An extremely hot day and an extremely busy one. Water being used to cool down and despite that for some, the great outdoors was not accessible. That may be due to lockdown or it may be due to being busy, indoors doing various bits of work. Sometimes when we enter a period of crisis, pandemic … Continue reading

School’s Out – Day 31
Monday back at school, or not the case may be. Some days are certainly harder than others and can be quite frustrating, remote meeting after remote meeting whilst neglecting the home learning needs of your own – and we are all in the profession, sitting about doing nothing on an extended holiday, according to some … Continue reading
Stay Alert- Some Don’t Understand 2m
It is the weekend and the sun has been out some of the time. As we consider the various ways of welcoming children back at school – because social distancing in primaries is not so simple – it is hugely annoying that several pairs of people on a mid-day walk in lots of space can’t … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 30
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
School’s Out – Day 29
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
School’s Out – Day 26
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
School’s Out – Day 24
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
