Yesterday the 4th of April we did a refugee camp day. We did this for the people in South Sudan and raised lots of money. The whole Batten team did it for the South Sudanese.
Every one carried boxes to the field and put them down. Millie, Amy, Mira and me got a curtain and a big cardboard box. It took us a long time. We made a little door in the side of the box. But it we had to go and learn about eels and go to reconciliation, that's another story, then it was morning tea. After morning tea we learn more about eels then went back to constructing. We put the roof on which was just a curtain. But the roof kept falling off it was very annoying. Then we tried to make a table but it didn't work so we gave some cardboard to our neighbours (Lola, Molly and Mia). Then we put some cardboard under our hut and made a footpath out of it.
It was time to get rice. We got our bowls and lined up and got our rice half a cup. There was seconds and I lined up to get more. Then someone in our group made a washing thing put grass in it and our cardigans and pretended to wash our clothes.
The Rutherford team came and looked. We let some of them come inside. There were these two girls who screamed when the roof came off. We balanced bowls on our heads and got water in them. IT felt like with everyone's places it was a village. Mr Grant at the end went into our hut and wrecked it coming out because he was too big. Then at the end everyone packed up and cleaned everything like we were never there.
It was super fun and I want to do it again I hope the South Sudanese are happy we did this. Also I hope we raised a heap of money for South Sudan.
