Did you do the Happy Dance… the day the kids finally went back to school?

We all had a spring in our step. But it was also mixed with the kind of trepidation and excitement so much part of the “new normal”.

As teachers get the full lowdown of their children’s adventures in lockdown, schools are embracing new norms: one-way aisles, new desk layouts, lines and arrows on the floors, regular hand-washing and changes to break times, all designed with everyone’s utmost health and safety in mind.

Then there’s the question of face coverings. Do they or don’t they work? Controversy and confusion continues over wearing masks in schools and public places. Some insist upon them, while others do not. Are you wearing one and, as importantly, are your kids? You can find out more about the latest government guidelines for schools here.

We’d love to hear about your back-to-school stories. How have the last six months of Covid-19 isolating affected your family’s learning and how have you overcome the challenges? Please do share your experiences in the comments. ☺

Rest assured, at Lockwood Lettings & Management, we are still very much working online with landlords and tenants to ensure that home viewings, moves and maintenance go as smoothly and safely as possible. We always conduct our viewings using protective masks while employing anti- infection measures so that you stay safe at all times.
