The TradeAid Visit

On Wednesday, Sam, a lady from TradeAid came to visit us and talk about Aroha. She talked about how people had to make sacrifices to live. She said that TradeAid trades things that they make in their poor village with alpaca fur. Sam brought in some stuff that they made like a handmade book and some handmade musical instruments. It is amazing that these people live in those conditions yet they have amazing talents and lucky for them they get paid for it. TradeAid gets the thing they create and when someone buys it they give the money to the person they originally got it from. At the end Sam let us play a game called 'chocolate' so some people were us and some people were the poor people. The poor people got about six pieces of chocolate and we got about twelve pieces of chocolate. So now we know how the poor people feel and how that is unfair.

Trade Aid visit

Today we were so lucky as we had a visit from Sam who was from Trade Aid. She brought in some things from the Trade Aid shop. We had a play with the items, and found out where they were from. We did lots of level 5 thinking, having to empathise and put ourselves in the 'shoes' of another - thinking about what life can be like for those that do not have some of the things we take for granted in New Zealand. Lastly we did a great activity about 'fairness' and how that feels when you are e one that does not have the resources a.k.a. the chocolate!
Lots for us to think about now - where to next?

The Wind

The wind is a continuous howl rolling around,
In the breezy night.
It is one thousand men,
Stomping their elephant feet.
The wind is rugby players,
Side stepping their opponents.
The wind whips leaves,
around like a piece in a game.
The wind makes trees nervous,
Shaking leaves.
It's the clouds blowing,
A vicious icy cold breath.
It is a bull showing everything,
Out of its path.

By Josh R

Good luck to the Lit Quiz teams competiting tomorrow night!

Food

I gazed up at an enchanting sight, drooling at the delicious look of it.  Orange jelly, sprinkles, chocolate, pudding.  Then I looked down, the drooling stopped, my mouth snapped shut, Shepherd's Pie, YUCK!  My gaze wandered and again it was captured by the beauty of dessert, I couldn't stand it, I hate Shepherd's Pie, my forehead creased, there was great battle going on inside my head.  I would like that little bowl of heaven but I would have to eat Shepherd's Pie.  I shuddered at the thought.  There was a grueling task ahead of me.  I would need heaps of water.  I raised a horrible monster to my mouth called the "spoon".  I took a little of the Shepherd's Pie.  I licked my lips, delish!  In a couple of minutes my plate of Sheperd's Pie was demolished.  I groaned then patting my tummy I moaned to Grace I'm too full for pudding!"
