Read some quarantine reflections…
“Because of quarantine a lot of things changed in my life. As a growing kid it was a bit hard to consume all the changes that had happened in the past few months. Not meeting my friends, using hangouts, but mostly Homeschooling. This was one of the hardest things to adapt to. Not just for me, to people all over the world. For example, kids with no tech from school are not able to learn for some time. Also, we have to find assignments by ourselves and asking help is another problem. And there are some plus points in home schooling. We can wake up later than usual, We have the whole day to finish our work, etc. Homeschooling is something most kids haven’t experienced before.”
“I have learned a lot during this quarantine, but one thing stood out to me the most. I learned to see and appreciate the little things in life. I learned that you should show your strengths not your weaknesses. I also learned that we are strong when we are together and weak when we are shattered apart. This is why at times I throw my problems away and think of the bigger problems like homeless people and ill people. I realize that rather than being selfish I should care for everyone in this world. This is what I learned in quarantine, since it’s quiet and I can think to myself. There are people in this world that do noble acts and nobody realizes them or thanks them. These are the people I want to think about. All people should be treated equally, no matter what. So, when everything goes back to normal I wish we all treat each other better; with kindness, love, and equality. This is what I learned and this is my message.”
Our students have been busy…
“I learnt how to build a gaming pc”
“Sometimes I read a book called “The Land of Story’s,” The book is about a pair of twins that go on adventures in a fairytale world.”
“I often spend my free time nowadays walking in my front or backyard, because I find it relaxing and easy to daydream when I’m walking. This is when I get all my most important thoughts out of my head. “
3 of our students told us that they play with their friends…
“In the summer I play outside in the evening. My friends and I play with water guns and have bike races.”
“During the Quarantine, I played with my friends with wearing masks.”
“I have been playing with my brother and talking to friends through my ipad”
…and 2 of our students told us they were doing art
“I started doing more art in my free time during quarantine.”
“I do a lot of crafts.”
