Term 2 Highlights yay!

This term has been a whirlwind, with too many activities taking place. This term was particularly long as it merged with half of term 1 then the holidays, and now term 2! This specific term has been for nearly 22 weeks! As you know through the COVID-19 crisis schools were closed and kids were forced to do school through online meetings with their teachers. This happened all around the globe, when the world entered lockdown.

Lockdown was particularly fun, school was easy, more sleep-in’s and more chilled, I do miss it. But you never saw your friends. That was a bummer. When we appeared in school everything was different, desks spread apart, hand sanitiser appearing in the teacher’s hands before you came or left. There’s too many highlights to choose, skateboarding, tech, matariki, assembly’s and WAY more. This term has been a hurricane, too many things colliding.

My particular favourite activity was skateboarding where everyone had 30 mins to learn how to skateboard every Tuesday and Thursday, it is obsessively fun. Thanks to our instructors, Laurence and Simon. They are absolute PRO’s. From the moment they put us on a skateboard they showed us how to do tricks! The famous Ollie, the Coffin, the Meditate, even how to ride on two wheels, it was CRAZY fun.

3 Quotes - Easter Learning Journey

Ohh! Again:
Now that we're at Level Alert 4 and everyone's isolated from each other, people find this as a great opportunity to go on their phones and contact my mum every 6 seconds. She has to grab her phone talk for ages then finally gets off and another person rings and it just repeats and repeats. Like seriously can I just get some time to spend with my mum! More than once she's just sat down to chill or sleep and all the while you hear her saying Ohh! Again.

Noah!:
In our house Noah is renowned for many things, but when he's got his earphones in and blasting music he tends to not listen, so you either have to yell at his face, splash water, or smack him. But even when he's just got his annoying ears he still doesn't listen which drives my mother crazy and she yell's at the top of her lungs to get Noah's attention. I on the other hand splash water, it's much more fun!

Bubble Formation:
Whenever we go outside for a family walk we do what we call Bubble Formation which is the entire family crowding and hugging Levi to protect him from any diseases the outside world offer. It's a silly rule but it actually generates laughter between the family and random people as they just see us chasing a family member and hugging them acting as a human shield. Just imagine once all this COVID-19 stuff was over we could use the Bubble Formation against random people, we'd look like a bunch of idiots.
