Zaeeda-SLJ-#Week 2 Day 5 (Humanitarian Heroes)

Week 2: I Have A Dream.....
Day 5: Humanitarian Heroes
Welcome back to another amazing day doing the summer learning journey. Today we will be learning about brave everyday heroes in our modern day society. This is the last day doing the summer learning journey this week. I am super excited to start learning so let's get started.

Activity 1: Everyday Heroes
For this task we were to brainstorm ideas on fundraising to help people in Australia who are current battling against wild fires. We then had to record us explaining our ideas.

24/7 we have amazing men and women, traveling around no just New Zealand but the whole world to help people. Men and Women in the emergency systems help provide people with the support they need. Sometimes it gets so dangerous that they end up risking their lives.

The Fire Police and Ambulance service are all common emergency services. They often help save many lives and many things from happening. There are other types of services like
Air Ambulance, Search and Rescue, Coast Guard, Surf Lifesaving, the Civil Defense and way more.

Currently in Australia Fire Services are battling over 150 wildfires happening in New South Wales a region on the east coast of Australia. The fires started in November 2019 and people have said that they are not expected to stop burning for many weeks to come. All Men and Women are working hard in the Emergency Services in Australia to make sure everybody is safe.


Activity 2: Leading By Example
For the second task we were asked to follow Princess Diana and Mother Teresa's footsteps and perform a random act of kindness. We then had to share with you what we did and how it made us feel and how the person reacted.

The random act of kindness I performed was at Kmart this afternoon. I found a small child around the age of 3, she was running around crazy with tears in her eyes. She had lost her family. I cheered her up and helped her find her family who happened to be in the food court.

The child's name was Layla and she had come to Sylvia park, with her older sister. But she wondered away from her older sister at some point during while they were shopping. I had found her by the stationery where I was looking for a backpack. 

I found it quite sad that she was crying alone. I helped her out cause I know what it's like getting lost and I used to get lost all the time. I have gotten lost at Kelly Tarltons, Auckland Museum and the Zoo. I got lost at Pak N' Save once. So yeah it was an easy but meaningful act of kindness.

Activity 3: Choose Your Own
For this task we were asked to choose someone we look up to. It can be anyone, a politician an actor singer sports person, or a family member. We then had write about what they have done, why we look up to them and how there actions have affected other people lives.

This concludes the last day of the week, I hope you enjoyed looking at people who are heroes in our everyday modern society. I had fun and can't wait to continue doing the summer learning journey. Me and my family have had a fun start to this year too. Just yesterday we went on a road-trip to Hamilton.

Zaeeda-SLJ-# Week 2 Day 4 (INDIGENOUS RIGHTS)

Week 2: I Have A Dream....
Day 4: INDIGENOUS RIGHTS
Welcome back to another amazing day doing the summer learning journey. Yesterday we learnt about women rights and how genders shouldn't divide. Today we are focusing on indigenous rights. I don't know much about this so I am excited about doing these tasks.

Activity 1: Guiding Principles
The first task we were required us to read through 7 whakatauki (Maori Proverbs/Quotes). We then had to choose one that had a meaning to us. We then had to create a poster with a photo or image of something that relate to the proverb.

Hone Heke was a Chief  (Rangatira), of the Ngapuhi iwi, that's located in Northland. Hone Heke was a powerful and good leader. He fought for his tribe and along side other Maori during the British colonization in New Zealand.  He had much respect for the missionaries and was baptized christian in 1835. He also supported the Treaty of Waitangi.

But after some time he soon realized that because of the Treaty of Waitangi, the Maori were losing power. He protested by cutting down the flag pole in Kororareka that flew the British flag no once or twice, but 4 times. 

He was probably very frustrated and irritated. When people feel that things are wrong and they really dislike things, they find it difficult to put there thoughts and emotions into words. Many cultures have sayings quotes and metaphors to express thoughts and special meanings. In Te Reo Maori these proverbs are called Whakatauki.


 My internet had stopped working for a while so I decided to actually make this poster. The Whakatauki I chose was "It's fine to have recollections of the past, but wisdom comes from being able to prepare opportunities for the future". This relates to me as the New Year just started (Happy New Year BTW) and lots of stuff is going to happen. I think it would be a good idea to keep this in mind.

Activity 2: Celebrating Diversity
For this task we were asked to learn about multiple Indigenous groups. We then had to choose 2 groups and share 2 facts about each group on our blogs. 4 facts in total.

