Dear Mrs Robbins,
I have not been in a car for three weeks,
Normally I would be going to school most days.
I am used to getting up at 7:30 and now I can sleep till whatever time I want and not have to get up so early for school nearly each morning. The hardest thing for me is not being able to see all my friends and family and going out anywhere.The things I enjoy about having to stay home is that you get more family time with my parents and playing games with them, I also like to practise my tricks on the tramp, the trick i am learning is a front handspring and a aerial.
Technology has helped me connect with friends and family members, I have been face timing them everyday.My Aunty Katie from Christchurch had her baby the other week so it was good that I could still see them through facetime, because we can’t go visit them yet. Her name is Adalyn and she was born on her mums birthday, she is very cute.
A movie that I really enjoyed was the smurfs and the lost village and hop on Easter Sunday. On Easter I had an easter egg hunt around my house with clues to solve. A book that I have been reading over the past three weeks is the 104 story treehouse. My favourite youtube channel is Rebecca Zamolo, because I love the mysteries and the clues that she has to solve and she also does fun challenges like last to leave challenges.
Me and my mum were bored so we decided to make a house and a pool made out of cardboard. The first week of isolation, me, my dad and my mum went camping in our own backyard, we made a fire and cooked dinner on it. We had sizzlers and hot chips with tomato sauce. Then when mum and dad were asleep the cat climbed up the tent and woke us up. Then she left and came back for cuddles and went to sleep on me.

I first read this letter on Hapara and I was so impressed. I'm impressed by your writing and by all the fun activities you and your family have been doing. It is so good to see you learning@home, Mylah.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lockdown letter Mylah, it can be pretty hard during this time and it’s special to see that you are face timing other family members each day.
ReplyDeleteThe hard part sometimes is thinking of new things to do and you have had some great ideas!
Did you put water in your cardboard pool?
This lockdown reminds me of when I take my family camping, there’s lots of family time and games.
So it’s fun to see you did that in your backyard too (Milan had one night in her tent last week, then on the next night it half blew away!)
