Room 21@EPS

On Thursday 20th March at 11:00 Room 21 and Room 19 got changed into their old clothes, grabbed our bottles of water and lined up outside the class. Miss Adamson then told us to walk down to the Reserve.

Next the lady from Keeping Manukau Beautiful told us lots of information about graffiti. We learned that graffiti is very bad and that the Tax Payers spends over 3 million dollars on graffiti each year just in Manukau. Then she showed us some pictures of what graffiti looked like.

Then we all stood up and followed the one of the lady helpers who travels around Manukau painting over graffiti.. She led us out of Elm Park School and around the corner. We walked for about 30 minutes and then we stoped near a long alley.

We were shown where we were going to paint and how to paint. Then we had to choose a partner. I choose JM. We were then given a paint brush each and a paint bucket was put in front of us. We walked up the alleyway and the lady told us where to paint.

I dipped my paint bush into the paint pot and then lifted my paint bush up so fast it went all over Jason. It was really funny. We finished the whole alleyway in 45 minutes. I looked at it when we were finished and it looked beautiful.

Then we had to walk back to school. I felt very proud of myself because I did a good job and it was very helpful to the community.
