Netflix; Pandemic Series

Yesterday Room 1 & 7 collaborated on watching a Netflix series = the pandemic. During today we wrote down as many important factual statements we should know about the virus. Some questions were difficult but together we managed to do perfectly fine.

What Did I Do During Lockdown??

First Day Back At School! 📚

Today was our (for some students) first day back at school after many weeks in lockdown. Everything felt very different and indeed the rules changed so, it's taking me time to adjust to them. We couldn't touch much objects or stand by anyone close to us, but other than that my day went well. 

It did feel a lot quiet and I did become bored sometimes resulting in me having a few little headaches in between class sessions. I do hope everything will work out in the end and I become more aware & comfortable with the new rules applied to the school. Stay safe! :)
