Feedback from the soldiers!

Do you remember the time we made a care package and sent it to a soldier, and we were learning about pay it forward? Well surprisingly we got a letter from one of the commanding officers!

When our teacher told all of us we were all shocked we couldn't believe it.The class felt joyful that we made someone else happy. It is also great to hear that they feel less homesick.We knew that they needed a little cheering up especially if they are a long way from home.  I'm sure that their families also miss them.

Have you ever thought about doing something for someone else? Try it and you will feel proud that you did it because we did!

Care packages for NZ soldiers

In the last week of term 2, Room 8 decided to 'Pay it Forward' and take part in a project that delivers care packages to NZ soldiers who are deployed to countries all over the world.

From our learning about the ANZACS, we know how much care packages from home mean to service men and women who are far from home.

We hope the goodies we chose will make their way across the world and let the recipient know we are thinking of them and appreciate them!
