Yesterday we did a video conference with another school in
Palestine; it was really interesting I enjoyed it very much. We got to learn
about the way we have different to each other about each other’s schools and
the way they worship and different cultures.
We introduced ourselves and our school and described our school told them about all our sports and all our activities. In return they
told us about their hobbies and how when coming into school or on the bus they
would have to have an ID to get on over the border and into school. Outside
their school they have a barrier and soldiers everywhere and are a great fear
to them. A young boy about 13 years old, was in great fear of them and hates
being around and it effects their life a lot. They would love to live without
them.
A big shock to me was about, when they asked ‘do you find it
hard to get resources in your school?’
We didn’t realise how hard it was for them we take it for
granted what we have and how rich our school was and how easy it is to forget
about other’s who don’t have what we do and that we would respect what we do
have and keep them clean and good for as long as possible.
The last thing that I realised was how close we were as a
school. In Palestine they have 2000 students and we only have around 400. As a
school Bloxham is a tight unit and we work together well. But out in Palestine
they have a very different approach to things and have so many students it
would be hard to know them all and the school is much separate to each other.
