JACKSPRAT
28TH
MARCH 2020
Jack
Sprat Could Eat No Fat. Jack Sprat could eat no fat, His wife could
eat no lean; And so betwixt them both, They lick'd the platter clean.
At
its origins “Jack Sprat” was known as a proverb, and the term
used to refers at short people in the 16th century.
“Jack Sprat” Lyrics
Jack Sprat
could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between them both, you see,
They licked the platter clean
Jack ate all the lean,
Joan ate all the fat.
The bone they picked it clean,
Then gave it to the cat
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between them both, you see,
They licked the platter clean
Jack ate all the lean,
Joan ate all the fat.
The bone they picked it clean,
Then gave it to the cat
AFTER
READING THIS RHYME AGAIN WOULD YOU NOT SAY THAT IT IS STILL RELEVANT
TODAY?
SO
WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING AT THE MOMENT TRY TO BE MORE FRUGAL AND TO STOP

25TH MARCH 2020 DRINK MORE WATER.
25TH
MARCH 2020
DRINK
MORE WATER
“IF
ALL THE WORLD WAS PAPER AND ALL THE SEA WAS INK.”
“IF
ALL THE TREES WERE BREAD AND CHEESE.”
“WHAT
WOULD WE HAVE TO DRINK?”
"If
All The World Were Paper ' is an old English folk song that dates
back to at least the reign of Charles I. The song, with six verses,
is printed in "Witt's Recreations" described as a book of
'ingenious conceites' and 'merrie medecines', published in 1641.

OVER
THE NEXT COUPPLE OF MONTHS WHILST THE WHOLE WORD OS DEALING WITH THE
CURRENT OUT BREAK. THE ONE THING THAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT IS
WATER.
ALREADY
THIS YEAR WE HAD ISSUES WHERE WE WERE HAVING SO MUCH RAIN IN THE UK
THAT IT WAS CAUSING FLOODING.
YET
THE TABLES COULD TURN WITH IN DAYS DEPENDING UPON THE WEATHER AND THE
AMOUNT OF WATER THAT WE HAVE IN RESERVOIRS AND USAGE.
THE
AVERAGE PERSON SHOULD DRINK AROUND 8 GLASSES OF WATER PER DAY.
LIVING ON THE CANAL NETWORK WE WOULD USUALLY FILL UP THE WATER TANK
ABOUT EVERY 2 WEEKS WITH A FAMILY OF FOUR ON BOARD.
SO
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS THINK ABOUT YOUR WATER USAGE AND THINK
ABOUT HOW WE COULD LOOK AT CUTTING BACK BUT STILL STAY HEALTHY.
WITH
EVERYONE ALL MOST ALL OVER THE WORLD ON LOCK DOWN, YOU MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO POP TO YOUR LOCAL SHOP FOR TEA, COFFEE, MILK, JUICE OR
SOMETHING ELSE.
SO
IT WILL BE WATER THAT WE WILL ALL BE DRINKING (COUNCIL POP.)
MOST
WILL DRINK STRAIGHT FROM THE TAPE, FILTERED OR BOILED.
SO
PLEASE THINK ABOUT YOUR WATER USAGE EPICALLY DURING THE SUMMER
MONTHS.
PLAN
NOW!
I
HAVE INCLUDED SOME USEFUL LINKS BELOW.
REMEMBER
“IF
ALL THE WORLD WAS PAPER AND ALL THE SEA WAS INK.”
“IF
ALL THE TREES WERE BREAD AND CHEESE.”
“WHAT
WOULD WE HAVE TO DRINK?”

