This week, some children in England have returned to school. In Wales, that hasn’t happened yet, but this week we have heard that schools in Wales will re-open at the end of June. It does not seem that this will be in a teaching capacity, but more of a checking-in with pupils prior to the summer holidays and September. Plans were also announced regarding extending the summer term by one week.
When we think of summer essentials, we perhaps think of the things we take on holiday with us. All the classic bits and bobs we pack in our suitcases prior to that wonderful summer sun holiday – sadly, due to the ‘minor issue’ of a global pandemic it’s very unlikely that anyone will be travelling anywhere this summer. So how might your lockdown summer wardrobe differ?
Home-schooling, crisis schooling, whatever you are referring to it as, we are now into our 11th week. Are you getting into a groove with it? Has it made you want to home-school full time? Or are you tearing your hair out?
This week would have been half term if the children had been in school, so we decided to take a break from formal learning and do much more outside in the lovely sunshine.
What have you been wearing during lockdown? Has your style changed with your circumstances, or are you wearing the exact same things as you were before the global pandemic?
Are you looking to purchase jewellery for a special occasion? I know lots of people turning 40 this year, so it’s a good time to consider things like this. I received jewellery from a couple of friends last year when I turned 40, which was lovely.
When the weather is warm, the children love nothing more than a water fight. When it’s warm enough to get the water guns out, they don’t hesitate. We’ve had a range of water shooters over the years and always try to have a bit of a variety when it comes to the type of soakers we have, as some are more suited to younger children and some to older children.
As we begin half term, here is a list of ideas put together by Netgem TV to make your family time watching TV much more worthwhile.
