Stood out in the pitch black outside Nantwich at 8pm.
The space station was very visible in the west and the stars looked stunning.
Then it happened ... quite surprising really ... I could hear clapping and wooping, and pans being banged and the odd firework going off.
Rang my sister (NHS Nurse in Sheffield) to tell her and Rotherham had been similarly involved.
The sensible part of my brain tells me it's a meaningless gesture ... but I found it surprisingly moving.

Didn't hear a thing here.
I hope all those who went outside practiced proper social isolation. It would be a horrible irony if something done to keep the spirits of health workers up resulted in them being burdened even further.

So this is gaining traction. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/coronavirus-uk-nhs-workers-applaud-support-clap-our-carers-a9421206.htmlGiving clap to our careers is an unfortunate way of promoting it π So on the face of it a worthy thing to do, I'll ask Mrs Gazza what she thinks when she gets in. I am toying with the idea of trying to push for a cheer for teachers this Monday at 15:30 - it will be a week in to home schooling for millions of us that had no desire to be teachers who find themselves suddenly thrust into that role. By God there's more to it than meets the eye, our works laser printer has worked the hardest it ever has this morning, a small forest has been decimated in the process. Getting the enthusiasm to learn and make it fun while the sun is shining and a garden full of kit is easier said than done - doable it is though π I now know about blue for brilliant, green for good and pink for think - thanks to a small person a fag paper off six years old. In a couple of days I've had the tiniest insight into just how hard school teachers work, the enthusiasm and commitment they must have for their profession and the passion for teaching and learning that is at the core. Teachers eh? It's not all tea and biscuits and ridiculously long holidays πππ€ I wonder about all this home schooling frenzy for primary school kids, will they really be disadvantaged for life if they miss a few weeks schooling? I seem to remember a strike by caretakers I think it was when I was in primary school and no one suggests we did work at home and there has been no measurable adverse effects to my education.

Although his school has said they are starting preparing for next term and they are going to make it fun.

Rog What I am gathering from social media is it was a little gesture but it really went a long way. Lots of posts from nhs staff were quite emotional. On a different note we were on our balcony for about half an hour chatting with all the neighbours, some we hadn't seen for a week.

I seem to remember a strike by caretakers I think it was when I was in primary school and no one suggests we did work at home and there has been no measurable adverse effects to my education. When u consider it ..how much did we learn at school that we've never used in our lives?..I reckon a couple of terms missed neither here nor there as long as parents keep on top of basics. Sines, co sines, pi charts, graphs, and the rest have never featured in my life. Parents inter acting with their kids far more valuable. I know there are many who willnot get any schooling but schools will have to catch up..they will. i think the loss of their chums will be harder to cope with.Kids are not used to being without playmates.

I seem to remember a strike by caretakers I think it was when I was in primary school and no one suggests we did work at home and there has been no measurable adverse effects to my education. Don't tell anyone but I'm quite enjoying it! It's more about trying to keep some sense of normality in their lives, she was in tears when the school closure was announced, not seeing her friends or teachers for an unspecified period was really upsetting for her. Mornings are covered by the childminder - her daughter is in reception so she is keen to get through EYFS as best she can herself. I do the afternoon slot, we are doing three topics along with afternoon break, works out about two or two and half hours. While the weather has been nice the classroom is outdoors. Yesterday we set up a little experiment to look at solar energy. It's the kit I put together for her electric outboard, with the addition of forklift truck spotlight we tlcould demonstrate how a battery can turn it's chemical energy into electric energy, heat and light. We also looked at how solar energy replaces the energy used. Probably a bit advanced but the sun was out so what they hey! - start em young peterboat she may not be a dinosaur like me π Today we are doing materials, spellings (the school have set four weeks worth) PE - which Lucy is on charge of! And then golden time; a carry on from the schools normal routine. Structuring the day like this means the TV gets a rest too! To be fair, she wants to be outside in the garden as much as possible anyway π
