welcome
to the spring issue of Playtimes.
F
inally there is light, and school, at the end of the tunnel (she say’s, touching a piece of wood for luck). The last few
months have been a long hard slog. I’m sure many parents have a renewed admiration for schoolteachers ; I
know I certainly do. But the finish line is in sight, at least when it comes to homeschooling . Who is more excited:
the parents; the children; or the teachers, I wonder!
Even with things opening up, will life return to as it was before, or will there be a new “normal”? Will we rush out to celebrate
our freedom, or have we found a solace in being at home, a peace that we’d like to continue? It’s been nice not rushing around
so much, that’s for sure. In this issue we explore ways to have
fun indoors , as well as places to explore outside – such as
museums , many of which are now partially open. Overseas holidays are still touch and go, so we may need to look closer
to home for our holidays this year. Keep checking the Playtimes website and social media for our guide to summer
camps and staycations.
Until our next issue, stay well
Spring 2020
