Dear Mrs Robins
The month is now April and a lot has changed.
School is not the same, there is no sound of a bell at 9:00, no teacher standing in front of me and no friends or games of American football at lunchtime.
Visits to Nana and Grandad’s are different, I wave hello from outside the sliding door, Nana leaves her baking outside for me to collect.
I’m missing biking to Kumara and the start of hockey season but most of all I’m missing hanging out with my friends.
It’s not all bad, I like that I am allowed to stay up later, have breakfast and lunch whenever I want. I have enjoyed playing motorbike games on cool maths games.
I’ve been really slack and have not read a book but I promise Mrs Robins I will start reading. I have watched a funny movie called Yogi Bear and spent a lot of time at the horses.
I now realise how much I miss sport and my friends, and that my sisters ain't too bad. They are fun to play with just a little bit annoying. My Mum and Dad do a lot of housework while we are at school and I live in a kind neighbourhood that put teddy bears in their windows for kids
like me to see while out walking.
Look Forward to seeing you standing in front of me again

I first read this letter in your writing folder and I am very impressed with it. I can understand how much you are missing sport, Sam, because you are so good at it. I'm not missing sport so much, but I am looking forward to seeing children at school again!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up with this great learning@home. Your Mum and Dad and sisters are great teachers!
Hi Sam,
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful letter you wrote. I know it’s really hard not to see your Nana and Grandad, but waving to them is what we do to keep them safe, the cookies must be yummy though!
I can tell you’re missing your friends and sport, all your friends feel the same too, one day soon you will all be able to play again. I love the yogi bear movie too , how many bears have you seen on your walks down the street?
Thanks Sam. :)
