Where you can take this time to enjoy having more time together as a family as usually were all so  busy and these times are often limited. Its the perfect time to get to know the local community around you ( at a safe distance) and your neighbours so we can all pull together and keep the community safe. 

Children have been painting rainbows this week and putting them in windows to keep everyone smiling.  

See if you can get involved by making a silly face and displaying it in your window 🙂

Just think it's now Friday so one week into home schooling already competed.
