Stephanie Yr 6 - The best thing about remote learning was being with my family! I enjoyed being able to have a break when I wanted if I needed it. We did not have to wait for the bell. The worst thing about remote learning was that I missed the group environment and my friends. I was also very worried my brother would jump in front of the camera when I was in my video call.

Aaliyah Yr 4 – I loved that we could see our family more especially when I was sad. It was easier to ask questions, as I did not have to wait in line for the teacher. I also really enjoyed the food at home. The down side was I missed my friends and my teacher. Also mum got carried away talking sometimes and helped me too much!

Marolena Yr 4 – I really enjoyed longer rests and I enjoyed waking up later and getting out of bed later. I loved being in my pyjamas doing my work. It was also great to raid the fridge and eat while I was learning! The worst thing I found was that sometimes I did not understand the work and my parents didn't either! There was also not much to do in my house. I missed my friends.

Alex Yr 2 – Well, I had to come to school all the time because mum and dad had to go to work!

Toby Yr 7 - Remote learning was good because I took the easy option and played around the farm instead of doing my work. Mum told me to do my work but the great outdoors kept calling me. I was sort of lonely but kept in contact with my mates with gaming. Staying home I missed my friends. I wish everything could stay like this – I enjoy only having a few kids around me and a few teachers.  It takes a bit of pressure off me.  In the words of Toby ... See ya lat’r!

Aiden Yr 10 - It was good having home learning as you are not as rushed and as pressured. It was great not having the teachers looking over your shoulder all day! I actually didn’t like being at home though, because I found it very hard to keep on task. Phones and technology become a distraction fairly easy. It was also hard not having peers around for help, I missed cooperative learning. Like Toby, I have enjoyed the smaller number of kids at school. I have made a lot of new mates because my usual friends haven’t been around.
