SLJ Activity 3: ‘Dear Jacinda’

Dear Jacinda,
I have come across a terrible and crazy problem...
My family got eaten by a huge banana! It all started when My brother was eating a banana. The banana that he was eating seemed to start growing. Then it grew a face, then legs, then arms and then it was a huge monster. We tried to cut it open with all the knifes in our kitchen, but it was to strong and gobbled the knifes all up. My dad tried to wrestle it and, you already probably know how that went. It was only my mother, brother and I trying to destroy this beast. We tried to fight, then it gobbled my brother and my mother up! I quickly ran away before it could spot me.

Please Jacinda I need your help!
From Ki...

SLJ day 4 Activity 3: Wise Words

"Never be greedy with money or take advantage of your workers when you grow up." Those are the truthful words that my grandfather said to me as I walked out of the door of his house. People say the he is a wise man and that he knows when something is going to happen or that he can read minds, but he's just a normal man.

He was born and raised in Tonga. He has three sons and three daughters. Some of them grew up to be wise and some of them still live with him. My dad was one of the wise ones, I think... My granddads he has a company and is doing great, anyway i'm getting off topic.
The point is that when you grow up be wise and if you are already grown up you know what to do...

This task was to ask someone of your family for some wise words and those are words that I remember asking him for. Remember be wise and don't get in trouble.

SLJ DAY 3: WOMEN’S RIGHTS Activity 1: The Right to Vote

   

I think that our government hers truly the queen (Elizabeth II) should replace Kate Sheppard with our prime minister  Jacinda Ardern. The reason why I think this is because she has done a lot for the woman community and has been a great and striving leader for our country. she is the 40th prime minister of New Zealand and she has done a fantastic job. So that is why I think she should be on the 10$ bill.

This task was to think about a woman leader and explain why you would replace Kate Sheppard with that leader. I chose Jacinda Ardern because of her fantastic leadership.Would you have chosen somebody else?

SLJ DAY 2: TAKING ACTION Activity 1: A Long Walk to Freedom

 12/08/1970’

Today I worked in the quarry nearly breaking my arms  while beating at the gravel. It’s hard being in prison thinking of my old life and trying not to get angry or upset. 

The prison guards here are strict and I miss my family very much. Each day being the same, waking up, with my back in pain and going out to the quarry and breaking the rocks into gravel. 

I hate it here, but I can’t complain, the ‘beds’ are horrible here, they are made of straw and are so uncomfortable. At least I have my studying to look forward to. At night I study to be a lawyer,and I enjoy it, it takes my mind off everything. 

Someday I will get out of this prison and live the life I deserve...

For this task we had to put ourselves in Nelson Mandela's shoes. We had to think about what it would be like to be in prison and have to sleep on flask and work all day.
