Thank you to Ms Stone and Room 4 of Point England School for this lovely gift. It has meant so much to our children and it has helped them to realise that others are thinking of them and that we are all united in the aftermath of the events in Christchurch last Friday.
We in Rimu have spent time this week talking not only about what happened on Friday but about how others have responded to the tragedy. We discussed words like unity, bonds, aroha, kindness, community, support and caring for others. Our children have come up with ways that they can show these things and are now going to take the time to create their ideas. The main message that they children want all to remember is one of kindness to all. Look after each other.

Kia ora Rimu class,
ReplyDeleteThis was such a beautiful post to read. Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu is really powerful at connecting students across New Zealand and I can tell that you have created a great relationship with your blogging buddies at Point England. It is so nice to know that you are all caring for each other and thinking really hard about kindness. We can all work together to make New Zealand a better place where everyone feels respected, loved and most importantly safe. I am certain that it starts with kindness and always being kind to everyone. Thanks for sharing the photo of your peace lily.
Ngā mihi

ReplyDeleteWe are really glad that you enjoyed the peace lily that we sent you. We are thinking about you and we hope that it reminds you of us. Did you know that the peace lily will absorb some air pollution?
