Bristol schoolchildren paint huge 'NHS Heroes' sign for Southmead Hospital

Four and five-year-olds at St Teresa's School in Bristol have created a sign to thank NHS staff at their local hospital for their work during the coronavirus outbreak.

All UK schools have been closed because of the disease, except for the children of key workers. Those in Year One at St Teresa's wanted to show their appreciation of staff at Southmead Hospital.

The sign has gone up at Southmead Hospital. One of the four-year-olds was very proud of her part in it. Orla's mother is one of the key workers they wanted to thank.
