Back to school

 

I feel very happy about coming back to school. At home in lockdown, there was three things that was the same as school. The first one was that Whaea Annie was still teaching us. Even though we stayed at home, we learnt a lot through google meets with Whaea Annie. The second thing was that we still did our todays slideshow. Every morning, Whaea Annie would cast onto google meet our today slideshow, and she would ask us each Kei te pehea koe, which meant how are you feeling today. We did the routine everyday. The last thing that was the same was that we did work on the class website. There was a lot of work to choose from and to keep us busy in lockdown. 

For example, on the class website, Whaea Annie made a Writing Slideshow which was very interesting. There was still some things that was different from school at home. We had no face to face talking, as we were on google meets. And we also didn’t have to finish at 3:00, as we could choose to keep on doing our work. Lastly, school didn’t start at 9:00, it started at 9:30. 

There were two things that I missed about school. The first is Whaea Annie. I missed having face to face conversations with her. The second is that I missed seeing my friends. During lockdown, I couldn’t see them, only on google meets. School has changed a little. We have to sanatise our hands when we come into class. There is another change, and it is that Artsplash is cancelled. I’m a bit disappointed about it. I enjoyed sharing on my blog and also doing as much maths as I like. My favourite activity from lockdown is planting. We were weeding in the garden, and also sprinkling some grass seeds on the dirt.

Overall, lockdown was a great experience, but I love going to school a lot more.