Between 370-500 million Indigenous Peoples are estimated to be living in 90 countries around the world. They represent over 5000 different cultures when put together, they speak  around 4000 different languages. 

Indigenous people are people who lived on the land first. In New Zealand, Maori are the Indigenous people. Indigenous people have unique backgrounds that make the world an amazing and different place to live.

Australian Aboriginal
One of the oldest population groups of humans living outside Africa are Australian Aboriginal People. Some people say 70,000 years ago they migrated from in boats.

A genetic study that was conducted in 2017 on genomes on 111 Australian aboriginal people showed that the Australian aboriginal people nowadays are closely related to common ancestor who was apart of a population that appeared on the mainland about 50,000 years ago. 

The British colonization began in 1788, it was estimated that between, 750,000 and 1.25 Aboriginal Australians lived at the time. Soon trouble arose, with the locals devastated the British-Settlers started to take over the Aboriginal lands. Due to the violent conflicts, close to 20,000 indigenous people died on the colony’s frontiers, though some did survive. Most were defeated, by massacres and they continued to lose power as the British-settlers seized their land.

Ainu People
Hokkaido Japan, is a northern island that belongs to japan. It's home to the indigenous Ainu people. 25,000 Ainu people are estimated to live there currently. 

Polices that were made by the Government, back in the 19th century. Pointed out that Ainu might've have been a  dying ethnic group. The Ainu people have lived in Hokkaido, Sakhalin and on Kuril Islands for centuries, without making much movement they were quite remote.

The Japanese government, forced the Ainu to become Japanese citizens without their permission and opinions. This happened between 1871-1876. They weren't even allowed to speak the Ainu language, instead they were forced to speak Japanese. Their land was made public and there normal life style (Fishing, Hunting & Plant Gathering) was banned too. 

Activity 3: Wise Words
For this task we were to ask someone we look up to, or is a role model to us, a piece of advice. Some amazing words of wisdom and that we would share on our blogs.

The person I look up to is my mum, she an amazing person and work hard for our family and being a good member of the public. I think she's a great role model as she is a hard working mum with 3 kids, and she is still able to working long hours to make money for our family. My mum is also very modest and doesn't ask for to much either.

Her exact words of wisdom were "Go for gold and try you best, no matter what the outcome, you'll know you tried" I love this quote and I think it's an amazing quote and words to live by. This could apply to both your everyday life and times when things aren't going you way. Whichever way you look at it these are some wise words to live by Thanks Mum!

That concludes the second to last day of the second week. Had fun and can't wait to do more, I've been busy with some stuff New, Years Christmas and just family in general. I can't wait to catch up and continue doing the summer learning journey!

Zaeeda-SLJ-#Week 2 Day 3 (Women's Right)

Week 1: I Have A Dream....
Day 3: Women's Rights
I have been really excited for today, as we are learning about 2 people I look up to and have learnt about in the past. I have really liked what they have done, and women right is something very important to me as I am a female myself.
  Activity 1: The Right To Vote
For this task we were asked to find someone who would replace Kate Sheppard on the 10 dollar note. We then had to show who and why we would want them on the $10 note. I found this task extremely hard as I idolize Kate Sheppard and ever since I learnt about what she did I have seen her as a role-model, and someone amazing.

Kate Sheppard was born 10th March 1848. She became a very important New Zealander, in the 1800s. This was because she fought for Women's right to vote in elections.  Kate Sheppard, made petitions and collected names of people who supported her. She also worked hard, running public meetings, writing letters to the newspaper, and talking to politicians about what her say.

After a while, people started to listen. New Zealand became the first country to allow women to vote in elections back in 1893. We called this Women's suffrage. In Honor of Kate Sheppard's achievement, the New Zealand government decided to put her picture on the 10 dollar note.

https://www.sunsigns.org/famousbirthdays/d/profile/kate-sheppard/

I even though Kate Sheppard, deserves to be on the 10 dollar note. I would also like to see Jacinda Adern, on the $10 Note. She is the second female prime-minister but on top of that she is the youngest prime-minister. She has done many great things and has lead New Zealand through sad and happy times. She continues to lead and attempts to change New Zealand for the better.

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/336256/the-rise-and-rise-of-jacinda-ardern

Jacinda Adern is a politician serving New Zealand, as a prime minister. She has been in office since 26th October 2017. She is the youngest serving prime minister at the age of 39. I think she deserves to be on the $10 because she is a role model to not just female, but also young people. Because age shouldn't divide us either, and it is always possible to achieve you dreams at a younger age.

