“We released the video on Easter Sunday and everybody loved it.
“We had parents sending us messages saying they were crying happy tears.
“We wanted the children to be able to see us again.
“It's been over a month and we thought this would be a great way to spread joy and happiness.”

The video has so far been watched 5,000 times on YouTube.
As the school’s logo is a rainbow the staff and pupils have enjoyed the use of the symbol during this pandemic.
Precious said: “We have been painting rainbows on pebbles and leaving them on walking routes around the school so children can find them during their daily exercise.
“We also put together messages from the staff and printed them out onto laminated stars for the children to collect outside the school.”
