During the start of lockdown, Mrs. Grady was wondering about how her students were feeling about being at home during the lockdown and she wrote this poem about how they may be feeling.
A Window into My 2020 Lockdown
Alert Level 3 was the call
Auckland city it hit us all
From midday till midnight
To investigate why? Is it right?
A new announcement from Jacinda
The whole nation thinking hinder
3 days turned into 12 days
While the virus was making waves.
This can’t be true!
But I think I’ll get through
The PM keeping us calm
So nobody comes to harm.
“Stay home in a bubble
Stay out of trouble
Do puzzles and play
Make use of your day.”
I can play on the tramp
Ride my scooter on a ramp
Read a book to relax
Or eat my favourite snacks.
Still, I think I’ll be happy
Better than being crappy
Mom! A device did you say?
Just stay home and play.
Keeping each other company
With open arms and in harmony
Be kind, be safe and be vigilant
Lending a helping hand is brilliant.
A second wave of the virus lockdown
People are advised not to congregate around
Too many people aren’t good
If you want to stay safe in your hood.
With a helpline number available
Asking everyone to be sensible
Any support with a device
Gets sent without compromise.
TLN Student wifi is a necessity and a life saviour
