 Welcome again, Today Phil and Janet came to OLA school and they taught us about South Sudan!! First they told us "Peace be with you" in South Sudanese this is how you pronounce it.  The person who is greeting you says "As-Salam Alykum" and we say back "Alykum As-Salam." Next we learnt where South Sudan is.  Janet and Phil actually live in South Sudan, Juba which is the main city in South Sudan.  In South Sudan there is Sudanese Coins so they actually use pounds!  Phil had some with him today and if we had a good question we would get it! and guess what...  i got one!! here it is: That is 2 pounds and here is a $100 note and in New Zealand it is.. only 30c unbelievable! South Sudan have no electricity so they have very dark homes. now i am going to write down some notes that i took in the visit. South Sudan and Sudan were to countries until 2010 South Sudan gets to 40 degrees in the day! there is no serge in South Sudan  ...

Hi, Today we were learning about the Water Webinar! here is a list of things that i have learnt: First, were is the cleanest water? it is in West Auckland were the strategy was that they took out all the plastic which helped it ALOT!  then they put traps in the water so the plastic would not get back in, clever isn't it!  Second, there will always be ground water did you know that there will always be ground water? it is all under the grass and soil and it will always stay there?  Thirdly, the fossil water Did you know that there is water all the way down down there!  and if it gets taken it will soak it up and it won't refill! WEIRD!!! Now here is some pictures of when we were watching the video this morning!  We were watching the professionals live!!      Thank You once again for reading my blog!!!                                   ...
