*.+ {Normal School} ~ Day 10 ~ Interesting week for me! Well, not extremely interesting. +.*

Kia Ora Beautiful Tim Tamz,

Combined Blog Post about my week once again! How are you all feeling? I know I feel way better than I did on Wednesday and Thursday {It wasn't coronavirus don't worry}.

*.+ {Normal School!} ~ Day 5 ~ Keeping up to date on schoolwork is kinda hard... +.*

Hello, Beautiful Tim~Tamz,

It's been basically 8 Weeks since I've last been in school and it feels weird. I've gotten so used to normal school everyday life that the moment lockdown hit I freaked out in away. My emotions went w i l d and it gave me some self-time. Overall it was a rollercoaster, emotionally, and physically. But It was worth it because it cleared the fog in my brain about my feelings and it got me into the habit of writing down my feelings.

Over the lockdown period, I was reading the book and watching the movie about the Wizard of Oz. And in my opinion, I think it covers some serious topics in a less grim way. My Teacher has set us to create a google site about wizard of oz and some topics we want to cover. Here is a current screenshot of the home page as it's not complete. but I will add a link once it's finished :)

For Math I've been answering these algebra questions using a program called Kaggle. It uses a coding language called Python to answer some math questions. Although you don't use the normal multiplication symbol nor division, instead you use these symbols. / = a fraction or division, * = times or multiplication, **3 = a certain number times 3 but in a shorter way and + symbol for plus. Brackets are also used for some occasions. Here is a picture of my slide for some evidence :)

Apart from that I've been living life to its fullest! How have you been going with your schoolwork? I'd love to know! Well See you in the next blog post! Toodles <3

{P.S ~ If you are feeling down or in need to ask for help about mental health or something else, just know that it's ok to ask and reach out. I'm here as well if you need to speak to someone. <3 Stay safe.}

*.+ {Normal School!} ~ Day 5 ~ FINALLY! I now have gone somewhere other than home :) +.*

Bonjour Beautiful Tim~Tamz,

Sorry for my 2-week absence, I forgot to post one week and wasn't feeling well the other! Apart from that how are you all? I do hope you and your families are feeling ok and aren't so paranoid anymore. I've been recently considering what life will be like after lockdown, and let me tell you I bet a lot more people are more aware of sicknesses.

All kids on Monday the 17th of May went back to school! And let me tell you that I really missed school, and I don't normally say that... {Sorry Teachers, it's not you!} And I felt really happy to be able to go somewhere other than my mother's home and my father's. But I was also happy to see my friends in person again because seeing them on calls just isn't the same.

If I was to give a reflection of my time in lockdown, I'd call it eventful. At the start, I was kind of panicking due to what the other countries like America have dealt with Covid-19. But progressively I became a bit more calmer and I noticed that throughout lockdown was a time to actually see who's a good president {or prime minister} and who isn't. And it's pretty clear that NZ is blessed with our lovely President.

Towards the end of lockdown however I really was going insane, because humans need to socialize and communicate with each other and this lockdown period and strange time have proven that pretty clearly. But It's also made me express my thoughts and write them down so I can get things off my shoulders, and I do truly recommend that because it does work!

I also learned some new things in lockdown, like what a Fractal is {a closed shape with an infinite perimeter} and a technique for Multiplying and Dividing Fractions. And It's quite easy! Basically, you take the question {1/13 x 4/7} and do this technique! 1x13 and 4x7 = 13 and 28 = 13/28! And that's how you do it!

In words, it's basically you grab the fraction and turn it into a multiplication question and then add the two answers together. and for division, it's an extra step. Take the same question and flip the easiest fraction around and do the same technique. You get the same answer :)

I do hope you find that technique interesting and what I've said inspiring in some way! I do hope you are all safe and happy and I'll see you in the next blog!

Toodles!~ <3
