Giving a Helping Hand

This morning Miss Hines witnessed something awesome! Levi was speaking to Nikalai about his maths and said that he was having trouble with his multiplication. Nikalai became 'the expert' and willingly in his own time, began showing Levi the way he works out his multiplication! Thank you for being a kind and caring class member Nikalai. You have certainly stepped up and I am sure Levi appreciates the help you have given him! 

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas

Welcome back to Term 3! For the first part of the term, we are studying The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. 

This novel highlights the terrible incidents that happened in the concentration camp in World War 2.

Miss Hines wants us to be completely immersed in this topic, so today we came up with some rules that we thought might happen if we had German children and Jewish children at our school. What we didn't know is that Miss Hines was going to make us draw out of a hat whether we were going to become a Jewish child or a German child. We now have to wear either a German Flag or The Star of David on our shirts so we are easily identified. Instantly we thought that this wasn't fair, but we soon realised that being a Jewish person in World War 2 wouldn't have been fair either. We can't wait to learn more about this!
