Well its been a strange few weeks for Crew Attenborough and XP as a whole, getting used to working from home for all of us has varied, some of Crew have just got on with work, enjoyed a lay in and still chatted to their friends on social media. Others are still getting to grips with working online, or struggling with not being able to see their friends or just go out when they want. I am missing little things like just going for a drive thru or a trip to Meadowhall with my daughter, Charlie is missing KFC (big style) and Michaela is missing just being with her friends.

What I look forward to most every Tuesday is my Hangout with Crew, seeing the students, chatting, sharing stories, answering crew questions such as ‘would you rather be Batman with all the gadgets, or have no crime in the world?’ Checking in on work and whether any of our little ‘Family’ need extra help with certain subjects makes me feel I’m still doing my part and helping My Kids at this difficult time.

Checking in with parents has been lovely, hearing how siblings are helping each other, parents and students having desks both working from home, Harley still up every morning doing his paper round, Logan taking the dog out for walks, cooking his own food. When I get them back they are going to seem so grown up. Some of Crew have been with me since Wales, others have joined since and quickly became part of our Crew. I look forward to the time when Mrs Burns can nag them face to face but until then, keep working hard, keep smiling, help your parents and stay safe. Roll on Tuesday for my catch up.
