Friday 22 May
It’s Stan’s 17th birthday today and we have now celebrated a third birthday in our household under lockdown; happy birthday, Son.
Me and Lisa were both at work today while crazy preparations persist for the grand opening of schools after the half term ‘break’.
The pressure is really on the primary headteachers to make this all work; they shoulder so much for little to no reward.
The children that do come in are in for a day of reduced class size and segregation at playtimes and lunchtimes; they can only use the items from their own trays whilst other resources, areas and book cases are taped off like crime scenes.
On a happy note, we were able to get the family together on Google Meet to sing happy birthday to him as he blew out his candles; followed by a small quiz about the number 17 and the year 2003 when he was born.
