The world's most dangerous walks to school



First we discussed how lucky we are to live in NZ and how we should be very grateful for this. Then for each photo the teacher read an article the accomponied the photo.  There were many comments made by the children including..

"This is sad"
"I never new that people that had school had to make such dangerous trips"
"I can't imagine what it is like"

Children then had to put themselves in someone else's shoes.  They had to do this by describing what the journey was like. 

They did this by describing...
- What did you see?
-What did you smell and taste?
-What were you thinking and feeling?
