Children at Flying High Academy, Mansfield, have been keeping their school community united with messages of support, shared learning and their innovative ‘Acts of Kindness’.
Sending messages of thanks and hope into their community, has, said Year 3 teacher Catherine Beaumont, brought smiles not only to the recipients’ faces, but to staff, children and their families too.
“These messages and projects show just how amazing our children are. Many have made and sent cards of thanks, made banners and posters and even made bird feeders and tables to show their gratitude to their heroes,” she said.
“Their efforts have truly sent kindness out into their community, and it has brought us all together in spirit during this time of separation.”
Pictured above is the family of Daisy Lamb (Year 6). Daisy’s family decided to fit banners to their house to thank keyworkers. Here are the Lamb children posing proudly in front of their Act of Kindness.

- Macie Scarborough (Year 6) wrote a letter to her class teacher, Mr Tilstone. She thanks him for doing a great job home schooling her and her classmates and says she is crossing everything to see him again before the summer!

- Oliver Hall (Year 6)decided to send his Act of Kindness to the workers of Asda. He was especially thankful for the additional safety provisions put in place to keep his mum and dad safe when they go shopping.

- Macy-Leigh Groom Yr6 wanted to thank a variety of key workers from Bin Collectors, Teachers and Shop Workers to Cleaners and her local shop staff. She said she is “…thankful from the bottom of my heart!” and she wanted to make her poster as bright and colourful as possible.

- Mia-Louise Smith (Year 6) – Most of her family are keyworkers so she definitely had lots of choice for the recipient of her letter of thanks. However, she thought it might be best to send it somebody she doesn’t know and asked her family to nominate someone they think deserves recognition. They chose a Kings Mill Hospital nurse called Maxine Carr and Mia’s letter has been pinned up in their staff room.
