Canterbury Earthquake
The Canterbury Earthquake happened on the 4th September, Room 8 talked about how we can help the people in Christchurch. We watched a video clip on Kaiapoi and learnt that the town was badly affected by the Earthquake. So Room 8 decided to email Kaiapoi North School to see if there is anything we can do to help them. We felt that it is very important for us to talk to some of them to make sure they are safe. Mr. Miles, the Principal from Kaiapoi North School emailed us back and thanked us for thinking of them. A Year 2 class from KNS will be in touch with us soon.
Also, we are very worried about our former classmate Benjamin who moved to Christchurch last term. So we used our 'inquiry' skill to decide on our actions. Mrs. Wagg helped us and she found out which school Benjamin is at - St Albans School. We emailed the school today and hopefully we will be able to speak to Benjamin soon!!

Room 8, you are really looking after others. Let me know what you find out about Ben. We have a few Upper Harbour families who have moved to Christchurch over the years. Good thoughts go out to them and their nieghbours.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know that you learnt about the earthquake.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see how caring and thoughtful you are in Room 8. All our thoughts are with everyone in Christchurch at this difficult time. Lets hope UHPS can put a smile on some children's faces with your kindness.
