She also declared an interest in doing some algebra so I had a pretty successful maths lesson with her later in the day &#8211; which finished with a discussion of &#8220;R&#8221; and whether people who had already had COVID19 could be re-infected (which seemed like a pretty perceptive question from a 9yo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B had a Spanish test in the morning, and in the afternoon both kids worked on creating collages on the computer using images made available by the British Library and the instructions in the British Library pamphlet &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bl.uk\/files\/how-to-make-art-when-were-working-apart.pdf\">How to make art when we&#8217;re working apart<\/a>&#8220;. Later in the afternoon the kids went upstairs armed with the iPad and wooden swords to &#8220;make a film&#8221; &#8211; we haven&#8217;t seen the results yet, but it was hard to tell if they were having fun acting or having a raging argument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We decided to treat ourselves to a chinese takeaway this evening which we all enjoyed, and then watched &#8220;Shop Class&#8221; on Disney+ &#8211; a show where kids and &#8220;Shop Class&#8221; teachers (what I think we&#8217;d call Design &amp; Technology in this country &#8211; basically design and engineering + wood work\/metal work etc.) compete to make things. It was good fun, although I think F is getting some pretty big ideas about what we might be able to build at home now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day we&#8217;re pretty relaxed and looking forward to the bank holiday weekend<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5575-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-564\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5575-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5575-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5575-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5575-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5575-800x1067.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5575-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay safe, stay strong x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feeling:\u00a0Glad its Friday Listening to:\u00a0Apple Music &#8220;Feeling Happy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d playlist Watching:\u00a0Shop Class Pretty good day today.
