A VIEW FROM THE STUDY.....
Well, child, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So child, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now—
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
A mother (97 years old) in China, feeding and taking
care of her paralysed son (60 years old) everyday for
more than 19 years. A reminder of the amazing spirit
of human compassion and more importantly,
motherly love.
Langston Hughes (1922)
Mother’s sacrifice each and every day to ensure that we have all we need; never a question, never a
true doubt. A Mother’s love is unquenchable for her children. No matter how hard the places she has to
go, her footsteps never falter. We must strive to do of our very best in respect and out of love for her
and the sacrifices she makes for us.
Thanks Mum.

OUT AND ABOUT
Lucas and Gisele Hill who both represent Trafford at
swimming, have been selected to represent the North
West in the Micro League at the end of March. Also,
Gisele and Lucas are representing Trafford Metro in
the Peaks and Plains League. Good luck to both of
them! Mrs. Johnstone
On 5th March my sister and I took part in a Trafford
time trials gala. We had to perform every stroke
quickly and we both did really well, achieving great
times! Trafford offered us both a place on the team
to take part in galas with them which we are really
looking forward to.
Lucas Hill
Well done Lucas and Gisele!
Morgan Daly-Pattison recently completed a swimming
badge testing event with the Cubs and Scouts
(Morgan being in the Cubs).
There were three levels in the swimming ranging from
1 to 5, 5 being the most challenging with numerous
exhausting a testing tasks even for the most
accomplished swimmers.
All of the Cubs chose levels from 1-3 apart from
Morgan who chose level 5 as he wanted to see if he
could complete it.
He did complete it and managed to do the 1000
metres in less than the allocated time at the end of
the test, his only fellow swimmers being Scouts who
were much older. Well done Morgan!
SHELDON’S DRAGON’S DEN
Our hearty congratulations to all of the House teams who presented so professionally at Sheldon's HQ on
Tuesday of this week as a part of the Pownall's Business Enterprise Project for F5 and 6. Each House pitched
their product to a panel of experts from Sheldon's Bakery and did so quite superbly. Every participant
contributed fully to their House presentation and were congratulated by the Dragons.
The entrepreneurs have developed products, logos, strap lines, deals and also websites to get their product to
market. They have completed their market research, have the facts and statistics to guide the market demand
and will be ready to take orders and sell their product very soon-look out for it and please support them in their
endeavour to raise as much money as possible for 'The Christie'.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sheldon's wholeheartedly for their support for our Enterprise
Project, their time on the day to show their wonderful business to us and for the wonderful product they
produced for us at lunch-thank you!
