Learning during Lockdown
What some Year 10 Students think of Remote Learning -"Remote learning has had a different effect on all of us. I know for myself and a few others, it has been hard to distinguish the boundaries between school and home. When one area is a place of both home and rest, it can be difficult to separate personal and school lives. As well as having to deal with home distractions and increased computer times. As difficult as this time is for myself and others, I've found that there are always some brighter sides, such as an opportunity to spend more time with my family, having a flexible schedule and windows to take a break when work becomes a little too much. Staying in touch with family and friends, practical zooms that get you up and moving, and being able to learn at my own pace has made this time just a little more bearable, but I'll always be looking forward to going back to school".

"Remote learning has obviously been a challenge for all of us and it’s a very difficult thing for such a long period of time. I’ve managed to stay on top of my work in all of my subjects and haven’t had too many struggles completing anything set by my teachers. Along with all of this, I’ve tried to be outside more often and continue to exercise and play sports with my family. I am always talking to my friends to maintain my relationships and have some form of interaction with people other than my family".

"During the lockdown, I have found it rather hard to concentrate, it is the little things that get me distracted the most. But overall I have been able to cope with the work required pretty well. The feedback from my teachers has been excellent. My experience with zoom has been okay, although I am not the biggest fan. Overall I really do appreciate the catch-up days the college organizes for the students. It really helps me to just get myself organized, and get on top of any work, it also gives me time to look after myself".
