'I miss school and I miss my friends, but I'm enjoying cuddling my rabbits' - A letter from an eight-year-old reader

The best parts of lockdown are spending more time with my family and pets.

The worst parts of lockdown is that I can’t see my friends and cannot go out of the house apart from my daily exercise.

At home, I have been playing board games, playing with my sisters and cuddling my rabbits, Pancake and Waffle.

I have also been doing school at home and playing in my garden, where I have been gardening and letting the rabbits run about.

Things have been very different.

Instead of doing clubs and classes, we have been doing them virtually – and if I can’t do them at home, I have to remember everything I have learned for the next time I do it.

Lockdown has made me feel sad and happy at the same time.
