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.

Cameron Pools

Swimming 

Hello bloggers! Recently we have been going to Cameron Pools. On Tuesdays and Thursdays,  after lunch we get our togs and get on the bus. My swimming teacher is Brogan. In swimming lessons you  practise floating,  freestyle,  streamline and other swimming techniques. This week we have been doing some survival skills in the water like sculling and egg beating.  I do my swimming in the big pool. We wore life-jackets and we made chains and huddles. You get into the huddle if there are lots of people and you want to stay warm, and you do the chain when you want to move in a big group. We also played games for example, a game where there is one tagger. That tagger has to tag people, when you are tagged you lik arms with the tagger. you keep playing untill there is only one person left. We all had so much fun at Cameron Pools!

Here are some photos of swimming lessons:
