Special places

Today Room 1 and 2 began our unit on Special Places. We walked down to the site where the Baptist Church used to stand and experienced the of 185 Empty Chairs that commemorates the lives of those who died in the earthquake on 22 February 2011.




Chris the Minister explained about the 185 square metres of grass and the 185 Empty Chairs.








We spent two minutes in silence to pray for those who died.




We then walked across to the river and looked at the sculpture that commemorates those who died in the Twin Towers on 11 September.




















Both places are special to the people of Christchurch.
