Remember during lockdown when items such as meat, rice and pasta were in short supply? Our local Co-Op served us well but it got to the point where we couldn’t get the ingredients we needed to make a meal.

We don’t bake together often enough but now we’ve managed to get hold of essential ingredients, like flour, eggs and sugar, it has been an absolute joy. We’ve made this banana cake a couple of times while we’ve been in lockdown and it’s delicious! What’s more, it’s super easy and quick to make as well as being a great way to teach kids how to measure ingredients. If you have some bananas on the turn and you’re not sure what to do with them, get baking!

It’s great to read about all the resources that have been made available for primary and secondary school-aged children while they’re at home. We recently shared some of the great experiences available for kids which include PE with Joe Wicks, Home Festival Fun with Oti, Karen et al and some musical theatre performances being shown on screen.

Here are some of the best resources we’ve received from school or found ourselves which we hope you will find useful.

There’s been no shortage of resources while the schools have been closed and we relish the new experiences that have arisen as a result. Starting the days doing PE with Joe Wicks quickly became the norm. Since then there’s been English with David Walliams, Home Festival Fun with Oti, Karen et al, maths with Carol Vorderman, wildlife with Steve Backshall and tales of adventure with Ben Fogle. Here are just a few of our favourites – do make sure you check them out if you haven’t already.
