Stock picture For thousands of parents across Bucks, Friday marked the final day of homeschooling after months of remote learning amid a third national lockdown. Ahead of children returning to the classroom tomorrow (Monday), we asked parents how they felt about schools reopening and whether they were ready to send their children back to classrooms. Dozens of readers commented on the Bucks Free Press Facebook page, with many saying teachers and vulnerable school staff should have been prioritised for vaccines. Sarah Baxter, who is an ICU nurse, said: “Glad for the mental health of the children but a bit worried as an ICU nurse that we’ll see numbers rise again. Teachers should have been vaccinated before they reopened,” while Sally Elizabeth commented: “Totally happy to send them back. I just hope that any vulnerable staff have had their vaccine or are allowed to work from home until they have.”

American scientists are working on a plan to grow wood in a laboratory without sunlight or soil.
Ashley Beckwith, lead author of the study, said her hope is that lab-grown wood could one day supplement traditional forestry methods.
Her team is growing the wood by using a 3D-printed gel to mould plant cells into the desired shape.
The technology could be used to create wooden parts or planks, which could then be used in a piece of furniture.
Speaking on BBC 5 Live s Naga Munchetty Programme, Ms Beckwith said the world was facing an ever increasing demand for plant-based products, whether that be food, materials for infrastructure, consumer goods and even crops needed for bio-energy fuels, and we re working with a finite area of farmable land .
