Lockdown Day 9.

Online learning today was tricky, at best, with motivation dwindling. We had some tears before lunchtime (not mine). We did a little bit of work and decided to move on to play earlier than usual. 

Papa swooped in and lifted the children's spirits with "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo" Nintendo Switch game. A good way to get them moving indoors and have a virtual go at different Olympic sports. 

Granny conducted a lockdown origami class for the older ones in the afternoon and had a followup session (with their cousin) in the evening. She taught our big girl to make a crown and our big boy to make monster claws. It was a success, and quite timely given how bumpy a day it was.

I'm glad we managed to end the day with some smiles.