Activity 2: The Right To Education
For this task we were asked to right a story. The story can be about or written in anyway we like. But if we want full point the story has to be at least 10 sentences long.

Malala Yousafzai is a young woman that grew up and lived in Pakistan. In 2012, was traveling home on a bus when she was shot and wounded while she was traveling home on a bus. Back then, female were not encouraged to get an education and people were against girls and women getting an education. Many believed the reasons behind Malala being a victim of the attack, because Malala and her father thought women had a right to an education.

After Malala recovered from her injuries she continued to fight and protest for women's right to an education. For her hard work she was rewarded, the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. Malala was the youngest person to receive such a great award. 

Malala Yousafzai, went on to give speeches to many amazing and powerful people. She also wrote books about her life. One of her children's book are called Malala's Magic Pencil.

Once not long ago actually it was ten years ago in Mexico there lived three friends in a town called Taxco they were all girls. One girl's father was the town hero because he defeated the Robar Hermanos six times. But he didn’t live the sixth time to tell the story of how he defeated them. The only thing that was left of him was his indestructible sword stuck in a rock. Legend has it that whoever reveals the sword from the rock is a true hero. The girl’s name was Belle Hakim.

The second girl's father and relatives were all bullfighters. Her mum was one of the best bullfighters in Mexico. She nearly defeated every bull in the town  excepted one his name was COCO BOCO he was the biggest bull in the town and an undefeatable bull. The girl's name was Rose she was learning how to bullfight too. But Rose Sanjay also liked music it was also her dream to become a musician that’s why she always had a guitar with her.

The third girl’s father was the town mayor he was quite stubborn and he likes to be weird one day he was sneaking into the kids jungle gym and said he was just inspecting the equipment. There was this other time when he dressed up as a butcher man and was selling ice cream. The girl's name was Marie Casaba.

The three were best friends. They had a little saying that kept them together and kept their courage up they always like to say NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER. They loved to listen to the story of how their town was saved by many people many times. They even like to dress up and replay the same thing after learning about it.

Once every year the people of Taxco would come together to acknowledge the ones who came before us. The town would light up the graves of ancestors by putting candles and food like pies and water and lots of other Delicious things. Even the gods came Dios Ligero Dios Oscuro and candle maker.  Dios Ligero Dios Oscuro were to gods the total obesity that’s why they have a  candle maker he gives everyone their lives and keep the balance between the two gods.

When Rose and Marie went off to see Marie’s father Belle found herself face to face with a man who was holding out a magnificent diamond necklace. It was a necklace of life whoever holds or wears the necklace can not  die or get injured or hurt. Belle quickly made a deal with the man who was holding the necklace, Belle said that if I protected Marie she would be her only BFF. 

But that man was actually the god and ruler of the land of the forgotten his name was Dios Oscuro. The land of the forgotten is a dark gloomy and terrible place.  He had made a big wager with the god and ruler of the land of remembered her name was Dios Ligero. The land of remembered it was a cheerful  lighted up land with songs and joyful floats and jolly houses. 

Dios Oscuro had made a deal with Dios Ligero and if Dios Ligero loses she has to give Dios Oscuro the land of the remembered. But to make sure Dios Ligero loses Dios Oscuro is cheating, by giving Belle the necklace of everlasting life and then sending the Robar Hermanos to the town. But his plan wouldn’t happen right away. It will happen a few years later.

Anyways back to the story when Belle took the necklace but she didn’t know what she was doing she was actually taking the most dangerous jewelry in the world. How you ask because the  Robar Hermanos main goal is to attack the town with the necklace of everlasting life. 

Belle caught up with Marie and Rose and secretly wore the necklace.’’ I didn’t notice your necklace until now’’ said Marie ‘’ yeah where did you get it Belle’’ said Rose ‘’ it was my Mothers said Belle.The next Day they were walking down the peaceful town when Marie saw a few bulls going into  the butcher to be killed.

Marie Quickly told her friend what they had to do so off they went. Belle innocently went in to the butcher and distracted him so Rose and Marie could sneak out back and get the bulls free. Marie got the bulls free and then a stamped started all the bulls in town ran. But there was one bull that didn’t it was a Calf it had sweet eyes the size of oranges. It looked Marie in the eye and she felt some kind of connection between the two of them.

