Term 1 Week 8: A Sad Day for New Zealand

It's been a sad week.

We heard about the shootings in Christchurch on the news and from our mums and dads. We talked about what we knew. Some of us asked questions. We all felt sad! We noticed that the New Zealand and Silver Fern flags were flying at half-mast on the school flag pole. We wondered about this. We learned that it was a mark of mourning and respect for the people who had died in the mosque shootings in Christchurch.
