March 2020

got no school

My cousin Anat is very fun, and when I saw this video (below) I realized she is also really brave. Anat is the director of the School of Peace which is a school for refugee kids in Greece. Earlier this month the school was burned down. Today is technically the last day of my school’s spring break and at the moment I’ve got no school to go back to because of the coronavirus. But the kids at the School of Peace have really got no school. This is really sad for my cousin who worked so hard to build the school and for all the kids at the school who really enjoyed going there.

My cousin is in this news story about the school fire.

Here is a pic of the school before the fire.

Here is a pic of the school after the fire.

March 2020 My Movies

my Lego movie

Today I learned how to make a little movie. My dad showed me how. It was harder than I thought but it was also kinda fun. This is a movie where I’m building a Lego castle, and just to warn you (spoiler alert!) the music is very dramatic.

Here is my five step drawing for this week.

Step two: draw a long oval to make the crust.

Step three: draw circles in the pizza to make pepperoni.

Observations

Lego castle

Today I’m going to show you my Lego castle. It took me a while to build it because my parents kept knocking it over. Maybe because I was building it in the middle of the living room.

I got inspired to make something like this because I saw a really cool building when I was walking in downtown Vancouver. This building is called Vancouver House.

Here are some good youtube videos that I think you’ll like watching.

My Nana sent me this video and I really like it because it explains the coronavirus situation really well.

My Dad showed me this video and I think it’s really good because it explains how people don’t know what they don’t know.

pictures of playgrounds that are closed

The first week of spring break was very different than normal. Here is what happened in Vancouver, Canada. On Thursday, March 12, the Prime Minister’s wife, Sophie Trudeau tested positive for COVID-19 after coming back from England and went into isolation. March 13th was the last day of my school before spring break and UBC and other universities announced classes would be online starting Monday. March 14 Canada recommended against international travel. March 16 movie theaters, art galleries, libraries and community centers closed. March 17 the BC education minister announced K-12 in-person classes would be suspended for an unknown amount of time. It was St. Patrick’s day and all bars and restaurants where told to close. March 20 Starbucks closed and the city closed all playgrounds. Speaking of play grounds here are some pictures of play grounds that are now closed.

countries with more than 50 cases of coronavirus

I saw these charts in the New York Times the other day. I don’t really read the New York Times, but my parents do. These are all the countries with more than 50 cases as of March 19, 2020.

I think everything looks bad except for Mainland China, and all over the news they say what’s bad but I think they should tell us more things that we can do about it. Like, only going out if its really necessary or helping old people if they need help.
