Children's Experiences during COVID-19 Restrictions and Lockdowns: Engagement
Ms Olga Buckina:
For me, one thing that helped was cycling. I was lucky to have an indoor training thing I could put my bike on and we did online races together. It was great because I could talk to my friends online and tell them about the race and then I could focus on the race itself and do my best in it and then we could all talk about it afterwards. Being lucky enough to have a phone was also a good thing during lockdown because I could talk to all my friends no matter where they were. I spent quite a lot of time on FaceTime with my friends so that was a good thing.
