Climate Change March

               Climate Change March

 Hello bloggers. So on the 24th of May Friday the Year 5 and 6 students attended the Climate Change March at Aotea Square marching down Queen Street. We made signs in pairs to chant with at the march. I was with Abigail. On the day we were supposed to share one bag our of 2 or three people. We would carry snacks. Ama later joined our group and we used her bag. We took a bus to Aotea Square. We talked all the way there. Then once we reached we walked down to where the march started the whole way chanting " HEY HEY HO HO CLIMATE CHANGE HAS GOT TO GO". We reached our destination and while we were waiting for the march to start we sat down and ate a small snack. The three of us shared our snacks with each other. Some reporters were even interviewing some students from our school. 

The March began soon after we arrived. The three of us held hands with each other and the other hand was holding up our sign. We stuck together so we wouldn't lose each other. We were put into groups and us three were with one of the student's mom. We followed our group leader as best we could. We were chanting the whole time. Every big interjection we came across we had to lie down on the road for a couple of minutes. Then we would get up and start marching again. The teachers made all of us wear orange beanies. Even the teachers were wearing them. They made us wear them because in  case we get lost and lose the group we just have to find someone with an orange beanie. The three of us took tuns holding the bag and the sign. There was another chant that we did it was " NO MORE COAL NO MORE OIL KEEP THAT CARBON IN THE SOIL". At 2 o'clock the march ended and we walked to a beautiful park. It was called the MAHUHU KITE RANGI Park. The park had a beautiful pond/waterfall and there were stone benches, there was a big grassy area and many big stones for us to sit on. The park was just in front of Abigail's mom's office so she had been here before. She told us that sometimes ducks come there. We played there for a while and then our bus back to school arrived. We climbed aboard. We talked at the way back too. Once we reached school we got a little bit of play time. Then it was time for us to go home. 

It was truly important that we went on the march. It was a really great experience. When there is another march I really hope that you come. It will be great a great way of helping the planet. Climate Change is a really big issue. That's all for now. Blog You Later.

  1. It is really amazing to see all of you spread awareness in the community about such an important issue. Climate Change is really happening and it is impacting all of us. Everyone has to take a small step in improving the environment around us. Keep spreading these important messages and hope everyone around you realizes what they need to do to make the climate better.
