Well, we were walking up the road and they were all shouting at us and then it got silent and everybody was shaking and everybody was holding onto their mummy's hand tight. And all you heard was a big bang and people screaming. And then everybody started running up for the school and when everybody got into school they were in…like in hysterics and all…and everybody goes to me like that…and they didn't want to come into school and they wanted to go back down home, so I did.
And you had a special visitor in school today. Who was he and can you tell me what did he say to you?
Archbishop Tutu, and he was talking about what they were doing to us and he said they don't really know what they're doing to us. And he said that when Jesus got crucified on the cross, he didn't crucify them back, you have to bless them. And he was holding his hands and going 'oh good!' like that and all! And he was dancing around and he was so happy, so he was.
And were you frightened in the morning, when you were going to school?
I'm not frightened. I'm just nervous and I'm really cold. But me and my mummy have a wee chat on the way up to school, so we do, and it doesn't really bother me anymore because you don't hear the horns or the whistles anymore, or you don't hear the…the names that they're calling us. And you're not…I don't really stare at them anymore because I just look at the road. And every morning you think the road is getting longer…every minute. Well, sometimes I hear it and I say, well, they don't really know what they're doing and they don't really know what they're saying, but I know they don't mean it. But whatever they do, I'll always forgive them…for doing it.
