Wickersley acknowledged Remembrance Day again this

Wickersley acknowledged Remembrance Day again this year with a one minute’s silence at 11am. During form period all students learnt what Remembrance Day is, how it started in 1919 and the work of the British Legion raising money to support all ex-servicemen and their families. ⠀
⠀
This year the focus was on sacrifices in war. Students discussed how generations before us experienced similar restrictions to their daily lives but for a lot longer and drew links between life on the Home Front in World War Two and the situation we are facing now.⠀
⠀
Tom Read, a Y9 Music student, performed ‘The Last Post’ as part of our acknowledgement of Remembrance Day. His performance brought a tear to many staff, and students responded in an incredibly enthusiastic manner as not only was this our traditional tribute on this important day but it also marked the first time a Brass instrument has been played in school since the beginning of the first lockdown in March. The performance was observed in a socially distanced manner following all guidelines.⠀
⠀
Tom is following in his elder brother Matthew’s footsteps as our previous annual performer of ‘The Last Post’.

Our students are being given the opportunity to get involved in our Festive Reverse Advent in the coming weeks, contributions will be donated to our local food bank in December.🎄⠀
⠀
We realise that these are difficult times for many families, and so there is no expectation for students to get involved, however, with many students bringing just one item, it could really make the difference.⠀
⠀
The 12 Days of Christmas foodbank appeal is a way of helping people in our community with limited resources over the festive period. Students have the option of donating either a festive item or a food cupboard staple, across the 12 day period, please see the suggestions below. Please note that these are only suggestions and other items, with long use-by dates, would also be welcome.⠀
⠀
Donations are not mandatory but if students are able to contribute, there will be a box at the front of reception from the 18th November to the 3rd December, where students can leave their items.⠀
⠀
Thank you in advance for your support with this appeal.

Khujsta Amjid in Year 10 continuously looks for opportunities to help others. At school, Khujsta offers to support her peers in a calm and supportive manner. At home, Khujsta always offers to complete various big and small tasks to make life easier for her family. In the community, Khujsta has begun to complete litter picking in a genuine bid to improve the local environment. Taking action to be kind is a habit that Khujsta has developed due to Khujsta’s conviction to seek ways that she can support family, friends, peers and the community.⠀

Thomas Brown in Year 11 or ‘Chef Brown’ often prepares and creates meals for his family. Recently, Thomas went even further and created a 3-course meal to celebrate his Dad’s birthday to do something extra special. ⠀
⠀
On a daily basis, Thomas prides himself on always looking to help others, whether at home or at school, big or small. Crucially, Thomas thinks then acts positively. He communicates carefully and confidently in consideration of how his actions can make a positive difference. ⠀

Abigail James in Year 10 takes responsibility and pride in completing both small and large acts of kindness. For example, Abigail supports at ECC Rotherham on the reception desk on a weekly basis. Additionally, when able, Abigail has volunteered at an elderly group in Wickersley library as a student leader over the last year.⠀
⠀
At school, Abigail makes a concerted effort to offer a simple ‘Hello’ or ‘Good Morning/Afternoon’ and takes time to say ‘thank you’ to staff at the end of a lesson. Abigail demonstrates her kindness through her actions and continually behaves with consideration of how her behaviour can positively impact on family, friends, teachers and members of our community.⠀

Gracie Troop in Year 7 has made a tremendous effort to support her family with kind actions. Recently, Gracie has made a renewed effort to complete washing within the house to support her family and she has begun to make tea for her brother. More recently, Gracie made her parents a ‘Kindness Jigsaw’ (this jigsaw had lots of inspirational words, quotes, smiley faces and hearts). Gracie took great care to create something special for her parents. Her parents were blown away by the level of time and thought Gracie put into doing something to make their day.⠀

Mark Watson in Year 9 always helps his parents with jobs around the family home and applies the same values when at school. In recent months, Mark has given much of his time to regularly deliver food for both of his grandparents who are house-bound. Further to this, Mark has completed a variety of jobs for his grandparents to make a hugely positive difference to their daily lives. Taking action to be a kind is a habit that Mark has clearly developed due to his desire to support his entire family and others on a daily basis.⠀

⠀
Students have considered the value of completing kind acts and are working towards making these positive actions a habit in the long-term. We are incredibly proud of so many of our students who are independently taking action to recognise that every single kind action, small and significant or large, has a positive impact on others.⠀
⠀
Students at Wickersley are continuing to develop their understanding that continuously taking action like this only betters each of us as individuals along with improving our school and our community.⠀

It has become very clear to us now that cancelling our 2020 pantomime is unavoidable.⠀
⠀
With current bubble restrictions in place we are unable to rehearse even our reduced cast Cinderella, and staging a show for a socially distanced audience is not feasible for us.⠀
⠀
It is our firm intention to be back in December 2021, bigger and sillier and more magical than before, with our production of ROBINSON CRUSOE AND THE CARIBBEAN PIRATES. So make a wish, cross your fingers, click your heels together three times and hope that we can. Because it just isn’t the Christmas season without pantomime!⠀
