Our class has been following the Pike River Coalmine disaster, and on Thursday we heard on the news that there is little hope that the miners will be rescued alive.
We had a special assembly and lit candles and watched a special clip on the data projector about the miners, the coalmine, the rescuers and miners families. Our school raised $150.00 to send to the Mayor of Greymouth to help the miners families. Children from the classroom spoke about the disaster and Rowan and Luke read the letter they wrote to Mr John Key, the Prime Minister of NZ.
Everyone in the school lit a candle. The school hall looked lovely with all the lights along the stage.
