Hello Belfast School...this is your buddy class from Ruapotaka School in Auckland, we are working with you in Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu.
We spoke to our teacher Mr. Botha and thought maybe a letter a prayer or some flowers would be a positive thing to do. Some of us are going to talk to Mum and Dad to send you a comment. I hope you get food and a place to stay. We want you to know that we love you and hope you get to play at the park.
We hope our comments can be positive. We relay like your blog because you have cool information. We like your black panther called Ninja 9. We thought about you on Monday and we spoke about your situation. I wish there was no fighting. I think people should be friendly, kind and helpful.
We thought that we could help by giving you flowers, money a house and a safe life. We want you to know that we are thinking of you. You have a fantastic school and you are the best class that we have ever seen. We would like to paint a picture to remember you.
Please stay strong...Kia Kaha.
Kia Ora Room 7!!!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Mrs Kearns and I am the teacher from Room 9 at Belfast School. Thank you so so much for your blog post. I haven't had a chance to show the class your comment yet. I am away on Thursday until Tuesday. Ninja Nine, our class mascot, and I are off to New Zealand's highest mountain for a big walk and we won't be back to school until next week. I wonder if you can guess the name of the mountain?
Thank you so much for your kind and caring comments. It has been a very tricky week being in Christchurch. Last Friday we all had to stay safe in our classrooms until nearly 6.00 until the Police said it was safe for us to come out. Some of us felt quite worried and nervous and were really looking forward to our whanau coming to collect us. We did get to watch a movie and play with all the games in the class. We have been thinking about how we can be kind to each other this week. We haven't talked about the events too much in class as some of us feel worried. We know we can talk to families and the children can always talk to me.
I know Room 9 is going to be so excited about sharing some more posts with you. I love your school pool. We are a big school of 500 children. We will make a post to show you us swimming in our pool.
Thanks again for your kind and caring thoughts and we look forward to commenting on your blog next week,
Nga mihi nui,
Mrs Kearns
