Hi,  How are you? I hope you are well. I am writing from Edinburgh in Scotland. I wasn’t to share how I spent my days during ‘Lockdown 2020.’ During Lockdown I could not go to school. I missed playing with my friends at school. But I was happy that I could spend more time with my family.

A letter from Edinburgh

The National Museum of Australia’s curatorial team received a letter from Nikhita, a 6 year-old living in Edinburgh, Scotland. She told us about how she has been spending her time while school has been closed: zoom ballet lessons, online music classes and family time in the park. Thank you Nikhita for sharing your story with us!
