It was a normal Friday afternoon when I was sitting in the classroom doing my Religion lesson. Then one of our teachers came into the classroom. He was telling us that the government had been telling all parents to keep their children at home for the safety of their families. You are probably wondering why we had to stay home. There was this massive killing virus going around. It was called "Corona Virus" also known as COVID 19. Soon after we were told to stay home, the government made up the decision to close down all cafes, pubs, clubs, hairdressers, and more. The only places that were open were shopping centers, chemists, and hospitals.

All people were isolated from everyone for several weeks. I was in Year 7. All the children had to go online and do there classwork on the computer. This time was very stressful. I found it so much easier to have a teacher standing in front of me explaining all the tasks to me. 8 weeks later we were allowed to go back to school. Only a few schools opened up, and I was lucky enough to have mine open back up. There are still many cases of COVID 19 going around. But our teachers are always telling us that school is the safest place to be as it was only built recently and we only have our grade here, year 7. But if there were more classes there would be higher chances of someone catching it. Now thinking about it I am so grateful that I am in a safe environment. I know I will be safe here. I can't wait until this horrible disaster settles down so I can get back to living a normal life with not so much chaos around me. 2020
