5 years ago 😱 it was Day 2 of school closures and a full lockdown was imminent. It's weird to think back to that period, how stressful it was trying to get online and prepare resources for online learning. I spent an awful lot of time in the park behind my house, was lucky #Teacher5ADay #Reflection
