Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.
Well, you certainly took Mrs Stelling’s challenge on. The photos that I’ve seen really made me smile. So many Superheroes, Disney characters, Star Wars characters and Book characters. Also, animals, insects and your favourite outfits (this is the one I did). You all made such an effort.
I was thinking about some of the funny things that have happened at school this last year which have made us smile, chuckle or laugh out loud. One of my favourite things we do at the end of each term is the giant Conga. All of the teachers go out into both yards and when you all see us you run over to join the end of the line. Maybe you could do a family one on Friday at about 1.15.
Infants, can you remember a couple of Fridays ago when I did the singing in the hall instead of the usual Mrs Peacock, and I couldn’t get the music to play for the right songs. So you were all singing the right words to the wrong tunes. Eventually, I had to call for help.
Nursery can you remember when I came into Nursery dressed as Miss Trunchbull and I had funny teeth in, and some of you did not know it was me, and you all ran away. Green group still ask about my teeth.Then I chased Mrs Peacock, who was dressed as Miss Honey, around the school and she was screaming and I was asking you all if you had seen her, and you all said “No”.
……and Juniors what about when Miss Middleton lets you sing that song sometimes on a Wednesday about Superman and his UNDERWEAR and she makes you sing it very loudly so I hear, then I have to come to the hall to tell her off!!
Oh, and remember when Santa visited and he did that funny dance and his belt fell off!!
Year 6 children who did not go to Thurston, can you remember when we played hockey on those little boards on wheels. Mr Bennett had just started at our school and thought it was great fun. He thinks we should do it again. I got a bit competitive.
What about when we are in assembly and you come out with your trophies, certificates and medals and sometimes you show me a few steps and I copy them. The other teachers particularly like it when you teach me a few tap dancing steps. I really like the ballet ones the best. The last time I did a plie in assembly, I actually split my skirt, but I did not tell you at the time. The other teacher laughed!
Best of all was the day we stopped the traffic on Mortimer Road and marched for our 30th Celebration. It was so good, wasn’t it? There was a piper in the front, we all had flags and each year group had a banner. There were so many parents and grandparents and residents all clapping and cheering you all! What a day! Can you remember when we practiced so many times to make the big 30 on the yard, then when the man with the drone came he told us we had to turn it all upside down. I can remember everyone was very confused.
I hope you can explain some of these funny stories in a bit more detail to your mams and dads.
Have a terrific Tuesday.
Mrs Cunningham
