Sheffield primary school teacher leaves touching message for her pupils tied to lamppost

BUSINESS: Greggs to reopen 20 stores next Monday – with the rest set to reopen by July

Signed by a ‘Mrs Williams’, who is believed to be a Year 5 teacher at Hartley Brook Primary Academy in Shiregreen, the message says: “I hope you are all staying safe and healthy as well as being helpful and kind at home.

"I miss you all and I’m looking forward to seeing you again in school when we can safely return.

“Stay safe, be good x.”

PEOPLE: Grandchildren told they can’t attend funeral of ‘cherished’ Sheffield nan who brought them up

Anthony Cunningham, who spotted the message, posted on Twitter: “Just seen two women putting these on a lamppost, so as you do have a little nosey and I’m guessing they work at the school and just showing they’re still thinking about the children.”

Schools are closed to children other than those whose parents are key workers in a bid to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
