School This Week

School This Week

Hello Fellow Bloggers.

Some work we did this week was an article on the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, also a chapter summary, for chapters eleven to fifteen, also for maths, we completed two google slides of angles and coordinates on maps.

For Maori this week we are making a piece of art, with pastels on koru, and other Maori artwork designs like ferns.

I also completed a letter for the future generation which will be opened in two thousand and six two.

This was some of the work that we completed this week.

now that the lockdown is over and we can go to school we have more options, and we can see our teachers in person, so it is easier to do work.

It has been very fun to come back to school and see my friends again.

Here is my writing for the time capsule:

Dear Future Generation...

It happened very suddenly but still very destructively.  Today I am informing you from the year 2020, from the ending of a crisis pandemic that has helped shape the world both a little bit better and a little bit worse. It changed the world in many ways from what it was before the nastily destructive disease of Covid-19 decided to affect the world and take many lives that would have had the chance to live longer perhaps even better.  But this infuriatingly annoying parasite ended them. My name is Henry Robertson, age twelve.  I am currently explaining this to you from Marshland School, Christchurch, New Zealand.

This cataclysmic event has been the annoyance and disturbance of many otherwise peaceful lives.

But still even though it has been calamitous and fatal it has also given animals and plants the chance to regrow and heal from the destruction that we have caused to their lives in the form of climate change and even their habitats which we have laid waste to for our own luxuries that are not in any way vital to our immediate survival.

This plague is currently believed to have begun in Wuhan, China, possibly from the consumption of a bat or a snake,  and then spread rapidly across Europe taking many hundreds and eventually thousands of lives.

It spread further due to flying and other forms of international travel across many parts of the world and has resulted in many life losses peaking mainly in the country's which were last to react like the USA and Italy.

We were some of the first few to react and slowly contain the virus by using levels of quarantine to loosen the virus's control over us.  This was thanks to our amazing government and the speed they put us into lockdown to help slowly eliminate Covid-19.

Some countries did not have medical staff able to fight this disease nor the budget to help their country fight against it, this is why I am grateful to be a New Zealander.

In my personal opinion I felt very fearful when this illness put us into a long and panicked lockdown, but I knew our hardships would eventually let us gain our goal of eradicating this parasite. In fact, I felt very sure we had won the long war, but we had only just won the battle.

This is because we began our death toll which ended up much higher than thought originally, because those most vulnerable such as the elderly, or those suffering from other forms of sickness or disease got sick.

For Christucrch It all began in Rosewood rest home when one visitor passed the virus to an elderly person and then began New Zealand's deaths. I remember it starting slowly but killing off the elderly one by one until we had over twenty deaths which are nothing compared to other countries that had over twenty thousand but are still tragic.

The virus cases eventually reached zero per day and have mostly stayed that way ever since.

I am looking forward to sports beginning again and am still scared of the many horrible things that the world has endured. I hope that you readers are not, or never will have to suffer through as horridly destructive a time as this.

I am very grateful that I have survived this pandemic and I hope that this great country of New Zealand never again has to withstand such powerful casualties due to an enemy that is so small yet still so very destructive.

How is the world for you?

Are you going through something similar?

Are there still cars and boats?

How has the world changed from now(2020) till then?

Who is the prime minister?

Kind Regards Henry Robertson.

Here is the work I did:

Thank you for looking at my work, I think that I did okay but need to improve with my angles next time.

Thank you for reading my work and please leave a comment.
