Queen Elizabeth II Condolences

By

With Deepest Sympathy…

On behalf of all of the children, staff, governors, families and wider school community, we would like to take this opportunity to express how deeply saddened and moved we all are after hearing the news of the passing of our wonderful Queen- Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen was a lady that we all admired and respected for her loyal and committed service, she shone like a beacon to others and led the way as a role model to all. She was committed, compassionate and extended a warmth to others during her service as our Queen.

Whilst steadfast in her role and duties as a stateswoman, showing dignity and consistency, Queen Elizabeth was a kind-hearted and loving wife, mother and grandmother who has left a lasting impression upon her country, commonwealth and us all.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be admired and respected for generations to come for the true and inspiring lady that she was. Through our school values of love, learn, grow and inspire we aspire to let our light shine, just as our Queen has done during her 70 years of dedicated service, and will remember her with fondness, admiration and pride.

Gleeson Homes

By

The children had a busy morning visiting the Gleeson Homes site in Blackhall.

Dressed in their hi vis jackets and hard hats off they went into the site.

We were extremely sensible as we walked through the building site to Plot 102.

Paula chatted to us about being safe on the site. We discussed why we were wearing the hi vis jackets and hats.

“We put our hard hats on to keep safe.” Joseph

We got to see some of the machinery that is used on the site.

 

 

Our next job was to have a go at bricklaying.

 

“I like holding the bricks.” Zara

“We stacked the bricks up.” Dollie

The staff and children from Class 1 would like to thank everyone at Gleeson Homes and our volunteers for a fantastic morning.
