School’s Out – Day 30

Posted on May 15, 2020 by denhamkite • Leave a comment

Arrived home today to learn that Dan had just 20 laps of the garden left on his walk from Leicester to Goodison Park, Everton. He started the walk for charity (the NSPCC) three weeks ago, 118 miles in total around the garden, day after day. Yes, the weather has been kind to him, unlike Speedo … Continue reading →

Three weeks ago Daniel started walking around the garden with a 118 mile journey ahead of him. He’d raised nothing for the NSPCC at that point and hoped to raise £100. Having now walked . 114 miles (in laps of the garden) he has £1061 raised and that doesn’t include the £239 gift aid that … Continue reading →

School’s Out – Day 28

What a very difficult position we are all in! Teachers and some other school staff have been working as normal, whether remotely setting lessons and responding to the children and/or in school enabling the key workers (school staff are too don’t forget), to go to work. Of course, the general public see teachers as grown … Continue reading →

School’s Out – Day 27

These days are now flying by, possibly with the planning, speculation and continuation of the work that has never stopped. I hope people are okay and can do what they need to, with the belief that in time, we will get through this. The lack of proper interaction for many is really hard and I … Continue reading →

Another Monday as the weeks roll by, Coronavirus, please just die! Shall stop the poetry right there – not planned but just the way the words rolled out. Lots of confusion it would seem from so many following the Mr Johnson announcement last night. I think, to be fair, he was on a a hiding … Continue reading →

Stop, Step Back and Keep Your Distance!

Yeh right! For a couple of weeks now the complacent, ignorant and dare I write it… idiotic ways of people has been a growing concern. More cars. More gatherings. The brushing of shoulders. I do appreciate that over time things start to appear normal, for some. For others who have lost family or friends, maybe … Continue reading →

5 weeks and Easter included, 35 days of school with a difference. I love this gorgeous weather but mix it with a bit of complacency and you have – Covid catastrophe. People, this is not over and cracking on with life, I’m all for it but be sensible, please. Boris is making his announcement I … Continue reading →

End of an official school week for most but for a few, the VE Day Bank Holiday will be another day at school. The sun shone today and there were some more laps around the garden for Dan, raising money for the NSPCC. He didn’t quite do as many as planned but just under 5k … Continue reading →

School’s Out – Day 23

Another day at home today (home schooling). I think it is only the third day I have not been in school since lockdown. I think being at school is easier than being at home and I really do feel for the many parents trying to juggle the roles of a parent along side a worker, … Continue reading →
