My Face Mask

I made a face mask out of a paper towel that was fun!

On Monday the 25th of May, 2020 I made a Paper Towel mask. A mask is something people wear to protect themselves from diseases like COVID - 19. Mrs. Kumar, our teacher, showed us how to make one and we made one ourselves.

You can make a paper mask if you have these things: a stapler, 2 rubber bands, and a paper towel. To make it you need to fold the paper towel like a fan then once you have finished that then you fold the ends of the paper towel over a little then you put one of the rubber bands under the fold and staple it closed. Do that to the other side and open up your mask.

I wore it and it was way too tight because the paper towel and the rubber bands were too small. I was amazed at how I had made a face mask out of just a piece of paper towel. It was amazing!

I took a picture of me wearing the mask. Before we made the mask I was wondering how we would make just a small paper towel into a mask and when we made it felt so obvious. I felt proud and happy about making my own face mask.

Life in lock down

The lockdown was so scary!

Lockdown is a state of isolation or restricted access instituted as a security measure. New Zealand was put under level 4 lockdown on the 26th of March 2020. New Zealand went into lockdown because of COVID-19. Another name for COVID-19 is coronavirus.COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus. 'CO' stands for corona, 'VI' for virus, and 'D' for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as '2019 novel coronavirus' or '2019-nCoV. The government  came up with four levels. Level 4 was the most strict and 1 is the least strict. About 2,800,000,000 people are infected with covid-19 in the world.

In level 4 only essential workers like factory workers, aged care workers, doctors, police officers, firefighters, St Johns  and  the rescue workers  and nurses were allowed to continue work,  but only if they follow a strict set of rules set by the government If they don’t follow the rules they were not allowed to work. These people were allowed to work because they were needed to keep the community safe.

The people that aren't allowed to work are called non essential workers. Some examples of non essential workers are teachers, takeaway workers, dental people, construction workers, shop owners and so on. These people weren’t urgently needed, not like the essential workers.  The reason that unessential workers are not working is so that people don’t get too close to each other and pass on the virus to others. We didn’t want people to get sick.

At home in level 4 lockdown it was hard but also fun. The fun bit was I got to be with my family and do quality family things like going on bike rides and playing games. The games we like to play are chocolate ludo, Ono and monopoly. I also liked ironing and getting out the sewing machine. I learnt how to sew and made little sleeping bags for my toy animals. I slept in a tent in the backyard too. It was very dark and cold in the tent and sometimes I found it scary. But overall I found it more fun
