Mr Frost

We interviewed Mr Frost and learned that he had many dreams as a young man... To buy his own bike which he paid for with his paper round money. To work outside – something you have done your whole life. To drive a combine harvester – we hope you get to do this one day! To grow fantastic potatoes – rumour has it they are marvellous! To be a dog owner.

Did you know... Mr Frost has 6 children and 11 grandchildren, two of which were pupils at Pope Paul. Mr frost has been a builder, a woodland keeper and a driver as well as our caretaker. He also loves animals and has owned many rabbits and dogs.

Mr Frost you have been our hard working, kind and reliable caretaker for 14 years. Thank you for teaching us how to be caretakers for our school and each other. Let us Pray: Lord make us caretakers like Mr Frost. Help us to care for each other and the world. Amen. A poem to be read by Isabelle Gidman after Grace.

Here are some of our favourite memories of you... When you locked two teachers in school! Your 70th birthday celebrations. Interviewing you about your life. Eating with you at breakfast Club. When you’ve rescued our footballs from the roof! Hearing about your adventures with Wilfey.

Mr Frost “I will miss “I will miss hearing seeing you your jokes.” everyday.” “I will miss hearing your jokes.” I will miss talking to you on the playground.” “I will miss seeing you on the roof (clearing leaves) during our lesson in Autumn.”

Be careful making dens with your brother David, Mr Frost Once I was 7 years old, My aunty told me, Be careful making dens with your brother David, Once I was 7 years old.

Mr Frost It was a big, big world but we thought we were bigger, Riding our bikes, delivering papers, seeing who was quicker. By 11 dreams of working and becoming a man. Loving woodwork, cheering spurs and dancing to The King!

My boss told me work hard, be kind, you’ll go far sonny, Mr Frost Once I was 15 years old My boss told me work hard, be kind, you’ll go far sonny, Once I was 15 years old.

Mr Frost I always had that dream, Like so many before me To have a happy life, a family, a loving wife. So many memories of building sites and driving jags. I’d become a man and really was enjoying life.

Together we had 6 lovely babies. Mr Frost Once I was in my 20’s, I met a beautiful girl, Together we had 6 lovely babies. Once I was in my 20s.

Mr Frost Now I’m leaving Pope Paul, been here for 14 years, I’ll miss the children, staff but not the very late nights. Now I’m retiring, can relax with my Kathleen, Walk Wilfy and go digging in the garden.

Mr Frost Thank you for all your hard work, We’ll miss you Mr Frost, You have always made our school so very special. Thank you for all your hard work. (Repeat).

Mr Frost We wish you all the best and hope to see you at the 50th celebrations and Strawberry Fayre in the Summer. We would now like to invite a member from each class to come forward with cards for Mr Frost.
