! So we were impressed to see her tackling her writing with determination and taking great care and time over her written work.
And the rest of you...
Stay safe and take care!
Together we shine as one.