WHAT IS A NOUN?
Noun
A noun (from Latin nōmen, literally 'name') is a word that functions as the name of some specific thing or set of things, such as living creatures, objects, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas. However, noun is not a semantic category, so that it cannot be characterized in terms of its meaning. Thus, actions and states of existence can also be expressed by verbs, qualities by adjectives, and places by adverbs. Linguistically, a noun is a member of a large, open part of speech whose members can occur as the main word in the subject of a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.
25TH MARCH 2020 SCRABBLE
25TH
MARCH 2020
SCRABBLE
PLAY
SCRABBLE! YESTERDAY FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN WAS A VERY GOOD
EDUCATIONAL DAY.
WE
PLAYED SCRABBLE.
MY
OLDEST SON IS 6 SO HE IS AT THE AGE WHERE HE KNOWS A FEW WORDS AND
HOW TO PUT SOUNDS TOGETHER. MY 4 YEAR OLD KNOWS THE ALPHABET
SO
YESTERDAY WE PLAYED SCRABBLE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND EVEN FOR POINTS.
WE
COULD ONLY PLAY WHILST MY 16MONTH OLD SLEPT SO WE MUST OF PLAYED FOR
A GOOD HOUR OR TWO.
DURING
THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WORDS, LETTERS AND NUMBERS MY
CHILDREN KNEW.
CALLAN
(AGED 6), I FOUND WAS VERY INDEPENDENT AND COMPETITIVE, ABLE TO SPELL
SOME WORDS WITH FIVE LETTER IN ON HIS OWN.
BRYNDLY
(AGED 4) LOVED COUNTING THE NUMBERS AND SHOUTING OUT THE LETTERS,
KNOWING WORDS NO BIGGER THAN 2 LETTERS LONG. THIS WAS DUE TO
CURRENTLY LEARN SOME KEY WORDS FROM SCHOOL. (FRECRENCY WORDS)
CALLAN
I FOUND WAS IS ALSO VERY GOOD AT LONG DIVISION AND CAN DO LONG
DIVISION FOR AGED 7-11 YEAR OLD. (HE COMPLETED A WORK BOOK FOR THIS
AGE GROUP NEEDING VERY LITTLE SUPPORT.)
MYSLEF
I AM THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF THIS AND I AM HAVING MY 6 YEAR OLD WIPING
THE FLOOR WITH ME.
WE
ALSO USED THE DICTIONARY. I JUST WANTED TO GRAB MY PHONE AND SHOUT
INTO IT, SO THAT IT WOULD TELL ME THE CORRECT SPELLING AND THE
DIFFINITION OF A WORD.
BUT
I SAID TO MYSLEF “NO!”, “STOP!”.
I
NEVER LEARNED HOW TO USE A DICTIONARY UNTIL I WAS IN MY 20’S, I
FAILED MY GCSE ENGLISH DUE TO DYSLEXIA.
BUT
THE OTHER REASON I FAILED WAS DUE TO NOT KNOWING HOW TO USE A
DICTIONARY, KNOWING THE MEANINGS OF WORDS AND NOT KNOWING WHAT A KEY
WORD WAS.
SO
YESTERDAY I STARTED SHOWING CALLAN HOW A DICTIONARY WORKED AND GOT
HIM TO WRITE DOWN THE WORDS AND THEIR DICTIONARY DEFINITION.
SO
YESTERDAY CALLAN WAS TAUGHT WHAT IS A NOUN? I WILL DO A MINI TEST
WITH HOME ON FRIDAY TO SEE WHAT HE LEARNT THIS WEEK AND REMEMBERED.

So
one thing that I would recommend that people do is to start the
morning with music. Something uplifting to start the day with and
then some thing smoothing at night.

Eat Well", "Shop Well" and "Save Well" to HELP take care of YOU Time Management, Home Schooling, Working from Home
18th
March 2020
Time
Management. Time Management, Home Schooling, Working from Home
Over
the next couple of weeks time management is going to be very import
to everyone. How many time have you said to your self “their is
never enough hours in the day.”?
Over
the next few week that is how I belie many of use are going to start
to feel not to mention very stressed out and tired, both mentally and
physically.
All
I can say is take each day, day by day and make sure that you try to
eat well and sleep well.
Many
people will be currently looking at changing there life style with
looking at working from home and home school their children.
Many
of us will not just be worry about out selves but family and friends
to.
So
what can we do?
The
fist thing that I am aiming to do with my family is aim to stick to
the same routine that I would have stuck to as much as possible with
a few changes thrown in.
My
aim is to still wake up at the same time every day, eat at the same
time every day and sleep at he same time every day.
With
my children at home full time and not able to go any where I know
that this will be very challenging and stressful. I will aim to keep
each day fun and interesting for them. At the same time I will aim
to carry on with my own every day routine like cooking, cleaning,
taking care of the baby and working on my book.
I
will start by breaking the day down into units of 20 minuets and
aiming to do 20 minuet tasks just like I would do at eh weekend.
20
minuets breakfast
20
minuets get dressed
20
minuets work
20
minuets rest
20
minuets play
20
minuets snack
20
minuets rest
20
minuets work
20
minuets play
20
minuets work
20
play
20
lunch
20
rest
20
minuets (you get the picture) I am only looking at 20 minuet blocks
to start off with due to the change of having 3 children at home full
time and confined to a small space will be challenging.
I
know that my attention span and able to do any thing is about 20
minuets. To chive more than this it take time and practice epically
for children.
Some
time my children will be happy to engage in an activity for longer
than 20 minutes like watching TV or playing with cars.
But
they can not so that every day, I would like then to continue with
their education and I will be
need
to look at fun ways to achieve this whilst maintaining day to day
living too.
So
I will see what support and guidance is offered to support me before
Friday and then start to plans my daily activates.

