The principal of a primary school in Northern Ireland has written to pupils explaining the impact of coronavirus using Toy Story. Stephen Baine, who runs St Colman’s Primary School in Lambeg, County Antrim, sent the letter to pupils on Thursday to explain school closures. In his letter, Mr Baine used the “rootin’, tootin’ cowboy” Woody, the film’s protagonist, to help explain to students how to cope with social distancing and help at home. Mr Baine expressed concern that children were being left out of the coronavirus conversation and were not being briefed about the ongoing pandemic. The principal signed off his letter as “Mr Baine (Sheriff Woody)” having written that he would “miss you guys to ‘infinity and beyond’!”PA Media
