The last few months of lockdown have been tough for most of us. We haven’t been able to see our friends, go about our lives in the way we would like to and have fun.
You may have quite liked some bits of the lockdown. It hasn’t been a bad experience for everyone. Maybe you liked staying at home. Maybe you were having a tough time at school. But it’s fair to say that it hasn’t been easy for everyone.
Some of you will have worked hard for exams and be disappointed that you didn’t get the chance to sit them (or you might be pleased that you didn’t have to). If you’re leaving or moving to a new school, you might not be able
to say goodbye to your old school, your teachers or your friends. You might have missed out on school trips and activities at the end of term. Your family may be getting on your nerves, too. It happens.
