Children's Rights

Every child deserves the same rights as us but some children don’t have those rights. I think that all children should have a right to medical care. At Nelson Central School we get bandages when we get cut.

We have been learning about the children of Kroo Bay. Kroo Bay is a slum community in Africa. In Kroo Bay children don’t have enough medicine to go around. Some children get sick and die from diahorrea. One child out of four would die before they were five. There is a clinic that was just made but there is still not enough medicine for everyone.

In Kroo Bay they also don’t have good materials to make their houses. They just use anything they can find in the river like old scrap metal. When it rains their houses leak ans sometimes it rains so much the houses flood. The children have to walk through the Crocodile River to get to some places.

Save the Children helps poor children in countries all around the world. I would like to but a mosquito net from the wish list. It costs $13. It could save a lot of lives.

So please tell your friends and family about how the mosquito net from the wish list can help a lot of childen.

Making a Fossil

Fossils are hard to find and very precious from the dinosaur times.

You will need:

Clay,

A small container,

Shells,

Plaster of Paris,

Gold spray paint,

Thin metal wire,

Black paint,

An old cloth.

This is how you make them.

First you push the clay into the container. Make it as thick as 1½ cms. Now you flatten it until it’s smooth.

Next you need to push the shells and make a pattern. Then pull them out again.

When you are happy with your shapes, you pour Plaster of Paris on until it’s about 1½ cm deep. You might need an adult to help with this.

After that you need to make a loop out of the little piece of wire. Twist it and leave a little loop on the

end. Put it into the Plaster of Paris.

Later on, after a week or so, or when it has

gone as hard as it could be, carefully pull

the model out slowly. When it comes out pull all the brown clay off.

Now you’re nearly there. All you need is to get gold spray paint and spray your fossil gold and shiny. When it dries, paint your fossil black and quickly rub it off.

Finally, hang it anywhere you want.