She grabbed the calf and ran toward the rest of the bulls. On the way she saw Rose’s guitar it was snapped into a hundred pieces she felt sorry for Rose and was going to try to make it up to her. When Marie got here she saw that right in front of her was a big ferocious bull huffing and puffing just waiting for her to notice him. Suddenly Rose grab a red cloth and shoved Marie to safety then Rose fought the bull and then caged the bull but just as Rose finished 

Bell walked up and wiped some dust off her shoulder making it look like she did all the work. The mayor came and thanked Belle instead of rose. Rose didn’t say anything because she didn’t want to make a scene. So she quietly walked next to Belle. After the Mayor Stopped thanking Belle he walked over to Marie and said ‘’No more of this nonsense you are going to Perfection Girls Academy  they will whip you into a proper.

Nightfall  came and it was time for Marie to leave to go to the academy. Rose and Belle both came to the train station to say goodbye. Rose gave Marie the little calf she rescued. But Belle didn’t know that she had to bring a present. Marie also gave Rose a present she gave her a new guitar. Before Rose could say thank you. Marie had gotten onto the train.  Rose whispered to herself quietly I will wait for you. Then they went home.

Early in the morning Rose’s uncle woke her up ‘’ come on it’s time for training’’ Rose said Rose’s uncle. At the same time Belle was woken by her uncle ‘’ come on it hero training time’’ said Belle’s uncle.

They got to work straight away. Rose worked hard at being a bullfighter and a singer. Year after year they grew older and year after year they grew apart and better than they were. They worked hard and stayed strong. But Belle grew a little self absorbed.

Ten Years later!!!

One day Rose was walking through town to see Belle when a crowd of people went running past  her. Rose asked where they were all going a woman replied and said ‘’ we are going to see the great Belle do some stunts’’.

Rose followed them and had to be pulled and pushed her way through the crowd and finally got to the front. Then she saw Rose telling people about the time were she saved Marie from a bull. Rose left the crowd and when she ran into her uncle. ‘’ Let’s go you have to get ready,’’ said Rose’s uncle ‘’ready for what” replied Rose ‘’ for your first bullfight’’ said Rose's uncle ‘’ you never told me about that’’ said Rose ‘’yes but you have to do it’’ said her uncle.

They went home and got ready. This was the biggest event of the year. It is a bigger deal because it was the same day that Marie would come back from  Perfection Girls Academy. They got to the ring and the people started to take their seats.

Rose was in the ring when the bull was released. Marie came and sat down beside her dad. The fight started. Rose did amazing tricks like jumping over the bull and doing flips. Rose saw Marie and got the bull to follow the read cloth. Rose used the bull to spell Marie name in the middle of the ring.

The crowd applauded. When the bull was worn out Rose’s uncle gave Roses the sword the sword to kill the bull. Rose walked up to the bull and stuck the sword in the ground and yelled out to the crowd ‘’ KILLING THE BULL IS WRONG’’ then a voice came from high up in the stand where the mayor sits ‘’ GO GO GO ROSE’’ it was Marie.

The crowd started throwing food at Rose. When the ring was empty and the bull had even left Marie came to Rose and said ‘’Good job’’. They both went back to their family. Then Bella came to Rose and said you blew it. 

They went home and that night the mayor through a welcome back party for Marie. The mayor invited the whole town except for Rose’s family. Night came and  Rose was walking through streets feeling sad. Marie was standing at her balcony just looking down as if waiting for someone. Rose gathered all her courage and walked over to the balcony. 

After a few seconds of silence Rose spoke she said  ‘’ I was a jerk at the fight’’ ‘’no no’’ Marie answered ‘’ you did what you believed it was wrong to kill the bull and that was in your heart’’ Rose looked up at her with a little grin. “Why aren’t you at the party” said Zaeeda “ why would I be the only thing happening is Belle making up pretend stories.

That’s when Marie’s father called her to come have some cake. “ By then” Said Rose without thinking ‘’ Bye “ replied Marie. Then Marie slowly left the balcony to join father down stairs. Rose slowly walked home where her uncle was waiting 

''WHAT DO YOU HAVE a SAY FOR YOURSELF’’ Rose’s uncle said as Rose entered the house ‘’ you have ruined our family name by not killing the bull’’ Rose’s uncle replied. ‘’ you live under this roof you live under my rules’’ Rose’s uncle said again. Still Rose hung her head low in silence then went to her room.

That night Rose went to sleep without dinner. She tossed and turned in her comfy bed but still she didn’t feel the bit sleepy she turned to the window and stared out the window there sat a peaceful shining moon. Rose lay there thinking about what to do. One of her best friends were trying to steal the other.

