Oskar Graham-Smith connects up with his class from Rawhiti School in Christchurch this morning for learning at home during the Covid-19 lockdown. One reported that a child had not bothered getting out of bed for school, while another was so busy with their school work they had not found time to change out of their pyjamas. Christchurch 10-year-old Zoe Rhodes said she was pleased to see some of her classmates during a videoconference with her teacher. Zoe's mother, Gabrielle Still, said the prospect of supervising online schooling for three children was "a bit overwhelming" but it had gone well. She said teachers worked online with some students yesterday and over the phone with most.
