Covid-19. Global. Pandemic. Lockdown.
We are not stuck and home, we are SAFE at home.
We are three days into the lockdown.
Since we have been at home we had a few 'hangouts' to keep in touch and see how everyone was doing. Kakapo Kids completed the work that was set for them from this week before we knew schools would be shutting. Mrs Cutler gave the kids a challenge on Thursday and then gave us task about Anne Frank yesterday.
We learned about Anne Frank, this put a few things into perspective for us. We compared Anne's situation with our own, read, answered comprehension questions, took a virtual tour through the annex reflected on our own questions. We talked about what we are grateful for and what changes will happen environmentally because of this. We talked about this being a reset... what changes will we make after this? What little things do we really appreciate now? How lucky are we that we are home with our family and safe. During the holidays Mrs Cutler has made a task board for us if we get bored.
The Kakapo Kids are writing in a diary like Anne did, recording their thoughts, feelings and activities during this time. They are also making a time capsule. Because this is a huge event in history and they are a part of it.
Our learning has always been accessible online but these challenges gave us a chance to practice some remote learning skills. Skills like being a problem solver, an active learner and how to be proactive and manage our time, ourselves and our learning. We will need these after Easter when Term 2 starts back remotely!
