The Local Community: 

At the moment we are all restricted to staying within 2 kilometers of our houses. Lots of our favourite places are closed like the swimming pool, school and the shopping centre. 

  1. Write a short diary entry about a typical day in your house during this time.  
  2. Draw a map of all the places you can go within 2 kilometers of your house. Draw in where you can go for a walk. Draw the local shop and draw places that are outside the 2km which you plan to visit when things are back to normal again. You can use google maps to help you or 2kmfromhome.com 
  3. Discuss with your sisters or brothers or parents what you would like to do when things get back to normal. Where will be the first place you would like to go? Speak in your own home language when making plans. I look forward to hearing them!
