And in your classrooms too. 2_________: And the windows must be opened and it was really cold in January, because there was a big snowfall and people came to school with small blankets to cover their legs and gloves to protect their hands . 3_________: And we are not allow to borrow our school staff to other pupils. But we enjoy a lot at school because it is where we can meet our friends. So we arrive 5 or 10 minutes before classroom in the morning to meet our friends on the street. 1_________: But when a pupil is infected or have to be in lockdown he attends the lessons online from home.
