Refugee day!

-
              Hello everyone,

Yesterday the Batten team and I had a Refugee day at our school. The reason why we were doing all of this donating and having a Refugee day plus having rice for lunch, was all for South Sudan. In South Sudan they have conflict and they all run away to the refugee camps because their village was getting destroyed so they run and run until they get to the Refugee camp. So what the Batten team did was make a hut out of cardboard. Everyone had all day to make it.

My team and I went and started making something out the cardboard. We were too worried about how we were going to fit everyone in the hut and did not think about planning, so we failed many times but kept on going. It was morning tea and our hut was standing up before we left but then it fell over with the wind. After morning tea we came back with a plan to move our hut over to the fence and we had it in a sort of in a teepee shape. It turned out really well!

In my team was Maggie, Abi, Blake, Greta, Maddie and I ( Ruby ).

Also to add to that we had half a cup of rice we were allowed to bring lunch too; it is just about thinking of them and feeling what they eat because half a cup of rice is all they eat.

Here is a picture of my hut that my friends and I made! ( I am inside )
I felt very sad eating rice and knowing that was all they ate for the day. Their life is so hard, I am very lucky.

Thanks for reading

Ruby!

Hello everyone, As you know New Zealand is in Level 4 of lockdown.  So I have been staying safe at home.  I have been doing lots of walking and biking around the neighbourhood, and keeping up my fitness in any way possible! Painting My sister and I have also been painting. Painting has been very fun.  We have painted lots of boxes and making them into 'Letterboxes'.  Which has been very fun to try out. I painted a big yogurt box lids, and I also painted two boxes, one of the boxes was really thin and really long it was used to hold the lining in, and the other box used to hold bottles, it was the box I made into a letterbox. The decoration on the yogurt lids and the lining box was rainbow and on the other box, it was splashed with different colours! Decoration Easter has recently been too as you know.  So we decorated the house Easter themed. It was very fun to decorate the house! As a family, we decorated with old stuff that was in the attic, in the a...

  Hello everyone,  last week the Hillary Hub and I went to a school camp to Wainui. Wainui is close to Akaroa.  We started off with the bus ride over there. I had a front seat next to Greta ( my friend ).  When we got there we went and had a look at our bunk rooms. Bunk Rooms: I had a very good bunk room in my bunk room I had my friends Maddie, Meg M and Hazel. It was a nice quiet bunk room. We got to sleep well although we did have noisy neighbours running around and giggling on the first night, but we did have good sleep. Activities: The activities were fun the one I was most scared about was abseiling. The one I was most excited for was Kayaking. High Ropes: I enjoyed learning how to belay and to feed to rope out and in, we also learned how to coil the rope. My favourite was probably feeding the rope through. The climbing part was a bit scary although I did not get to do much climbing as we had to take turns in a 4, overall I love learning how to do it all. Kayaki...
