Elsewhere the headband part is being made on a 3D printer.....

PPE for Hampshire
CAN YOU HELP?
The lack of PPE for frontline NHS staff and keyworkers has been a concern to us and so we are helping with the local effort. So, SiGNAL Bordon is making headbands for NHS workers during this current crisis and we're asking for your help and support to fill the current need for PPE.
Can you make 3D Printed Headbands? People with 3d printers who want to help print headbands contact us - work@signalbordon.org
Can you supply materials for visors? Do you have laminating film that you can donate? Yes, just plain old laminating pouches or sheets as you may call them! If so contact us - work@signalbordon.org
Want to make a donation to help? If you don't have a 3D printer or laminating pouches you can simply donate to help us fund more materials to build safety visors here: https://chuffed.org/project/ne-hampshire-ppe-for-key-workers
Are you a Keyworker who needs PPE? - If you are a Keyworker who needs a face mask then visit the link below, scroll to the bottom and click the button. We have a "request for face mask" form that allows you to request face masks if you are local keyworker in need of PPE full face visors.

What Home Education Looks Like - 30th March 2020
Not sure anyone is going to wonder how home educated kids can possibly socialise ever again!
Thank goodness for Skype, Facetime and the newly discovered Zoom!

What Home Education Looks Like - 23rd March 2020
And suddenly just like that the whole country was Home Educating!
Schools in this country closed on Friday. They will remain open with staff on a rota so that the children of key workers who have no other childcare can send their children in and still go to work, but that is only if they have no other choice.
For the majority of parents in this country today marks the start of their new (hopefully temporary) normal, of educating their children at home for the time being. The children have no doubt been sent home with reams of worksheets and home learning tasks to complete.
My message today though, as a home educator, to anyone planning on starting up with home lessons straight away is.... don’t!

Relax, take this as an early start to the Easter Holidays. Let the children breathe and just enjoy time together getting to know each other. Let them play in the garden, even watch tv if they want. Use this time to regroup and make plans. Do some craft together, or play games. Get to know your kids, their natural routines and how they best function. Figure out how best to set up the learning times so it works for all of you.
In a few weeks time when this new way of life has become less strange then you can draw up daily timetables and go at it with gusto, but for now just breathe. If the children want (or need) for school style routines to start back up before that then by all means do it, but there really is no hurry.
Most importantly... Stay At Home and wash those hands!
