Thursday is the day when I’d have a full afternoon of sports on normal school days. But since we’re now in #lockdown, of course we can’t really do that when we’re all learning online, and it would be hard for a few sports teachers to supervise 120 or so boys all at once. So the P.E. teachers have figured out a system – they’ve given us a training diary for the whole week, and all we need to do is pick a workout of our choice and write it down along with the amount of time we spent doing it – simple! And what’s really clever about it is that it means that even though we’re stuck at home, we’ll still be able to keep fit.

The highlight of the day was when we all joined the whole of the UK at 8pm last night to #clapforourcarers and applaud the #NHS and all the front-liners. We were all looking forward to it – even Fatimah and Ali stayed up past their bedtime just to show their love to the NHS! The cheering was unbelievably loud; every household was clapping and you could even hear it from inside the house! It seems nobody wanted to miss the chance to show their thanks and appreciation to all the key workers for putting their health at risk and doing all that they can to battle the #coronavirus. They are truly heroes, and for that we want to say #ThankYouNHS! May God keep you all safe and reward you for your noble acts.

Stay safe,
