Kids Corner

The Kids Corner section of this fortnight’s newsletter is written by some of our amazing Year 3 students who would like to share their piece for the “Living Through a Pandemic” time capsule:

These Days.

We all used to looking out the window wondering what this world is holding for us. Well I guess, we now know. When we looked out the window, we used to see cars honking, people chattering and birds singing. All of a sudden, this changed when Covid-19 showed up. Our precious world changed so differently, to become not being able to see no cars, no people chattering and birds no birds singing to pitch.

All we tasted was sadness, our world falling out of the love it used to have. Me and my family used to run through flower meadows, but now the flowers had fallen dead. All of us in 2020 used to talk freely, nothing stopping us. Now we wear face masks and use hand sanitizer all the time, wherever we go and for whatever we do.

All of the people used to roam freely, now we take tests, lots of breathing tests. Whenever we hop into our car, police officers are everywhere, patrolling the area.

Famous singers were singing perfectly, throwing concerts every now and then. Now the government says no big parties! This is a tragedy we are living through. The sun always used to come out and shine on top of our house and buildings, but now it seems as if it doesn’t even show up. The moon shining in a white glow, now the moon is in a dim black light. Now let me tell you more😊. On the news, there are 175 active cases, which means 175 people with Covid-19. We all are locked in our houses, finally allowed to travel 25km now instead of 5, and 10 people from two households to meet up only.

So soon our world will be Covid-19 free! How lucky! When you are reading this in the future, the world will be rid of this virus! So you are REALLY lucky. My dog can’t go on walks with this annoying virus going around. Covid-19 is also known as the coronavirus, just letting you know if you want more knowledge in this topic.

Doctors are risking their lives for us. Let’s all give 3 cheers for the doctors and the people staying strong during this pandemic. Staying apart to keeps us together.

Living through the Miserable Year

I was going to school not knowing what Covid was holding something new, school’s gate shut, classrooms quiet and empty. No one was there except for me, I asked myself “What’s going on?” until my Dad shouted “look at the news ‘’. I ran over to my Dad said ‘’you have to do learning from home ‘’. I was shocked, when I reached home there was a feeling of been heartbroken of being a part from my friends and my teacher. I could see them in online meetings but only in 2D not in 3D and I couldn’t even play with them. I could only talk with them on chat.

When there were technical issues there was nobody to help butterflies were flying crazy in my tummy and I had to do this nearly for a year I couldn’t see my friends or play with them we had to stay home for nearly a year. The streets were empty no chit chatter everyone inside miserable. The cities were closed, no crowds, no going outside what was wrong? But it was all because of Covid .

First there were crowds full of laughs but now it is gone. On birthdays there were no laughs it was just online seeing people but we still talked with them but we couldn’t play with them there were no parties just at home.

This was a weird miserable year. Was this what Covid was holding now? Yes it was I felt it was a lie but it wasn’t it just happened all in front of me imagine this happened to you? It will be like your mum locked you in the bathroom for one year! And the story about the Covid happened to me imagine how I felt like. But doctors are trying their best to remove it they are fighting for us they are fighting for the world that’s why I am grateful to the doctors who are supporting us and helping us.

Dear future children,

A long time ago there was a global pandemic called covid 19 or coronavirus it was a big impact on our lives. Parks were closed, schools were closed, shopping malls where closed, we couldn’t go overseas. The whole world was nearly closed and human beings felt scared, lonely, frustrated, afraid, heartbroken, emotional. We couldn’t celebrate our birthday, drops where falling from people’s eyes they were crying. In the night people couldn’t sleep thinking about covid 19. We couldn’t even cuddle anyone we had to hand sanitise every moment. We couldn’t see any cars outside we couldn’t take fresh air.

We couldn’t hear any cars or any noise of people sounding happy. We had too much technology because we had school for online learning and meeting from our computer on Teams not seeing anyone like our peers or teachers our eyes where hurting we couldn’t go to restaurants.

We all were locked up. We were confused we had feelings the cases of covid 19 where not getting in control we had waves wave 1 wave 2 that means that we were locked up in our houses we couldn’t go to anyone’s house what should we do? Everyone asked in their minds can you believe this?

Boring days

Every morning, before we go to school, we think ‘What will the world bring for us today’. Cars were honking, streets filled with laughter and chatter, birds singing and dancing and delicious smells outside by the evening.

But, on the 25th of January, EVERYTHING changed to this amazing world. I looked out one evening, and I could hear nothing except birds screeching. I thought that the birds would have flown away. I could smell nothing at all.

COVID-19, has taken over our beloved world. The moon used to be white and shiny, but now it was dim and dark. If you looked closely you could see a miserable face on the, black moon.

I thought the world was locked in danger. The world tasted sadness, all day and night.

Every day, I go out and see my dog, he always runs to the gate thinking we are going out for a picnic or a long walk, he always gives me these puppy dog eyes bout I regret and feel heartbroken when I have to say “Not today”.

The virus is WICKED and has changed us. Schools were doing Learning from Home, (LFH) like Glen Waverley Primary School. (GWPS)

Doctors, nurses and scientists were doing all they can to fight the virus. Let’s all give three cheers to them:

HIP HIP HOORAY!
