Moments in time

I heard the tyre creeking as the currant pulled us across .

I saw the hills be pulled towards us as me and my siblings had excitement on our faces.

I felt anxious, frustrated and stressed.

I wondered if we would be doing this forever Or is this my life sitting in a tube.

Campylobacter

Campylobacter

-Wk 3 Friday unwell
-Wk4 Monday 360 people absent
-Closed Tuesday to Friday

On Monday lots of kids felt unwell because the water was unsafe and had bad things in it. On Monday there was an email saying for the kids not to drink out of the fountain but nobody knew about it. Everyone  was frightened about it but schools were giving the kids bottled water .Most of the kids had to go to the sick bay.

On week 4 nearly half the school was away with kids going home during the school day too. Teachers were sick to and that's when we found out that the water was positive for E-Coli which is moss and animals business. Havelock North High school, Lucknow, Havelock North Intermediate, Havelock North primary, Woodford and Iona and Te Mata School all have unsafe tanks and were handed out bottled water.

The next day there was a email sent out saying there was no school for the next two days since the water still wasn't right. My sister also had no school. On the email it said they would take another test and get back to us. The next day they said it still wasn't right so we got two more days off.

In those free days I went up to the farm and helped my mum. We had to move the lambs on foot which was a bit difficult and then we had to feed the fottobeet to the Bulls. That was really all we did.