Eat Well", "Shop Well" and "Save Well" to HELP take care of YOU Food Industry Machines That Are At Another Level !
With most business using machines to do most work that would have been done buy human hands, this lock sown should not mean a reduction in productivaty?
Yet a human touch is still need in order to oversea and maintain the quility and the quantity of the products produced.
People are also need to design the machines in the first pkaces and to fix them when they need fixing.
So maybe during this lock down if you find your self out of work, look at employment of training in a line of work that maybe reuired in the future like Enginering.

Eat Well", "Shop Well" and "Save Well" to HELP take care of YOU"SHOPPING SMART"
14th
March 2020 “SHOPPING SMART!”
Before
anyone one goes out and starts buying any thing next week, maybe this
weekend is the time to look a “SHOPPING SMART.” Take some time
over the next 72 hours to clean your home and pull out everything
that you have in your kitchen and bathroom; even check the attic or
outbuildings.
How
may of use will find food and other sinlessly
supplies that we have forgotten about?
Also
take this time to have a “CLEAN UP AND CLEAR OUT.” so that you
know what it is that you really NEED.
Because
at the moment it is TIME that is going to effect everyone in the long
run and their are other things that I believe that people should be
doing other that “PANIC BUYING” items that they think that they
may need.
At
the moment no one really knows what is going to happen in the next
3sec. 3min, 3hours, 3days, 3weeks, 3months, or 3 years.
To
me 3 is the magic number. So proving you have three of everything
that you may NEED, then it is a start.
-
It is the time that it takes of most products that we need to last. (food, warmth, shelver)
-
It is the length of time that it can can for something do be achieved or completed.(food, warmth, shelver)
-
It is usually the amount of time someone may have to have suitable amount of, food, warmth and shelter.
-
It it probably about the amount that people have to be financial secure and get (food, warmth, shelver)
-
It is usually the length of time one can aim to stay healthy, even if they are only living on baked beans. (food, warmth, shelver)
It
is these 3 key things that everyone needs on a daily basis to stay
health in mind, body and spirit.
(food,
warmth, shelver)
So
take some time to sit down over the next 72 hours and see what it is
you need and then think of the needs of those around you.
Your
family
Your
Friends
Your
Work Colleges
Your
neighbours
Your
local Community
Your
Regional Community
Your
National Community
Your
Country.
Beacuse
if you can not provide these three essential
things
for you self first in order to stay fit and well (food,
warmth, shelver)
How
are you going to provide then to other people.
So
look at shopping smart because if we do not then what is to say the
Government will not start steeping in and doing that for us.
I
for one do not want that two happen, this should be a last resort.
That
way when you do your shopping you know that you only need to buy one
or up to three of something that you really need.
I
always look at this way “ONE MEANS NONE.”

(My 2019) "Eat Well", "Shop Well" and "Save Well" to HELP take care of YOU BUDGET PLAN.
BUDGET PLAN FOR 2020.
Now might be a good time to think about doing a budget plan. With every thing happing right now, it may be time to look at your finance and what you need, want and desire in you every day life.
At the moment with the Corona Virus out break, the UK leaving the EU and the Budget not to far away now is the time to think about acting.
If you click on the link below it will go to a budget sheet that you might find help full and could look at filling in and keeping at copy of.
With having an online or paper copy, it is good to be able to keep an up to date budget sheet and see where you could look at saving money for the "rainy day fund" or for "emergencies."
Even if it is just making sure that you keep £5.00 in your phone case.
