South Sudan

-
On Thursday 21 of March 2 people called Janet and Phil came to see the batten team. They told us all about south Sudan because the batten team is learning all about south Sudan for lent. First they old us about water, they get there drinking water from the Nile river which runs straight through Sudan and South Sudan. They have to filter it because it is a little bit dirty. Then they started to tell us about money. $100 in south Sudan is 30¢ in NZ. Then they told us about their job. Janet converts Bibles into different languages and in her spare time she watches doctor who on her laptop. Phil MAF which means Mission Aviation Fellowship.
I hope you learned a bit about south Sudan.

Thanks,
Stanly

Science in a van

  On the 20th of February we had science in a van come to school. Finally it was our turn to go see science in a van. The two people there were Emma and Allin When we got there Emma was telling us about forces and mass. They then got Mr Grant and Amelia Cody to come up. Mr grant was big horse and Amelia was small horse. They had to carry a big bag of dog food. Amelia could lift it pretty high but, Mr grant could lift it higher. After that we got to launch and chicken called Steve up a string on a l&P bottle. What we did was connected the bottle to a bike pump and pumped up and down and then it flew off, didn't go far enough so we connected a bigger bottle. When it flew off everybody was saying go steve go steve he just made it.  Thanks  Stanly😃

Life in a refugee camp

I live in a refugee camp in Juba, my best friend is Liam. Every morning I walk to school with Liam every day. School is very fun, my favorite sport is volleyball. Me and Liam are a great team but, sadly Liam got hit in the head with the ball. My house is 2m by 2m, very small ah. The long drop (toilet) is 5 minutes away. I am very hot and hard to get to sleep. My mum's very tired of not getting to sleep. My biggest wish is to have heaps of rain, lots of food, clothes, water, and sleep. When I say sleep I really mean sleep, especially for mum. Thanks, Stan😎😜
