Forgot to post it the last few days. Most of it stays the same anyway with a few different things each day. Unsure what the Glasgow Science Centre lesson is tomorrow but all the previous ones have been good. As have the Maddie Moate lessons too (probably helps that I find her quite attractive).

Just out of interest, anyone else have a kid in Reception, Year 1 or 6? We've already had a phone call from the school asking if we're sending our Year 1 in on the 1st June. 

We've said no, unless there is absolutely minimal risk and infections have reduced even further. I'm not keen for my daughter to part of Johnson's science experiment for the second wave.

We've said no to our Year 1 going back. I'm not massively keen on her staying off because I'd love her to get back to normal and see her friends but this is far from normal and we've no reason to take any risk as we're all at home.

Elder daughter is in Year 10 and there is some talk of them going back. She's desperate to go so that one might be more of an argument.

We've had a letter from the school, outlining the precautions they have to take. No mixing of age groups, maximum of 15 kids to a class, desks 2 metres apart, limited toilet breaks, amongst many others. 

That'll be hell for the kids, seems dumb to put them through that for seven weeks before the summer holidays. She's not going to want to go back in September if that's how she remembers it. 

She's definitely not going in now.
