Christchurch Special Assembly

Hi everyone. I am back!
On Monday the 18th of March, our school had a special assembly to remember the ones who died the Friday before. Over 50 people got killed in Christchurch at both Masjid Al Noor and Linwood Masjid Mosque. All of the school made cards for the people in Christchurch.

My class made cards for: 

Christchurch Police Force

Christchurch Hospital

Christchurch Ambulance Association

Majid Al Noor Mosque

Linwood Masjid Mosque

Local Schools

In the school hall, we sang The National Anthem. Then we went outside. We then sang one of our very important school songs called Aotearoa. The principal called up everyone with a different culture and those people got to get a shovel and put some dirt in a hole around the new kowhai tree that we planted. It sat next to our Friendship Bench to remind us that we are one. And then some people got to put the cards around the tree. We stood in silence holding hands for 1 whole minute.

Here are some photos from the day:

                                                                                             

Later on in the week, we had to decide on a goal to stop racism. Here is mine:
