the cristchurch tragedy

The Christchurch tragedy    

On Friday the 15th of March, a tragedy occurred in Christchurch. There was one man who decided to shoot Muslim people while they were praying in their mosques. The man shot people at two different mosques. 50 people died and more than 20 were injured. This caused a lot of work, the ambulance had to arrive, the doctors had to struggle to cure the injured and the police had to arrive at the crime scene. Schools, workplaces and offices had to go into lockdown for 5 hours! Everyone was suffering. The shooting caused a lot of sadness and shock to people all over New Zealand. Other people from different countries donated money and the Prime Minister is making new gun laws. There is also a site called givealittle, where you can donate money. In school, we have been doing heaps of things because of the Christchurch incident. We have had a special assembly, we made cards, did specific reading activities had a 1 minute and 2 minute silence. We even did a practise lockdown because we need to know what do do when there is a lockdown. 
Here are some photos of the memorial assembly.
