Working Together

This whole week Room 11 worked on solving problems on ixl.com. We got to choose our own group too. But before we choose we had to do a subtraction speed test and put in our google drive. Then that's when we can choose. It was fun working out problems with our friends. When we got it wrong we kept quiet, but when we got it right we let it out and said We got it right!!

Helping The Poor

Yesterday my mum and I went to Otahuhu to buy things for my aunt as she was leaving  to Tonga because my nana died last week. I wanted to go but I had to stay for school.

So…. While we were walking I saw people walking past a poor man that was asking them for money. I was across the road but I had a great view of him.
He reminded me of life in Tonga. He reminded me of starving children in the street.

 

I put my hand into my pocket and felt a note. I saw it was 10 dollars. I gave it to him and he said thank you in Tongan because he heard my aunt speak in Tongan. My aunt said it was alright in Tongan.

I knew it was the right thing to do.
