Lockdown!

Lockdown!

 Hello, last week Tuesday, the whole country went into lockdown, (level 4!)  At First I was really disheartened, because me and my friends were going to do a bake sale, and also I was going to perform the the bandquest with a couple of friends. So I was down. The only up side I could think of was, no school for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!  

Day 1

The first day of lockdown started slow but steady, or you could say BORING! Dad had said no tv or screens until the afternoon.  So, that was a deal breaker.  Although... Dad had driven to go get my brother from boarding school, in Auckland. Which meant only one thing... Drive mum nuts, and then watch tv. My plan worked in about twenty minutes, and I also drove Isaac, (my brother)  nuts as well. So I look at that and say a job well done! You might think, how is she staying fit?

Day 2

In the morning, I decided  I wanted to strengthen my thighs, upper arms and core, so that's what I did.  It was physically hard, and mentally hard. The Thigh workouts I do are called, Focus on Inner Thigh, Tone and Tighten. The other workout is called, 10Minit Inner and outer thigh work out.  Later that day I made my lavender candles, and picked lavender off the side of my driveway, to dry so them so I can make lavender pouches. 

Day 3

I woke up, did my workouts, and went on on demand, to try find an at home learning program, but I didn't succeed, so read a bit of my AMAZING cupcake book! I think the recipe that tickled my fancy the most was peanut butter and banana cupcakes. In the late hours of the afternoon, I made cheese and spinach savory muffins, PS they're amazing as well! 

 

Learning from home

For me I think I was more focused at home but it was definitely a lack of socialising with friends and other people besides my family. I loved being able to create things and pick what I wanted to do for the week. Plus being able to enjoy spending time with my family. I think this helped me to be more creative.

It was not the same as laughing with your friends. Or geting the shimmy on to get your work done but getting told off by your parents because I hit my brother was close enafue.

I wish I could have just seen all of my friends at the same time.  I think my favorite week was ANZAC week because I learnt alot about my great great grandpa Pompy.

I learnt about a big part of New Zealand's history of world war 1.  Me and my mum found it fascinating to learn about our family line. My Teachers Koka Ngaire and Koka Terri were very supportive along the way.  It was a rollercoaster with ups and downs but it was fun.  

Me and my brother also climbed my school maunga and here is a photo.
