When one of our wonderful Year 8 students was researching Daffodil Day she saw that one in three kiwis are affected by cancer whether it is if someone in your family that has suffered from cancer or a friend has suffered from it. Those figures really affected her.
To celebrate this special day she decided to make a little video showing why people wear a daffodil and what it means to them to where one. For her, she wore it for family and for anybody that has had to go through that experience of having to fight against cancer.
In the making of this video Grace found that our younger children didn't really know what it meant to wear a daffodil. Because of that she now wants to make our children more aware of what it means to wear a daffodil and what cancer is and how people/families are affected.
"I feel that kids need to know how big of a problem it is and how they can help people to get better." stated Grace. "So if you would like to help out please donate to Daffodil Day so that we can help find cures and support those going through treatments."
This is the video that Grace made for Daffodil Day.
Hey Rimu!
ReplyDeleteIts really awesome that you guys are making the younger kids aware of what the daffodils are for. What made you want to look into daffodil day? Do you think that the video you made, made a difference? I remember not knowing what the daffodils were for for a really long time when I was little. I think that a video like this would have helped me understand and ask more questions when it came to daffodil day.
Great work!
