Bubble school

Bubble school

Yesterday we had school. It's not normal at school because we have to stay 1 metre away from others and do work. It's strange because there are not a lot of us at school. There are about 3 bubbles but we are not allowed to interact with other bubbles. We have different kind of year levels at school in our bubble, we have ( year 3 - year 7 ) and more. When we have morning tea and we go and play outside we still have to stay 1 metre away from others. On morning tea we were doing some spots we did some running racing and more. Then we went back to our classroom we did some catch up for maths and reading and DLO. After we did all of that it was lunch time. In lunch time we did some bike riding around the school but after 30 minutes playing on the bikes we had to put the bikes back but we got to keep our own helmet to our self too. Really strange right. And then we had to go to class.

All the bubbles had their own spaces to play outside. All of the kids in different bubbles get our own IMac to ourselves. It’s really strange a whole iMac to ourselves. We are doing online school at school, super strange. Do you think it’s strange? There are about 8 people in my bubbles i don’t know about the other bubbles so yeah we don’t move to literacy or maths. And all of us had to stay in the same class all day, oh and we finish at 2:30 now.some of us will walk home or some has to get pick up from school.
