Family is a gift
Do you live with your family? Can you imagine a
life without them?
This is the case of many orphans in the world
and in our country.
People take family for granted, but it is a blessing,
a gift of life, even if you live just with your
mother, father, or grandparents. When we are
angry, sad, or happy, they will always be there to
support you and love you. In Chile, orphans and
abandoned children go to the SENAME centres,
where the government provides them with a
home, food, and clothes.However, what they
cannot give them is their real family. So, when
you get angry at your mum, dad, sister, or
grandparents, remember that they love you and
all they want is good things for you!

Hello, friends at

Canada at the
moment! Canada is a very cold country
in winter.
Winter is very long, and theres a lot of
snow. People wear boots, hats, scarves,
and jackets when they go out. People can
do lots of things in Winter. Some people
go skiing or practise snowboarding, and
some people go ice-skating. They dont
go swimming, because the water is very
cold. Children usually play in the snow
and make snowmen.

This is my second
post from the north
of this amazing
country. Chile
is a very long country,
so the weather is different, depending
on where you live.
In Arica, the weather is usually warm; its
generally sunny and people go to the
beach to practise surfing and
bodyboarding. I am taking swimming
lessons! I dont go running because I
dont have much time, but many people
do, and they usually wear T-shirts, shorts,
and trainers. I love this city!

take care of them or we can die.
At home, we have to water our plants and trees and we
have to fertilise them and make compost with dry leaves,

Nature and people are part of a team. They work together
to keep the planet alive and healthy.
Nature and humans co-exist. Humans are part of nature.
In nature, we have animals, plants, flowers, and trees.

THE LEGEND OF THE CALAFATE


Koonex was an old woman from the Tehuelche tribe. When
the tribe had to move to another territory, she couldnt go
because she was very weak, so the women of the tribe
made her a sunshade out of guanaco skin and left her
food and wood. Winter arrived, and some birds came to
keep Koonex company. One of the birds said: We need
food and a place to stay and keep warm. Koonex said: I
understand. As from today, you will have food and shelter
all year round Some wind blew the sunshade away and
Koonex transformed into a beautiful bush with perfumed
yellow flowers. In summer, the flowers turned into fruit.
This is why there are always birds around the Calafate bush.

the building, and the air inside gets hotter,
which helps plants grow better, and also
prevents them from being damaged,
either by bad weather or by animals.
