What I like
What I don’t like about it.
What I prefer
I like that I can wake up late and I don’t have to put on my blazer. I enjoy building Lego and also staying in the garden. Some evenings I ride my scooter in the garage. I love playing tennis with my sister. Together as a family we spend time watching The Flash.
I miss the School, my teacher and all my friends. I also wish that I have zoom lessons with Ms Lisa, because I love and enjoy art. I don’t like staying at home because I like going out.

What I like about Online Schooling:
- I do not have to wear my uniform.
- I am always with my parents.
- There is no rush to sleep at night because I do not have to wake up early the next morning.
- I can have regular snack breaks , and can eat whatever I want.
- I am always comfortable at home being taught while I am sitting on my comfy chairs.
What I don’t like about Online Schooling:
- I don’t like that I am away from my friends and not being able to play together.
- It is not normal to write all this work at home other than when I am sick.
- Breakout rooms on Zoom aren’t as much fun as when we are in class working in groups.
- I miss helping my friends like I usually do when I finish my classwork.
- We have no computer , P.E, relgion and art lessons.
- We now have shorter lessons and shorter breaks.
- When someone in class has his birthday, we are not able to share a yummy cake altogether.
I am dying to go back to school to feel normal once again and be able to have fun with my friends again.
I would rather go to school than stay at home. I prefer going to school, as it is bigger than our homes.

Because of the Covid-19 I have to stay at home and do lessons at home, in this short essay I'm going to explain my feelings and thoughts about school at home.
I like staying at home because I am with my family. However, it means that I cannot be with my friends. One of the advantages of Zoom is that I can see my friends during the lessons. But it is not the same as being at school with them.
In addition, it gets boring to stay in front of a screen. Staying at home can be dull because my parents have work to do and we cannot go outside to play.
I prefer going to school because I can play football with my friends and on Zoom I can't. I also prefer going to school because I can play in open spaces.

What I like about school at home
Since I am doing school from home I do not need to wake up early. Also, I can eat my favourite breakfast which is bread with Nutella slowly slowly.
I do not need to put my uniform on. I can just put on any kind of shirt and shorts I like.
At home I do not need to change my shoes like I do at school. I can stay barefooted or with socks.
Also, staying at home gives me the opportunity to spend more time with my daddy.
What I don’t like about school at home
Since I am doing school at home I cannot see my friends and play with them on the lawn. We cannot do the sports day and the spring concert.
I cannot sing with my classmates like we do during our music lesson or draw and paint like we do in the art room at school.
Another thing which I do not like about home school is that sometimes my teacher does not see me when I raise my hand to read. I like to read a lot in front of my friends.
The thing I hate most about home school is that unlike the other mummies, my mummy cannot stay with me.
What I prefer
I prefer learning at school rather than at home because at school I can answer a lot of questions and stay with my friends.

I really miss going to school and I miss my friends too, however, I also enjoy staying at home with my family and my pets. I have two lovely pets one is a cat called Herbie who is 8 years old, 1 year older than me and our newest addition a little cute Cavalier King Charles puppy called Gigi. They are both very cute, but if I go back to school I will miss my family and pets.
Although I like going to school because I like learning with my friends in class. I also like staying at home. I can have fun with my family. In view of Covid-19 we can’t go and see our friends and everything else. I really hope we can play tennis and football training again soon. I am missing class with my friends, I also miss the teachers. The teachers teach us interesting stuff,I am missing miss Dorianne and her lessons too. I miss doing our amazing crafts with miss Ms. Lisa.

Online lessons the good things is I don’t have get up early and I can always with my parents and I can learn in my home and I don’t have to wear uniform.
But the bad thing is I miss my friend, and football field, and I can’t play P.E. and art lesson, and I miss the playground. I want come back to school, because I want play with my friend, and I want play P.E., that why I want come back school.

Since the Corona Virus started our lives changed. All the schools closed, the tennis courts closed, the swimming pools closed, the football pitches closed. We had to stay home. Lessons were done on Zoom. I do not like Zoom. I much prefer school.
A few things I do not like about Zoom are that when I put my hand put Ms. Bartolo does not always see me.
I am not in class with my friends. I can not go on the pitches. This makes me sad. Also breaks are a bit too short.
A few things I like about Zoom are I do not have to wake up early. I can stay in comfy clothes. I don’t have to drive to school in traffic.
I much prefer school than Zoom. School is fun! I like being in class with everyone. Ms. Bartolo can see us all. I miss getting reward tickets, I miss P.E., art, music and drama.
I don’t miss the black dots and our uniform is a bit too thick.
Going to school with my friends makes me happy. Staying at home for too long is boring.

Since there is the Covid19 we have online lessons and not go to school.
I like zoom because we finish early. I get to see my lovely animals and plants earlier.
I also read my animal books. I can draw, play and make crafts earlier too and also play video games. I could go for walks, help mum wash the house and help dad cook.
I could feed my mice, dog and take my dog for a walk.
The things I don’t like about not attending school are because I miss my school, my teacher
and my friends. I feel that from home I am learning less. I like to draw and paint so I miss art lessons. At school I understand more than zoom lessons. I also miss playing with my friends in the break.
I am so eager to go back to school with my teacher and friends.

My mummy told me to stay at home because of coronavirus. I can’t go to school anymore and my teacher will use the computer for the lessons.
It’s really strange because I see my parents very scared and always they call my grandparents in Italy to see if everything is ok.
I like to stay at home because I can play with my brother using my toys and my videogames.
I can sleep so much and I can choose my clothes every day and I can’t use my uniform.
I miss my friends and to play altogether in the field.
I miss my class and my teachers that are very kind with all of us.
I don’t like the lessons with the computer. For me are a little bit boring.