Just as Rose was about to fall asleep “WAKE UP SLEEPY BONES” said a sweet voice Rose leaped out of bed surprised of what had just happened. “MUM” yelled Rose as she ran to the ghostly figure, Rose tried hugging her but her arms just went through her “ don’t worry” said her mum I am just a spirit.

“Now what has gotten you so worried” asked her mum as her arm went through Rose sweet strawberry brown hair Rose sighed then explained to her mother about how one of her friend tried to steal the other friend. Her mum stopped her before she could explain what happened at the bullfight. “It sounds to me like you need to talk to her alone for a while.

Just as her mum finished Rose yelped out “lighting bolt from the blue”  after a short pause “I know I can invite her to a picnic on top of the hill at the end of town”  Rose told her mother. “That’s the spirit” her mother replied happily.The next morning Rose woke up early and got a nice picnic together then went to invite Marie to join her. The picnic was at high noon so then they could see the beautiful sunset. 

That afternoon Rose met Marie as they had planned. They had a nice picnic and a nice time watching the sunset when up on a rooftop Dios Oscuro was watching. He thought if Rose  talked to Marie he would have to live in the land of the forgotten forever. So he summoned his two headed snake to bite Marie once.

His plan was to make Marie fall into a deep sleep which can only be broken by a hero and  when Rose thinks that Marie dead she will want to be with her in the land of the remembered so then the snakes will bite her twice and she will die for real.

Oops spoiler alert back to the story. Marie was having a great time dancing to the song Rose was playing on her guitar when suddenly a snake two headed snake came from behind the tree on the hill and bit Marie on the leg. Rose stood there paralyzed not knowing what to do next. 

Soon it started to rain and Marie's father was getting worried about Marie so he gather up some guard and Belle. They arrived on the hill and met Rose half way in her arms lay Marie her Father rushed of the horse and ran to hold her daughter's hand “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER” yelled Marie’s Father Rose Quietly replied “there was a snake and.. Belle cut Rose off “and  you did not protect her you're a bullfighter and you couldn’t even defeat a snake.They took Marie back home and left Rose to herself. 

Rose went back to the hill and stared at the tree. The out of nowhere a wing poked out from behind a tree it was Dios Oscuro, “Who are you? Asked Rose “ no time for questions” after a small pause he smiled. “Do you want to be with Marie” ? asked Dios Oscuro “ with all my heart”  murmured Rose a little louder please with all my heart” replied Rose a little annoyed “Very well” replied Dios Oscuro he clicked his fingers and in a flash. The two headed snake appeared and just as it slithered up to Rose she yelled “it was your snake”. 

But Dios Oscuro couldn’t hear her because the snake had already bitten her but not once twice. Back at Marie’s house Belle was sitting beside Marie’s bed holding her cold stiff hand. She sat there in silence as a single tear ran down her cheek, it left a small trail dissolving into her skin. When the tear hit Marie’s palm she started to move as she did her eyes opened. ‘’ wh wh what happened there was a snake then ROSE” she shouted in the as Belle went to calm her down ‘’ don’t worry Rose wasn’t hurt”.

As her father found out what had happened he yelled with joy. In honor of Belle the mayor was throwing a party without Rose again. Back to what happened with Rose. Once Rose was bitten she had what everybody has once in there lifetime she had her funeral. Once Rose had landed into the land of the remembered Rose met her great grandfather on a blip.

“Hola ahí Rose” yelled Rose’s mother as she landed on the blue Rose was standing on “Hola” Rose replied as she went in for a hug. Now why are you here I want to be with my friend Marie. “ Well  Marie hasn’t died yet,” said Rose’s great great grandfather. “Then I must see Dios Ligero to ask for my life back” Rose purposed “then we will go with you” her family agreed. 

So they set off they past candles and blips of all kind and saw treats and food from all around from every angle there was a joyful star shining happily among the sky. Soon they arrived at Dios Ligero castle it was even brighter than the rest of the city. As Rose entered a cold chill ran down her spine. As she entered the main room there a long table set with nice treats with a heart shaped chair turned around. 

Rose ran to the chair and bellowed down for Dios Ligero. But when the chair turned around there sitting in front of her was Dios Oscuro. “Wh wh where is Dios Ligero” ? Rose asked in surprise “she is at the land of the forgotten” replied Dios Oscuro “ but why?'' asked Rose “because she lost a wager” mumbled Dios Oscuro. 

Rose thought about it then asked  Dios Oscuro to take her and her family to the land of the forgotten her agreed and took her there. When Rose was there she arrived she asked the rest were she might be the other told her that she might be in the castle at the end of crooked road. So they set off.

