Lockdown



Hey guys, right now I am stuck at home going crazy in my room. Due to Coronavirus, every body is stuck in their houses doing stuff. In the past 5 days, I have made and done a lot of stuff I could not do while I was at school. here, I'll show you some. we did some amazing art. It took a while but we found stuff to paint on such as bricks canvases and paper. We also played settlers of Catan. (a really good game.)You are trying to get ten victory points to win the game. Build houses and citys to get victory points. Next, we played with our Lego for like 3 hours. Katie was building a city while i was building an army base. Look to the right side of my blog post to see some pictures. Then we made some forts. They were ginormous! One of them was made out of bamboo. We were working for 1 hour to make the bamboo fort. The other fort was connecting me and my sisters room together. Every morning we go on a 30 minute walk down to the dog park or the playground. We don't
play on the playground but we do climb the trees. My Favourite tree is one that is
super high and has lots of branches. Everyday me and my sisters go out side and play bus. Bus is a game where one person is in a chair which is connected to a rope. This person is the bus driver. The other person stands on a tree and tries to get on the chair. Once the other person
 is on the driver of the bus tries to shake the other person off.

Hope you guys are okay during self-isolation, see you soon!
-Tristan

  1. Awesome job following through on your email Tristan. You may think you are bored but you have got creative because of it. Good job. I love making huts, we have made one so far but plan to do more. I also like the idea of painting on odd surfaces you can find, that is cool. When you put your photos in a blog hold your finger on the mouse pad and drag them up and wait until they move then you don't end up with a big white space. I can shift a couple for you then you have a go. Say hi to Katie and Keep in touch.

  3. Hi Tristan,

    Incredible blog post, Tristan. I hope you are going to tell us more about you in lock-down. Blog you later!

  5. Kia ora Tristan. great to read about all the creative ways you have been trying to beat your boredom! Your post reminded me of how much I used to love building forts with my kids when they were younger. Walking and getting some fresh air is a good way to keep busy too. Keep up the blogging, can't wait to read about what you are going to do next!

  6. Wow Tristan, it seems like you have spent time being really creative. When I was in the UK, I used to be in the Scouting movement as a leader, we used to spend time building shelters in the forrest - they were called bivouacs. It used to be so much fun building them - you've reminded me of this happy memory by sharing your experience of fort building, thank you!
    We don't have any board games in our house, so we have been playing lots of card games to stay entertained. I've also been trying to be creative, by practising on my musical instruments more than usual. Thanks for sharing your experiences, we'll look forward to hearing more from you soon. Don't forget to visit other people's blogs and see what other members of your Te Waka Ako team are getting up to at home!

  7. Hi Tristan, you have had a busy time during lockdown. It's pleasing to hear you have had plenty of time to be creative. It's interesting that you found different surfaces to paint on. Painting on bricks sounds like fun. What will you do with the painted bricks? Will they be displayed round home?
    I hope you will make the most of your online learning as the term starts. I look forward to hearing all about how you find distance learning.
    Stay safe and I will see you when we are back at school.

  8. Kia ora Tristan. Wow look at all the wonderful comments you've got! I love board games. They're great for when you're bored (get it?) I like Catan but one of my favourites is called Wingspan because it's about birds. Maybe you could make up your own board game? Keep up the awesome blogging!
