I cannot believe I forgot to take a photo of the children in Room 3 all dressed in red and black for our Christchurch Appeal Day!!
They looked amazing and were very generous with their gold coins.
Thank you everyone!!
Here's a photo taken at Friday mornings assembly that appeared in the NZHerald thanks to Mr Rankin.

Dear Sienna,
My school is okay and I love being back at school.
From Phoebe.
Dear Rohan,
My Mum had to come into school the other day to get my bag. It was lucky because I had some books at home to read. My reading folder was still at school.
From Joshua.
Dear Krishant,
I wasn’t scared in the earthquake, but I was wondering if it was the end of the world. Yesterday we had lunch with our buddy class outside. Part of the fence fell down right beside us…but I thought it was funny!
From Madeline.
Dear Jack,
Thank you for writing. I think it is really cool that you had a Red and Black Day for us.
From Daniel.
Dear Kevin,
I was only a little bit scared in the earthquake. I am very brave.
From Cody
Dear Aryaan,
I did not see the tv because I was playing with Sophie while the adults were watching tv.
From Christian.
Dear Joshua and Gina,
I cried when I saw the buildings fall down too. My house is ok, but my cousin Shannon’s house is broken. He is staying with my family.
From Amelia.
Dear Orlando
We did not get any mud in our house, like lots of other people did. Our power went out for a little bit. My family and I went to Timaru to stay, to get away from the earthquakes.
From Robert.
Dear Jacey,
My car is okay. I have seen some cracks in the road by my place, but we can still drive over them. You must feel lucky to live in Auckland.
From Sophie.
Dear Bradie and Ashira,
I wasn’t too scared, but just a tiny bit scared. I was at school and it was lunchtime. My nana had to come and get me. We went to her place.
From Alura.
