Neighbourhood Support - Tuesday 6 March

Andrea Talks To Room 5 - What We Can Do To Help in Our Neighbourhood.

Here are some of the things we learned we can do.

Gracyn :  “Get to know your neighbours.”    

Amelia- “Pick up rubbish along your street.”

Faith- “Look after your animals.”

Rosie- “Bring in elderly person's rubbish bins.”

Solomon- “Bring in newspaper of elderly neighbours.”

Carina- “Get help for someone who is injured.”

Grace- “Take something for your sick neighbours.”

Indi- “If someone is doing graffiti tell an adult.”

Nadine  -  “Become a girl guide or scout.”

Freya-  “Continue to keep the school grounds tidy.”

We are going to try hard to follow Andrea’s ideas and be really good neighbours.
