Snow

So we’ve kind of had a snow day. I woke this morning to a layer of the white stuff outside and got quite excited. I do love snow. I love how magic it seems even if it is a total and utter inconvenience to us all. My youngest two are both off school with a flu type bug that has brought out our dear old friend Croup. It sounds like I have two seals in the house. My youngest is on day five of feeling pants but his voice has returned and he’s eating so he’s definitely getting better. My middle one hasn’t had it quite so bad, no sore throat just the cough and a temperature. My eldest is fine and was gutted that he had to go to school. His bus arrived on time but then took 45 minutes to go two stops. By which time he was fed up and cold. Most of the students gave up and came home. The bus company later stated on Facebook that they were sending another but by which time most of the boys were home again. So he got his day off after all. As for me well I work on the moor during the day and there was no way I was going to get there so I’ve had a day looking after the boys. The hubby did a 14 hour night shift last night, late home due to the snow and the fact that they had to close the A30 and deal with loads of broken down vehicles, jack knifed lorries and just lots of snow. Here’s Alfie enjoying the white stuff this morning. Stay safe and in the warm.  X

Can you see me? by Libby Scott and Rebecca Westcott

Some books grip you, others don't. Some take me for ever to read and some I can plough through in a couple of evenings. This book I put in my amazon wish list and I published it on the Acts of Kindness UK group on Facebook, if you haven't seen it go and have a look, there's lots of loveliness out there in a world of such uncertainty at the moment. I received it in the post from someone I know (but not very well) and it was lovely to receive it. The story is written from the perspective of Tally (Natalia) an 11 year old with Autism who is about to start secondary school. It includes diary entries written by Libby Scott who is also autistic and sheds a real light into what it is like living with the condition. The story goes through the every day life of an autistic child, the things they face, the emotions and anxiety that goes through their heads constantly. This is put across as Tally' experiences, that no one likes her, that she's different from everyone e...

Sherbet Lane stationery box - May

I was actually away on holiday last week when my happy post arrived. It's always a nice feeling when you see it on your doormat but even nicer when you know it's at home waiting for you. We arrived home early on Monday morning and no I didn't open it straight away. Later onMonday afternoon i got to sit down and open it on my own. This months theme is Spring Clean, very apt for my house at the moment. We have been having lots of work done over the past seven weeks which includes a new kitchen which arrives this Monday! I'm a little excited about that! So in amongst all the chaos of my house - I get this, and as always its perfect. Inside wrapped in tissue paper as always, is a journal, a Paperchase pen, three organisation sheets to help you organise your life, a decluttering one, a cleaning one and one for things you like doing. There is also an art card with the quote, "This could be the beginning of anything you want." That's going i...

The 1000 Year Old Boy by Ross Welford

I read this with a student (Home Ed) that I teach. The story is about Alve (Alfie) who is 1000 years old. He is befriended by Aiden and Roxy who at first don’t believe him but there’s something different about this 11 year old that doesn’t quite make sense. From his knowledge of historical events, to the way he speaks. After a fire destroys his home and what little family he has, he gets put into care and has to rely on Aiden and Roxy to help him lead a normal life and finally grow up normally.  This book is amazingly well written and left so many questions that we were desperate to discover the answers to. We couldn’t put the book down and wanted to continue reading it just to find out the how’s and why. Lots of twists and turns, and lots of adventure to keep anyone happy.  Recommended for good readers in year 5 and above.  5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
