Our little heroes have stayed indoors without really understanding why they can’t go out or see their family and friends
In the blink of an eye, their lives have been turned upside down and they are expected to follow rules they have never known, and live a life they couldn’t have ever imagined.
To show how proud we are of them aIL let’s get everyone clapping, on this warm and sunny day, for our little heroes?
Tapton School is crowd-funding to manufacture plastic face shields for the NHS and other front line care workers during the Covid-19 outbreak.
The Design & Technology teachers at Tapton School Academy Trust have begun to make face shields for NHS doctors and nurses.
They need your money to purchase the materials; these are 0.5mm polypropylene sheet and 0.1mm (1 micron) clear acetate, polycarbonate or PVC, to help our front line workers when they need it most during this difficult time.
You can donate via Money gi♡ing
If you are a plastic supplier and are willing to donate these materials then please get in touch via enquiries@taptontrust.org.uk
Thank you in advance.
Clap for our CarersReturning for the second week in succession amid the coronavirus outbreak, people in Crosspool are expected to clap from doorsteps, windows, gardens, and balconies to thank the NHS champions.
It comes a week after the first Clap for Carers and is expected to begin at 8pm tonight.
It’s hoped that more will take part in tonight’s tribute to our NHS carers and key workers, who are working round the clock to help keep us all safe in these very difficult times.
During the current lockdown, Amy Chambers would like to encourage you to stitch, draw, embroider, paint or stamp on a square of cotton or lightweight material, (15x15cms with a 1 cm border), to make anything that shows how you are feeling at this unusual time. The squares will then be sewn together to make a Community Quilt. Afterward, this piece of memorable history will be on public display in the community.
I’ve got a feeling we can make something beautiful between us!
Please share the idea with neighbours who may not be on social media, (obviously maintaining safe social distancing!!)
I’ve posted pictures below of ones we and Lydgate school have done so far.
Once you have done your square/s, Private Message Amy for further information.
To show solidarity that we are all behind the Veolia refuse staff and more importantly help raise their morale during the Coronavirus outbreak. Can we encourage households to place this small rainbow sticker on their bins? Please!
Thanks.
