Hi guys! Sorry I haven’t written anything for so long. I’ve been on my Easter holidays and for the 3 weeks, I decided to detox from my laptop, which is why you haven’t heard from me for so long. I got inspired by the letter our Chief Master sent out to us, where she told us all her plans for the 3 weeks, including learning to make her own ice cream and experimenting with cooking out of her comfort zone - fun!
So aside from helping Mrs Mom and Mr Dad with our homeschool, I’ve decided to give Fatimah and Ali some French lessons too, so their normal routine is livened up by something they wouldn’t normally learn. I myself have taken on some new languages to keep myself busy - Swedish and Irish Gaelic. Well, more Swedish than Irish Gaelic, to be honest!
Plus, since we are in lockdown, I thought it would be a good idea to bring some of the outside into the house! So that’s why I’ve been keeping myself occupied with the makeshift indoor garden I’ve cobbled together in the living room! Even my friend has been inspired to start his own indoor garden in his bedroom! So far, he’s got a cactus and a sunflower to take care of. It’s actually quite relaxing and fun to take care of all of them - plus, it compensates for the fresh air we’re not getting coz we get fresh air from the plants too! Other than that, I’ve been working on some more writing projects of my own too…
Many of you have wanted to find out more about my distance learning experience. Well, like I said, I have been on my Easter holidays these past three weeks. As much as we all enjoy an extended holiday, me and my classmates have all been eager for the start of term. We’ve all been missing each other, and we’ve been looking forward for school to start again. But since term officially starts tomorrow, we’ll be able to talk to each other again (online, of course).
And plus, I’ll be able to share more about my online learning journey! So starting from tomorrow, I’ll be back in the routine of having live school lessons and working together with my friends - all from the comfort of my own home, Alhamdulillah! Stay tuned for more posts from me, coz I’ll definitely be updating more about my online learning experience for the students, teachers and everyone else who are curious to know more about my e-learning journey.
Stay safe,
Omar Mukhtar
