Just when I was having a nice time at school, going out places in the sunshine and planning a family holiday later in the year... the coronavirus happened.
I don't really know what a coronavirus is - William think it's something big, like a bear, which will chase us if it sees us. Whatever it is, it can make people really sick, so while the coronavirus is outside we have to stay inside. That means I'm now sharing my room with William since Mum and Dad are using his bedroom as an office to do their work.
Because nobody is allowed to go out anywhere, that means school is shut. But the teachers say I still need to keep up with school work, so I've been doing some creative things while I've been stuck at home - like drawing pictures.
That one above is of a permerd (pyramid) in egept (Egypt). You can see all the steps up the sides of the pyramids and the spings (sphinx) which is guarding them. It's very hot in Egypt, as you can see because the temperature is 1000 degres.
I've done some other great drawings too, like this space book I made for Dad, including planet Earth, rockets, the sun and even the international space station. The drawing next to it is of a transformer robot, which turns into... well, just read the description I wrote.
But it's not just art I've been working on. I've also been writing stories, just like I normally do in class. These are two of the scary stories I've written - one about a skeleton and one about a vampire. Hope they're not too frightening for you!
So those are some of the creative things I've done during our first week of being stuck at home during the coronavirus. I'll share some more with you next time.
To our dear, dear Oli.
ReplyDeleteGrandma has just been reading your Dad’s latest blogs about you and William. Grandad and I have had so much fun and enjoyment hearing all about you, from when you were such a darling little boy, to when you grew much bigger when William came along and you had a playmate, (or should I say someone to argue with), and sometimes to share your toys with - even if he didn’t treat them as well as he should. But also someone to have fun times with, at the beach or the park. So Grandad and Grandma had two lovely boys to cuddle and to spoil, and when you came to visit us, it didn’t take either of you long to find out where I kept the little treats in the pantry, and even sometimes when Daddy or Mummy said NO, we managed to talk them around and give you both little goodies. That’s what Grandmas and Grandads are allowed to do!!
We are really lucky to have you both to watch grow up, hear your stories and enjoy fun times, even holidays sometimes, with you. Oli, we loved your stories about the skeleton and the vampire, even though they were a bit scary for Grandma, and William for all the help you have given us with your sweeping and clearing up not to mention all your digger stories and paw patrol!
We love you both dearly and can’t wait to hear more as you grow bigger.
Bye for now,
Grandma (& Grandad) xxxx������������
