All the Things I have Learnt in lockdown

Lockdown Diary

Life with Corona-Virus

Coronavirus has broken out through NZ and the world! It has become
a pandemic. My family and I have been ok, but life has been a little
tough. Us kids have been making it tough for our parents. I’ve been
getting up early to play on the XBOX and play Minecraft.

Cameron and I have been riding our motorbikes. Daniel has been
riding his motorbike sometimes. He had just got an 85kx. He is a bit
shy to ride it but he rides his 125. He has only ridden his motorbike
like 5 times(or 3 who knows?). 

My parents corona-virus story

It has not changed a lot, all that has changed is us kids are at home a
a lot, lot more. 

Mum says her days have changed a lot. On the one hand, her life is a
lot busier and on the other hand, it is a lot easier. She does not have to
run around to get us to sport and she does not have clothes shopping
for anyone either.

The Hole

Hi, my name is Matthew. I live with my brothers and my parents. My brothers' names are Cameron and Daniel. My parents' names are Rosslyn and Werner. My brothers and I love to go exploring in the woods.

One time while our parents were milking we were allowed to go exploring. One time we wandered off too far and got lost. It was getting dark and we were tired from all that walking. So we looked for a place to sleep.

We found a cave and stayed there for the night. In the morning it was frosty and cold so we decided to make a fire. I went and got some sticks and bark from the trees around us. I came back with some rocks too.

We lit the fire with rocks around it. I went to go and get some more sticks. Then suddenly I fell down a big and dark hole. I looked for a way up but there was no use so I walked around a bit. Then Daniel and Cameron fell down too. They said they were looking for me then they fell down too. We couldn't get out so we took a look down some other passages. Most of them were scary and some of them were not. We went to sleep inside one of the non-scary ones. 

My Nightmare

I had a nightmare. When we found our way out but when we got out everything was dead. When I mean everything I mean everything, including the plants! There were these giant monster dogs and real monsters. That’s the end of my nightmare. Now to Cameron’s nightmare. 

Cameron’s Nightmare

We found another passage leading somewhere. It led to a meadow of flowers, cakes and monsters. Wait, what! Monsters! When they saw us they started to growl and roar loudly and all the bees flew away and started to sting us to death. 

Daniel’s Dream

We found our way out of the cave and got home. Then we had a welcome home party and Daniel got most of the cake and we had a little bit of ice cream. In the morning Daniel was so grumpy he was in charge of the whole house and made us do all the work. He forced us to do all the housework.

The end Of Daniel’s Dream

In the morning we actually did get out of the cave and found our cowshed. Then we walked home and ate heaps of food. We ate half the food in the house. We had Oreos, ice cream, other food, and cake. We were so glad that we found our way home. We hugged our parents so hard that they said we were too strong.

So from that day onward, we swore that we would never go exploring in that forest again. We found another forest that was a little smaller and loved it even more than the other one. I’ll tell you about our ages. My age is 18, Daniel’s age is 20 and Cameron’s ages is 16. We wanted to stay the week in the forest and they said “yes” so we got all our supplies and gear.

Then we headed off to the middle of the forest and drank some water.(We brought no food so we hunted)Daniel went fishing, I climbed some trees to get some eggs and Cameron went hunting on the ground with his bow and arrows. We got enough food for the week but we were really hungry and ate most of it.

We lit a fire and set up camp. We were tired from all that walking and hunting so we went to bed early. I woke up first so I made breakfast and went on a small hunt. They woke up and ate breakfast and I came back with heaps of food.

It was a cold and frosty morning. We were all so cold and still very hungry. They wanted to but I knew we were going to stay the week and we have to stick to it. They still packed up their stuff and left me all alone in the forest. Then suddenly I fell down another hole and when I was going down I was like, come on another hole.

When I got to the bottom it looked exactly like the other one. Then I was like, am I in the same hole but it wasn't the same one. It was bigger than the other. If I was with my brothers what would I do. I thought to myself. I would walk around through the tunnels I did and find my way out. Packed up and went home.

I told my family that I found another big hole but this time it was bigger than the last one. I got a big cut down my upper arm and it got infected really, really fast. We went to the hospital and put a cast on it. I stayed a whole month until I was allowed home.

I had the cast on for four months. When they took the cast off the doctors said that I wasn’t allowed out in the bush for the entire year. One year later I was back in the bush with my family. We  came with only water, no food. My brothers and I were the hunters. While our parents were setting up camp and fire. We were catching the food, Cameron fell out of the tree.

We took him back to the camp while he was screaming him head off. Finally we got back to camp Mum and Dad first aid kit. Then me and Daniel put him down against the tree. We rushed him to the hospital and Mum stayed there with him.

We got back when it was dark and went straight to sleep. When we got up from sleeping Daniel and I went to get the food we caught and brought it back. We stayed a few nights longer, then we decided to pack up and go home.

The End
