Hollycombe at Home Update 3
Easter Monday 2020
I would like to wish everyone a very
happy and safe Easter. And as you enjoy
your Chocolate eggs remember all the
symbolism that goes with them. The
new life that Jesus brings as he is raised
to new life on Easter Sunday.
With all blessings, love and prayers Rev
Trish.
Happy Easter Rev Trish from everyone
at Hollycombe—we miss seeing you and
hearing the Easter Story in assembly.

The finished product! What with the bashed-
up camper van outside and the old engine
parts lying around it looks like we live on a
hippy commune now. I hope no one calls the
police…

made me smile lots.
I hope you are all ok

Mrs Pearce and
Milo is that flapjack? It looks
Obie on World

Turton makes famously
good flapjack for the
staffroom).
A huge thank you
to Mrs Naldrett

This is Charli’s Auntie Rachel getting
ready to look after the patients in
her hospital in Brighton.
Can you raise some money to help
her hospital look after even more
people?
Charli is doing a readathon to raise
money—see the page 10 for details
from Sarah Charli’s mum.
Team One have been on duty at school this week. They have also been working on the deep cleaning of our
school following the latest guidance from the DfE on Covid19 (Infection Control in non-healthcare Settings).
So we know our school is as safe as it can be for any one who is coming in.
Team One also had lots of fun looking after keyworker children this week: it involved being outside in the
sunshine, and having pizza and icecream - thanks to Mrs Portman!
Team Two are back on duty next week and looking forward to providing keyworker childcare for mums and
dads who are working in critical jobs.
Thank you Ollie Doyle for cutting
the grass!
Freya and Jos have chalked their hair like rainbows to celebrate all of the
amazing keyworkers!
Obie says hello! He
misses the strokes he
usually gets from
Isabel, Lillia and Sofia.
Hi everyone!
Hope you're all enjoying the Easter
holidays. I am missing you all. I have
been doing Joe Wickes every single
morning! Last Friday was fancy dress. I
can still fit into my Captain America
outfit! I have been busy doing school
work but now it's the holidays I have
been spending most of my time out-
side. I have made potions with out of
date food and also science experi-
ments.
Mrs Griffiths’ children
made a car wash in the
garden.
(Cont’d) I made a volcano out of clay and painted it then mixed the following ingredients
to create a reaction: juice of a lemon, drops of red food colouring, spoon of flour and half
of the same spoon of baking soda. I firstly mixed the ingredients in the volcano then final-
ly added the bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and observed what happened! I plan to do
more volcano experiments over the holidays with different ingredients.
Take care everyone. Stay safe!

Happy Easter to you all. We hope you are all well. Love from Alicia and all The Bailey's. Xx
Miss Rydings’ grandson is missing seeing her and reading stories.
He found a substitute Duplo figure that he thinks looks like Miss
Rydings...and he’s reading to her instead.
The BBC are doing daily lessons on a new TV channel beginning
on the 20th April (which is the start of the Summer Term). We
don’t have any advance notice of what kind of thing they will be
doing, but it’s said to be for all ages and covering lots of differ-
ent lessons. We will be tuning in to see what it’s like and to see
how we can use it in to our workpacks.
Hi, I thought you would like to see this

Hello, I hope you are all well and enjoy-
ing the sunshine.
I wanted to send in some pictures of Gil
and Hebe from the weekend. They were
feeling disappointed that the school isn’t
able to hold an Easter Fair this year so
decided to organise their own.
They planted some beautiful spring flow-
ers to decorate our garden, made an
Easter banner, organised games includ-
ing Easter bowling, Guess Bunny’s Name,
crafts, face painting and sold snacks….
Although attendance was limited to five, Gil and Hebe used the House Party app to
contact their grandparents and other family members and involve them in the games and they paid for snacks and face painting
with their pocket money.They raised a grand total of £15.60 on behalf of Hollycombe School.
We are enjoying reading about what the other Hollycombe kids are doing and really hope to see you all soon.
Love from, Gil, Hebe & the Hunter family xx
Amazing work Hebe and Gillon! Well done!
Dear Mrs Pearce and all the Hollycombe families,
Lovely to hear from you. We are all very well and making the most of our unexpected family-time. We have settled into a new routine
and are very appreciative of the support and assistance you and others at the school are providing. We love reading the newsletter!
Charli's auntie and uncle both work at NHS Brighton and Sussex University Hospital (BSUH). In case the children are interested, here
is a pic of Charli's Auntie Rachel in her PPE getting ready to help the patients!
The BSUH NHS Trust has set up a campaign to support staff wellbeing whilst fighting coronavirus and we have heard back from the
Trust's fundraising manager that all the funds raised by the Readathon will be donated to this campaign.
The fundraising manager has confirmed there are two ways to get the fundraising to them (shown below).
But another way may be to set up a JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/helpbsuh.
Best wishes
Sarah
