It looks like lockdown is slowly lifting, plus spring in the air. There's a little glimmer of light and positivity at the end of this long, Corona filled tunnel. What are you looking forward to? Lewis -  After Lockdown, I will be looking forward to simply leaving the house.  I don’t mind where I go, I will even be happy to wander around in open space.  It’s been a bit boring just staying in the house, because there is not a lot to do when you are stuck inside.  I’ve been shielding since about March 2020, so nearly a whole year.  I don’t mind even if I’m out for an hour.  I’m looking forward to feeling the sun on my face and fresh air.   Gruff    -  Buying things on Amazon defi nitely  has its benefits ,  but how long are you willing to go on  shopping just on a screen?  Don’t you wish you could go into any shop you liked, have a look around and  be able to buy whatever?  It sounds like such  exci...

  This half term feels different. No holidays, no cinema or day trips booked, no catch up over a Boulies cuppa with friends.  After a difficult start to 2021 and a long half term doing a brilliant job of engaging in online lessons (👏👏), we've come up with 10 things to make your well earned week off feel like a break. 10 things to do in Half Term when you're in Lockdown.   Cody - Plan a Movie night  While we’re all locked down, we need stuff to do.

  We're spending more time cooped up indoors and I think you'll agree that Netflix, Prime, iPlayer and All4 have been the saving grace. If you're looking for some TV inspo to help fill the cold, rainy, maybe even snowy February evenings, then look no further...we have 10 brilliant recommendations for you.  Ange - This Is Us - Prime I was gripped from the very first episode and now, like a good book, I can't put it down.  The series follows the lives and families of two parents and their three children, in several different time frames. I have laughed, cried and binge watched! There are 5 series to keep you going for a while. One not to be missed. Tyler - River Monsters - Netflix River Monsters is about a professional angler, Jeremy Wade investigating a series of aquatic murders of people from across the globe. He tries to uncover the culprit. I loved the spin on the stereotypical murder investigator show by making the stories about crimes not committed by people...
