The Tragedy in Christchurch
I think we all know what happened at Christchurch but if you don't then you should know. There has been a shooting in Christchurch. On Friday 15th March 50 innocent people were killed. The man who killed these innocent people, his dad had just died and he was angry so he even though he liked Muslim people he didn't want them in New Zealand so he wanted to kill them. There were about a 100 people praying in the two mosques and he killed 50 of them. When we heard about this tragedy we were totally devastated. So we decided to do something nice for them. We had our 1 and 2 minute silence in the honour of those who died. We planted a Kowhai tree. We even made some cards for hospitals, the schools, the work places ect. We have also been doing activities about the shooting in our Reading. We had to set a goal for ourselves, something that we can do as an independent and something that we can do together about racism. On the slideshow that we wrote our goals on there was also a link for the givealittle page where we could see all the people who have donated money to the families who have lost someone in the shooting. Here is a link to the givealittle page and please if you can donate some money too it would be so kind of you.https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/christchurch-shooting-victims-fund/donations
If it's someone who has lost someone in the shooting and you are reading this then I want you to know that we are with you 100%.
Here are some of the photos:
So if you see someone being mean remind them that we all stand as one.
This was a very sad incident and should not have taken place. Whatever the circumstances, there is no excuse for such a cruel act. It is so nice to see all the New Zealand citizens coming together in support of the people who lost their lives and supporting their families and trying to embrace all the communities irrespective of their caste, religion or country. Your school is doing a very good deed in showing that they stand for a united New Zealand.
