Back in the camper van and setup near Ashbourne. The first break of the summer holidays and one that is much needed. There was a little lie in this morning, but not much. With Everton on tv at 12:00 and the van to pack, it was a busy morning. The first half for Everton was … Continue reading
Day one of the official summer break here for Leicester and the surrounding area. With a local lockdown, that means not a great deal of change for many – the status quo. For those of us that live outside of the boundary we can go and do some things. Whilst somewhat dazed in the state … Continue reading
I don’t want to be perfect – I want to be different. Dan Those are the words of a 9 year old boy after telling him, he has been brilliant in the current covid situation, getting on, taking part and being patient when I’ve needed to do my job, in my school. I suggested and … Continue reading
Even when you’re really tired, the completion of a job really does feel good and give you a boost. That said, I’m tired and about to sleep. In fact I’m that tired my sister called me today and I’ve just realised at 23:40 – sorry Bev. So one more day of school left and then … Continue reading

Day 66 of lockdown at school and looking back, with only five days left, I think we’ve done a pretty good job. From day one we managed to get Google classroom is up and running for all of our children – and all of the staff have posted work every single day and responded to … Continue reading
Very tired today; achieved a great deal but certainly flagging. So many things to appreciate in life and we must ensure that we do not get dragged down with the difficulties of the situation. Lockdown is here in Leicester (or a mile down the road) from where I write. Bit of a lazy morning planned … Continue reading
Day one of the local lockdown in school complete. Back in the library with a small group and the oddness of it all magnified, after getting all years back. Driving home and listening to the radio – Gavin and Jenny. Not quite the ring of Gavin and Stacey but entertaining nonetheless. I heard not too … Continue reading
Had to try and learn a tiktok today after requests from year 6 whose last day, due to Leicester’s local lockdown, is here. A very strange end to the year for all of the children who would and know for sure, their primary days are over (apart from seven more days of Google Classroom). At … Continue reading
