South Sudan

On Thursday two people called Phil and Janet came into our class to talk to us about South Sudan.  They taught us that Salam Akorn means hello. The other way around is the response you say back, Akorn Salam. 
We learned lots of facts about  South Sudan on this day:
  • Juba is a really hot place and has no electricity.
  • South Sudan also has 65 different languages.
  • Travelling on the roads is dangerous because people will steal your belongings.  
  • The boys have short curly hair. 
  • Lots of people carry guns because of war and to protect their animals. 
  • They mark scars on themselves to mark which tribe they come from.
  • There is only one doctor for every 10,000 people.
Here is a picture of money from South Sudan.

Global Play Day.

On Global Play day I was battling with my friends. I was Obi Wan-kenobi, Ben was Luke Skywalker, Cyrus was Kylo ren and David called himself David the warrior. (Weird name.)

AAHHH! said David the warrior as Luke skywalker cut him in half. It was down to Kylo ren. Kylo ren jumped at us, DUCK! I said. CRASH! As Kylo ren fell down unconscious. we had won! THE END

My life in a refugee camp

I wake up in the morning at 4:30 and get the bucket, I start working the forty minute walk to the water pipe to get the water.I get back at 5:00 to get to school, when I get to school I go inside and sit down at my desk. I'm really tired and hungry. I learn a lot, at the end of school its being a big day. I'm really looking forward to dinner as I am now starving. When I get home the girls have nearly finished dinner. Wile I am waiting I play soccer with my friends. When it's dinners finished I eat mine right up. It's bedtime the ground is hard and there's not mush room but I’am happy that I still get to sleep.

Yesterday my class played korfball . Korfball is kind of like netball. When you have the ball you can't walk. I was on the bib team, my game is last, when its my turn I run to the net and get ready to pass the ball. I pass to Adell, she passes to Molly and we keep working are way up to the net. I passed to Noah but Finn blocked it. Finn passed to Lolla, Lolla passed to Ilish, and the game went on. We lost in the end, but it was rely fun. I can't wait to play it again.
