Holiday Blog
A social activity I did was watch movies with my cousins.
Something physical I did was I went on an adventure with my family to Darfield to get ice cream. For intellectual I read a murder article. Something I liked was when we went to the mall and had Boba. During the holidays I was happy and I had a lot of fun hanging out with my cousins.

Lock down scavenger hunt
Lockdown 2021
Government confirmed the Covid-19 variant infecting people in the North Shore was closely matched to Covid found in a recent returnee from Sydney in managed isolation.
“Now we can be fairly certain how and when the virus came into the country,” Ardern said. ↓↓
That person arrived on August 7 – meaning it was unlikely the disease had been spreading for weeks, as was earlier feared.
Five community vaccination centres in Auckland are closed today because staff have been diverted to help at Covid-19 testing centres.
Manurewa, Ōtara, Westgate, and Tamaki are open for vaccination.
The closed centres are Birkenhead, Highbrook, Pukekohe and Takanini. Almost all general practices remain open.
“Based on timelines, there are minimal missing links between this returnee and the cases in our current outbreak, and the period in which cases were in the community is relatively short.”
Yet the high number of locations visited by the community cases, and the infectiousness of the Delta strain, mean New Zealand is not out of the woods.
To Do!
Highlight (in yellow), the suffixes in all the underlined words above.
One of the underlined words also has a prefix. Which word is that?
Remembering that a compound word is made up of 2 (sometimes more) base words (e.g. grandfather; into) find 5 compound words in the text about Covid above.
i) Highbrook ii)Birkenhead iii)Timeline
iv) Outbreak v)Westgate
5. Highlight (in blue) capital/uppercase letters that begin proper nouns in the text (e.g. Auckland). Do not highlight capital/uppercase letters that begin sentences/statements/questions.
6. Highlight (in red) a quote from the Prime Minister (clue: you will spot speech/quotation marks).
7. Based on the reporting about Covid, find your own words and write 5 sentences about how this lockdown has been for you.
My lockdown was very boring because all I would do is just lie down and play Call Of Duty. Our zoom calls were different because we were usually so close but I felt sad because I wasn’t with my friends at school. But I kind of liked lockdown because I got to spend time with my family and home and get closer to each other
