Coast to Coast Total Solar Eclipse

Today we live streamed an amazing event! A coast to coast total solar eclipse. This was the first time in 99 years that one had occurred!! We listened to NASA experts on our TV who explained what was happening. Check out the video below, it shows you what we saw live.

Is this FAIR???

Today we had a discussion about how much people get paid for the things that we buy in New Zealand. We agreed that a soccer ball cost around $20.00 at a sports shop. We soon realised where the soccer balls were made and how much money the people who made them got paid. This was a HUGE shock to us.

The video above explains how a company called Fair Trade help the workers to get more money and better education, health and opportunities in their villages.
