Prince William Comes To New Zealand!

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Prince William had spent some time in Christchurch supporting families of the victims who died in mosque attack.

The second day of Prince Williams visit, Christchurch had met up with about 160 survivors and family members. He said that Christchurch and New Zealand's response to the shooting was an example to inspire the world.

My class and I had a talk about the mosque attack saying things like praying for the families and survivors who had been injured and had 2 minutes of silence.

It is important to love one another no matter what if you don't like someone because of their religion or their personality. We are all the same
SO THINK TWICE!

Kiwi Kids News- Make Matariki a holiday

Last week up and down the country people celebrated Matariki, the constellation rose on 25th June, beginning a month of celebration and recognition of the end of one year and the start of the next. It a chance to celebrate all that went on in the last year, to give thanks for food, family, friends and all that we have, and an opportunity to look ahead to all that next year will bring. But being so close to the Queen's birthday- for which New Zealanders get a day off- there are suggestions that there should be a public holiday to recognise such an important occasion, After all, the new year in January gets a public holiday.
