Your TicTacToe Challenge Cards

Good Morning Ladies,

Sending love and hugs to all of you on this very special day xxxx

I hope that you are all ok and coping with all of the added stress that this awful situation has bought us, there are so many things to worry about, it seems to dominate every part of your day

It's shocking to see on the news that people are still continuing to ignore the call to stay at home, there were scenes of people eating ice creams  in Battersea Park, nobody observing the distancing recommendations.  I wonder how long before the Government issues orders to make you stay at home similar to what they have done in Italy.  The scenes from their hospitals yesterday were heartbreaking.  I also think that the National Medical Director hit the nail on the head when he said that ''People Should be Ashamed of themselves for stockpiling food'', if it carries on I honestly think that we will be having to have 'Ration Books'. The irritating thing is that they keep saying that there is no shortage of supply of food , it's simply people's greed that is causing the shortage.

I spoke to both of my sisters yesterday and Emily now has 5 cases of the Virus at her hospital, there were none on wednesday so thats a sharp rise, she now won't go anywhere near Mum just in case.

Claire is SENCO at the local primary school, they are now working through all holidays and Bank holidays to look after vulnerable children and those of Frontline workers, they are just doing more learning through play than anything else. She is dropping off whatever essentials she  can to mum but is also worried about passing the virus on to her.

Let's have a look at what you have been making......
