These are actually cakes! Made to perfection by Laura, they tasted good too!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Friday 13th March seems a lifetime away now, doesn’t it? But before we were all engulfed in crisis, Jean stood down as Manager and the staff and children put on a special afternoon for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On reflection, that was an auspicious time to hold it. Just a week later and it would have been a much quieter celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the children helped (?) prepare the table and decorate the Classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And at the appointed time Jean was ushered in for her surprise. Well, what followed was mayhem, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves . . . . you could tell by the free flowing tears!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there was another surprise for Jean. Parents of current children AND alumni had clubbed together to buy her a present. We knew what not to get her (see earlier post), so after much head-scratching, debate and research, she was given a voucher for a week’s holiday by the sea. Unfortunately, the dates were booked for May, but I’m told they can be changed. Phew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So thank you to everyone who contributed. It’s something she will enjoy . . . eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, as it turned out, it was a nice way for everyone (who was in that day) to say goodbye to each other for the time being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ps The following week Jean was persuaded to stay at home. Derek too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
