I’ve just decided to close our year 6 class tomorrow. We have 50% +ve cases. Including the teacher. The advice from DFE and PHE has been a tick list of questions and on Friday we didn’t trigger further action. Over the weekend cases have tripled! Schools are not ok.

All of those and unable to concentrate, lack of appetite (early on), huge brain fog. 4 years on from suddenly losing my mum and I feel these much less but as anniversary of her death draws closer I feel them creep back. Grief certainly isn’t linear

in grief. Have you experienced this? I think of the body as the vessel that holds this entire experience for you. That it cracks and breaks and otherwise shows signs of stress makes sense when we think of what it's been asked to endure.

Being this prescriptive just doesn’t sit right with me. I think it is up to the class teacher how they seat their class. By all means leadership can suggest but being this prescriptive doesn’t sit right with me. Never mind the fact Y1 is by far too young for this

puts it brilliantly it’ll hit at odd times. Nearly two years on from the sudden loss of my mum and I only have the odd memory of her. Like I’ve blocked out 38 years of my life.. grief is odd.

As a deputy head I would regularly check in on my HT and see if she was ok from a work and sometimes personal perspective. Currently as an acting head being checked in on by other members of staff means a lot. Knock on the door and check in.

Sorry you are feeling this way. Interesting how many of us do feel the same. Even with two young ones at home over the holidays to keep me occupied I seem to have more headspace to go over things I keep buried during term time. Not quite sure what the answer is!

in grief. There's a clumsy forgetfulness that often comes with grief, as if remembering all those little details are "extra" expenses, and your mind can't afford them. What have you forgotten, misplaced, or gotten confused about?
