In the national lockdown, only vulnerable or key workers’ children could attend in person with the rest learning at home.

FAMILIES booking a holiday to Greece this summer are being urged to opt for the smaller islands - as they will be getting the vaccine first. Seven per cent of the Greek population have been given the first dose of the Covid vaccine, compared to the UK's 32 per cent. However, Greece is one of the most popular holiday destinations for Brits, with tour operators including TUI and Jet2 seeing a huge booking boom for the country. The country's tourism minister Harry Theoharis has said that they are prioritising the smaller islands with fewer than 1,000 residents for the vaccine first. He told the Telegraph : "We’re vaccinating everyone on islands that have a population of less than 1,000 inhabitants.” “If you’re going to send a medical team to an island with a small population, it makes sense to vaccinate not just the elderly and vulnerable, but everyone."

Starfish can regenerate their arms, salamanders are able to grow new tails, and axolotls re-form their spinal cords - but scientists have found sea slugs that can grow a whole new body. Researchers discovered two species of sea slug that can grow bodies complete with a heart and other internal organs while observing them for other studies. One of the creatures was seen moving around without its body on one occasion, and another was seen doing the same thing twice. The head moved on its own immediately after being separated from the body - and within just days the wound at the back of the head had closed, according to the study published in peer-reviewed journal, Current Biology. The report also found the heads of young sea slugs started to feed on algae within hours of detachment, and they started regenerating a heart within a week, while the heads of older individuals died in about 10 days.
