School’s Out – Day 10
Two weeks of school being closed and now it is closed, for Easter. We clap the NHS and rightly so. There was a knock on the door tonight as a nurse arrived to pick up some headbands that Kate made to protect their ears. You have probably seen them – simple design where the mask … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 9
Another gathering on the doorstep at 20:00 tonight to give applause to the Key workers in the NHS. It was a pretty moving experience last week for the first time doing it and it was moving again today. I’m classes as a key worker, as a teacher, but I certainly don’t feel like I’m putting … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 8
8 days in today. 7 children of Key Workers. The attitude is good of Team here and the parents appreciative, despite the fact we should be more appreciative of them. I’ve managed to leave the house everyday, going to work as a teacher with others. It has to be very hard for those truly isolated … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 7
Day 7 of no school for the masses. It really is strange how you can be busy whilst not being busy. You can spend the day doing so much but seemingly so little. It is only day seven! Staff in various key worker roles continue to rise to the challenge. They turn up and deliver; … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 6
Week 2 and day 6 complete. They say that events like these bring out the best and worst in people. So very true! I’ve witnessed some that just blame, criticise and act in a way fitting of an immature, spoilt child. Least said about them the better… moving on! I’ve also seen so many people … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 5
A full week has passed by now with schools officially closed, except for those of Key Workers and children with an EHCP. When I look back on the week it is somewhat amusing that I see that the staff who completed the week are those that are in their first or second year! I hasten … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 4
Must start by mentioning how a country full of communities; communities full of streets; streets full of houses; and all were out on their doorsteps to give the NHS a clap. Genuinely brought a tear to my eye. 👏👏👏 Another sunny day in Leicester but I’ve been told it will be cold and snowing soon. … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 3
Day three is done! Those making the journey to school (or other form of work) will be feeling, I guess, very odd. Less people, customers, colleagues and quiet roads. The vital work that we do is just that, to ensure that the Key Workers can do their bit. Speaking to parents of children picking up … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 2
What a weirdly odd day. Not really sure if that is proper English but… Following the much stronger message that people should, unless absolutely necessary, stay at home from the PM yesterday (Monday evening), the feeling is somewhat a blur in that, life is no longer normal. A time for all to reflect and do … Continue reading
