Still in lockdown Level 4 across the country day 12 currently 53 new cases today and a total of 562 active cases in the community. We had been doing so well as a country my husband and I even got a holiday to the beautiful Cook Islands. The delta strain is spreading at a very faster rate and is much easier to catch. Lucky we are fully vaccinated and Liam had his first one last week.
The cases are mainly in Auckland and a few in Wellington. We also had the panic of my son Liam had been in Auckland the weekend before the first case and had been to places of interest so he had a test but luckily came back negative. This caused a lot of anxiety and worry in our household. Also, my daughter was in Wellington on her last teaching practice for her bachelor of teaching degree which is now an online learning teacher practice.
The announcement today is allowing Northland to drop to level 3 on Friday if there are no new cases and the wastewater is clear. The problem with this lockdown is it is winter and raining so hard to get out for walks down the beach. So feeling very trapped in the house I have even had some anxiety.
We have not had as much call-up and help needed from the schools this time, which I should see as a positive they are able to carry on the fantastic teaching online. With the great visible learning on their sites, they can transfer across to learning from home easily.
I have missed the regular hangout meets we had last time which just gave us the connection and reassurance. Also being able to see faces, share feelings, and talk about what each facilitator was doing. I feel quite lost this time as I am on my own as a facilitator up here so have no team to call on and connect with.
So have spent the time to upskill myself and learn new resources and create ideas. I Completed some of the apple teacher training and read their informative books. Had fun with the green screen on iMovie. It was so easy and I can use it to create in the classrooms with the students.
