Home learning; don’t look up at the mountain.

Here we are again. 

#youngestwatson got up this morning and said he wished to wear his school uniform because he thought it would help. I think it has. 
He did decide that perhaps his school shoes weren’t necessary. I think he’s right.

#middlewatson , in her final year of primary school, is embracing today with lessons learned in March in how to navigate learning at home. She found lockdown #1 hard. Now she knows what to expect. 
I might be wiser as to how I support her too: “You are absolutely right, I am not a qualified teacher.” *notably bows out and passes baton to ACTUAL teacher who IS qualified and has my almost 11 year old captivated and enthused.

#eldestwatson has a heads-up on it all on account of being largely learning at home in December.
He did stretches in the kitchen for PE as he ate a croissant.

I’m a school governor and I know how hard teachers will be working today following yesterday’s announcement. 
I know that they will present the best learning options for our children.
I have given my children two tasks today as we wait for the new rhythm and routine to wiggle into our lives; do some maths and read. *these are maths sheets from the first lockdown and books from their bookshelves. 

We have also talked about how we feel and why we are here.

Don’t look up at the mountain.

Just take one step.

It is enough.

You are enough.
