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

School’s Out – Day 65
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
School’s Out – Day 64
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
School’s Out – Day 63
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
School’s Out – Day 62
Here we go again, preparing to shut the school to most and dealing with the difficult emotions of a year lost. Back on the 21st March is was a bit different, with much hope of a return, the understandable unknowns and lack of realisation this could be the end of the year. Now with only … Continue reading
Back Towards a Lockdown – Day 61
It’s late at night now and a short while after the news has broken that Leicester will be the first to have a local lockdown. I can’t really say I’m surprised when the complacency of supermarket shoppers and people in the streets have clearly not be keeping their distance. This news tipped off a pretty … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 57
The night is here. A hot day with a few more children arriving for school. To see the children all smiling, chatting and engaging is wonderful. Despite being in very different times we continue to work on the current provision and work on what is intended for the future as well. Currently, Google Classroom continues … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 56
Late on a Monday night, the first day back after opening all year groups, it has been a great day for the children. To see more friends and be able to socialise within a larger group – these are important times for the children. The weather has improved once again, giving the kind of spell … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 55
It’s Friday night and another week draws to a close. It is a pretty strange time with three weeks left of school until we break (living in Leicester) for summer yet I hear from Downing Street that there is hope of summer schools and more – I am very sorry but whilst I usually will … Continue reading
School’s Out – Day 54
Great to be back to school today after four days of being shut. The deep clean has been completed and we were back in, being careful and cracking on. The weather was very wet with rain teeming down from the start. The gazebo have a welcome shelter as the groups arrived. After this week there … Continue reading
