Displaced people
Dear Colleagues, This year the ‘shanty town experience’ is being replaced with a ‘displaced people experience’. For this to be successful we need a large collection of materials for Grade 8 to use to build shelters. As this will be in March / April this year they will need to keep warm and dry. We are looking for cardboard boxes, tarpaulins, plastic sheeting, string, wood, bamboo poles and whatever else would be useful for shelter construction. We only want used items.
If you have anything please bring to our classrooms (D220), the Design Centre, or contact us and we will collect. We are the Grade 8 Humanities team (Ruth, Rebecca and Laurie) and the Grade 8 Design team (Francis, Robin and Nikolai). Many thanks.
Don’t complain…..
….about the air pollution if you won’t do anything about it! The more energy we save, the less coal that has to be burned to create our energy, the less air pollution we have to suffer. AT LEAST shut all doors and turn off lights. USE YOUR POWER!
