Self Isolation
Francesca Webb, 10
Sitting at my desk
Wishing it could be next year
Missing summer fun
On google classroom
My days are long and boring
What is happening?
Hospitals full up
Doctors working very hard
No more face masks left
Nothing in the shops
I hope old people are fine
Our street is quiet
Sitting in my room
I’m safe but I am worried
We have to stay strong
Lottery
Natya Chandrasekar, 12
One day my mom was so happy, as if she had won a lottery and she was jumping with joy and dancing. When I asked her what made her so happy , she said she had found toilet paper online, and they are being shipped to our house.
A Life Change
Vaishali Andukuri, 10
I had a normal life. A slow life, sure...But it was good. I was just a regular 12 year-old who had a standard schedule. I woke up, went to school, came home, played a bit, helped cook dinner, ate it, went to bed and my day was done. Until one day when my life changed. I was going to school, and on the way, I stopped by a small corner shop, to buy water.
Recently Stone Soup blogger and book reviewer Madeline Sornson had the opportunity to read The History Keepers by Damian Dibben, and ask the author some questions about the book, research, and his writing process. Read their conversation below.
MS: How did you come up with the idea for The History Keepers?
DD: Growing up, I loved two things.
Something Smells Fishy
Daniella Horna-Baxter, 13
I was tired of being stuck inside with only my parents. I was itching for sunlight, and barely any clouds littered the sky. So, I decided to go to the backyard to do my e-learning.
I was doing my math when I noticed how pretty the pond water was as it reflected the clear blue sky. I decided it was time for a break.
You can’t love a piece of art and not look at it just one time. It is impossible and it shows you really have no care for the art. "Garden at Giverny" by Claude Monet (shown above) is a beautiful painting of a garden but if you look at its beautiful garden a few times then you see much more than what you saw the first time.
The Reason for our Smiles, the Amazing NHS
Cali Davis, 9
To all our heroes helping out during this illness,
Your bravery and selflessness deserves our respect,
For all you have done and all you will do,
We have been brought together and that's thanks to you.
The Quarantine Generation: the World on Reboot–From the Lens of a Teenager
By Mehr Grewal, 13
I turned 13 on March 28th. My milestone birthday was spent in quarantine. A mightier contender took the spotlight away from me. COVID-19 decided to flex its muscles and turn the world around—a 13th birthday is no match.
