The schools in Sweden are all open, but Ingrid’s and Adrian’s Estonian lessons are taking place online – I’m guessing because the teacher would otherwise be travelling back and forth between schools across town, and that’s not good from the point of view of infection control.

Ingrid has “proper” lessons and tests and things. Adrian’s lessons are more like extended homework, but online.

Quite often one of the tasks is writing. Write x sentences about an animal, write x sentences using words from the previous exercise.

Normally he would write them in his exercise book. Now that the lessons are happening online, he writes them in Word on my computer.

He insisted that the document needed at least one emoji. Preferably lots, and weird ones – somehow homework in Word doesn’t feel like real homework and he doesn’t take it as seriously as his normal schoolwork. We agreed on one “teacher” emoji in the end.
