fieldtrip

Today we had a fieldtrip to the Jewish Community Centre beside Oakridge and we learnt all about the Holocaust. We watched a short film called "Pigeon" and it talked about a Jew who was getting on a train with a fake passport. It was a pretty neat film and it had a very meaningful ending. After watching the film, we had an actual Holocaust survivor tell us his story and what he's been through. He's had a hard and sad life. He also had these childhood pictures which were taken before the Holocaust happened. There was a picture of his dad and him riding bikes and a picture of him and his mom together and it was beautiful. It was pretty emotional too because his dad was one of the victims who were taken away and killed and he talked about the last time he saw his dad in his life. His words were pretty strong.

ANYWAYSSS. Turns out the teachers are actually going on strike so I think we're gonna have a 5 day weekend. Tomorrow's Student Walkout Day and some people are going to the Art Gallery to protest so some people might not even be at school. Wonder how the strike's gonna turn out.
