Head of PSHE, Mrs Wilkins has put together a revised programme for the Summer Term and as part of the PSHE lessons, students are being set a daily well-being task. We thought it would be a great idea to share this with the wider Blue Coat community so you can get involved too. So here goes for Day 1: Leave three happy notes for someone else to find in your house. Please share your comments and photos with us, we'd love to know how you are getting along.

Year 11 student, Jim R has written the following poem about the current pandemic. Excellent work Jim. In years to come I’ll sit with my grandchildren close by Reflecting on my life, emitting a sigh, ‘Tell us a story grandad, they desperately plea’ I think for a while and say I’m the class of 2020 For ever more this will be a historical year A global population living in fear COVID 19, social distancing, self-isolation Quickly becoming buzz words of the nation It started in China in the town of Wuhan A virus that jumped from animal to human, It spread around the world at incredible pace The message to all, ‘please create space’ Not many weeks passed before it truly took hold Affecting the young but killing the old. The Prime Minister and Prince Charles proved you couldn’t avoid it widespread within England but London was the location worst hit As the NHS struggled to deal with the outbreak It became clear to all Boris had a decision to make And then it came one glorious, sunny afternoon, ‘Please work from home and schools will shut down soon’ ‘GCSEs and A levels cancelled’ was the astonishing headline Followed by guidance to students ‘you will all be fine’ Whilst parents and pupils were confused, reeled in shock Supermarkets reported ‘toilet rolls are now out of stock’ And then came the point where rules were laid down ‘You can leave your house but don’t go out of town’ The overall objective was to halt the strain on the NHS Many Years of underfunding had left it a mess But the cases increased, and the death toll rose Drs and nurses exhausted, suffering incredible lows As demand became higher, hospitals across the country were erected Thousands of volunteers, airline staff, the general public quickly selected. ‘How did it end’ my grandchildren shriek. ‘With thousands of deaths I whisper’ as my eyes start to leak ‘People lost jobs and companies ceased to trade The population adjusted their lifestyle, all very afraid’ However, some good came of those miserable days A decrease in pollution, a reduction in the haze Although a positive outcome was hard to find It became a period where the message was ‘be kind’
