CLASS   OF   2020

We have been together for 7 years, Sharing our hopes, dreams and fears.

But in March, we were sent home to stay, Learning online was our new school day.

We made rainbow pictures and went out to cheer,The key workers protecting those we hold dear.

What should have been a time for celebration, Became a time of worry and isolation.

But what we have learnt in a time like this, Is what's truly important and the friends we miss.

It has not been the final year we had hoped, But we're amazed at your strength and how well you have coped.

Hold on to the memories that we have shared, Remembering friends and those who cared.

The class of 2020 will hold a place in our hearts, For the courage you've shown from the very start.

You have carried on regardless during this period of change, And continued on when things were strange.

You're moving on to somewhere new, Filled with the confidence you need to see you through.

FROM ALL AT EDWARDS, WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, SMILES AND HARD WORK WILL BE YOUR KEY TO SUCCESS.

BEST WISHES FROM         MRS DONAGHY        AND      MISS ROKE

Hi Everyone!

What a journey we have been on since September! It's so hard to believe it is June and what would be our final month together at Edwards Primary School.We may have lost a few months of learning together but it has given you the opportunity to spend extra time at home with your loved ones. You can enjoy outdoor activities and play your favourite games. We hope you are managing to do some of the activities we have provided each day. This week as part of our work for Leavers we would love you to design the front of our DVD.  This can be done by adapting the editable version below and sending to Miss Roke.  Remember, we love to hear from you. Continue to send us your emails.

Year 7 Tributes to the NHS and Key Workers

Pandemic

By Logan

School has closed down recently

My sisters rather glum

People are panic-buying toilet paper

That seems rather dumb!

At least I get to stay at home,

Until mum makes us have our homework done!

They say there is this illness

People are acting ridiculous!

Mum is being meticulous

We have to wash our hands

The government is putting on bans

So if you want to protect your own

Stay safe and stay at home.

Thank you to all the Year 7 pupils who sent work to thank the NHS and Key workers.  Your work shows great kindness. Well done!!!

Year 7 Baking Delights!!!! 

Thanks to everyone for sending your photos of your yummy numeracy work!! Looked like everyone had fun and made some very tasty treats for the family!!
