Good morning…!
Messages to brighten your day!
Thanks again, everyone!
Rainbows To Brighten Your Day!
The school railings are looking so colourful with all your beautiful pictures – the messages of thanks to our front line workers are so lovely too. It was great to see people reading them this morning as they walked past the school. Thank you also to the kind person who left a bag of tie wraps to help secure the drawings to the display!
Rainbow messages…
Thank you to all artists who have added their beautiful rainbows and messages to the school railings. How many more can we get?
Beautiful!
Thank you for the growing number of rainbows on the railings making everyone smile as they pass the school. Keep them coming, everyone!
Rainbows…
How lovely it is to see some rainbow pictures and messages of hope appearing on the school gates!
Wouldn’t it be lovely to see lots of these decorating our railings for people to read and enjoy looking at as they walk past the school? Why not add to the collection – don’t forget to put your name on it too.
Stay safe everyone!
100 years ago….
We are living in extraordinary times right now and no doubt we will look back at 2020 and remember what was happening in our town.
The last time the country experienced anything like this was during WW1 when Spanish flu swept across Europe carried by soldiers. The Dick Institute was used as a hospital back then for the soldiers coming back injured or ill, as these two grainy photos show….
This short video clip was taken outside The Dick Institute in 1922.
