Thank you NHS!
During the lockdown every Thursday we "Clapped for Carers" and created rainbows of hope for those who worked in the NHS. This was a collection of our part in that. Music was provided by Eva Cassidy - Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
COVID-19 Bear Hunt
At this time we were all allowed out once a day to exercise and the idea of a Bear Hunt was founded. People were asked to put a bear in their window to emulate the Going On A Bear Hunt story. It meant that as we went for a walk we could all search for bears on the bear hunt and this shows Ordsall's contribution.
