We sang the National Anthem and we also sang our school song, Aotearoa. The assembly was in the morning, and when we planted the Kowhai tree, sixteen people of the sixteen cultures at our school(Chinese, Maori, Tongan, Samoan, Tokelauan and eleven more). After we planted the tree, one person from every class put a card around the base of the tree.

Last week we had a lockdown drill that was supposed to teach us what to do if something like the Christchurch tragedy ever happens to us.
