Welcome ceremony Today was the Welcome Ceremony. We started off with standing outside and singing E Te Ariki and then we went inside. We sang I Light a Candle while representatives from each class brought up a gift. I was the representative for Room 4. After that we heard some bible readings and prayers. Shortly after the new families were given bibles. Then we sang I love the Lord your God and we left. That was how the ceremony went
The visit from Janet and Phil was awesome! We learnt about the money, the tribes, the food, and the features of life. The south Sudanese have no power, are really hot and their 100 dollar is worth 30 cents in NZ. Their hair grows REALLY curly and their hair and eyes are all the same colour. Their hobbies are ones like hunting, cooking and looking after cattle. The children are scarred to show what tribe they are in. It was really fun and watching videos of them dancing. I really hope they can come back again! Phil in middle Janet in far right
On Thursday we had a refugee day. It was really fun and we did it to understand how the south Sudanese live. We also had half a cup of rice to understand what their diet is like for a day. We also had to move in with another group but that's another story. This bit will tell you what we did. Me and Noah were building a house that looked like this it was pretty horrible just a mat and two boxes. But we eventually moved in with Ben, Cyrus, Dylan and Liam. We had rice for lunch and it was really nice to eat STEAMING HOT rice. We had lots of fun using our movement service, which was a subway box with string tied to it. It was really fun doing this I hope the people in south Sudan are getting more money. I hope we can do this again