When they arrived they saw a figure turned away behind a yellow gold curtain of dust.’’ Dios Ligero” Rose yelled but not as loud as usual “yes” replied Dios Ligero in a welcoming voice. “ Could I please have my life back” asked Rose in a very brave voice “whatever for” asked Dios Ligero. “Well I want to be with my best friend” Rose said feeling like her heart would jump out of her chest.

But that means ….. She paused for a minute then she vanished and returned a few minutes later with Dios Oscuro. When she reappeared she turned to Dios Oscuro and shouted “YOU CHEATED” while Rose on the other hand was thinking about what she was talking about and then she slapped him in the face then turned away, soon she looked at Rose and said sorry I can’t give your life back not until the other approved.

She turned to Dios Oscuro and said what do you think, he said how about another bet.Then he tried to Rose and said tell me what is your biggest fear, Rose he said that Rose could see that the middle of the Gods I had turned into a skull. Then she snapped his fingers and said got it. Then he turned the place around him into a bull ring.

After a while Dios Oscuro told Rose her task. As he spoke his voice was stronger than usual and he said “ Rose your task is to defeat every bull the Sanjay’s family have ever defeated all at once. In the ring it also had a part where her family sat to support her. Rose grabbed the cloth and stood in front of the gate were the bulls we released. As she stood her heart skipped a beat while the bulls we released.

As she held the cloth in front of her while all the bulls charged toward her then suddenly she moved to the side. The bull all crashed into the side of the ring were stayed. But then unanticipated the bulls all molded into a huge skeleton bull. Rose stayed calm while the god Dios Oscuro was sitting at the edge of his seat rubbing his hands together maniacally.

Once again the bull charged in her direction. Once again she jumped out of the way but this time over the bull. Once the bull was stuck Rose went to get the sword although that what you thought. She walked to the stand and reached for the sword when she saw her reflection. It made her realize this wasn’t her she. 

Then she firmly grabbed her guitar and walked to the place where the bull had just broke free. It was about to charge when Rose started to play. Just then Dios Oscuro cracked up and couldn’t help but laugh at Rose who had melted the bulls heart with her song. She played a few more notes then stopped because the bull had gone to permanent sleep.

Her family hurried to see if she was alright and she was they all danced in joy while Dios Oscuro tried to make a run. Dios Ligero stopped him ‘’ hey we made a bet and you lost now pay the price or I will be having some very strong word with you’’ she said. The gods all approached Rose and said by the power invested by the gods we give you Rose your life back.

For Rose everything went blurry and then suddenly she approached right in the middle of a grand parade with Belle and Marie in it. Marie didn’t look the happiest but Belle sure did. They had just arrived were I was when someone yelled “Robar Hermanos !”. Everyone yelled and shrieked in panic but Marie stayed calm. 

Belle search her neck for the necklace of life but it wasn’t there she climbed off the float and ran to her house and got her necklace then hurried back were the Robar Hermanos were rampaging everywhere. Jam jar spilled and the town was a mess until Rose started to fight back, she got the brothers all after her and she hurried around town.

Then to the bell tower. Rose arrived and saw that Marie was already there she watched as belle lord them under the bell. As soon as the were there she pulled down on the bell which trapped her and the Hermanos brothers underneath. Everybody thought that was the end of her but then Marie saw Rose’s climbed out from underneath the bell.

She ran to bell and gave her a great big hug. “Your still alive” said Marie with joy. They arrived at the town square were Belle was stumbled with questions by her fellow townspeople. Just then Marie's father realized that she was wearing the necklace of everlasting life. Then he ripped the necklace and walked away. 

The towns people went back to what they were doing and the town started to get going again. Belle stood there in complete silence. Marie and Rose approached her. Rose grabbed her hand and said “ don’t worry we forgive you and so does the town I think” Marie nudged her and gave her that stop it look. 

The three former friends became friends again and from that day on they always said no retreat no surrender and it is a symbol of their friendship. It became their saying and went on to resemble many other friendships!

Activity 3: Belle Of The Ball

Emma Watson is a movie star that started acting in films at the young age of 9 years old. She was in Harry Potter as Hermione Granger, and again appeared in 'Belle' from the Disney adaption to Beauty and The Beast.

Emma isn't just an actor, when she isn't in front of a camera she is giving speeches and advocating for women's right. She launched the HeForShe Campaign in 2014 which encourages males to support Women rights by speak about gender equality. 

Emma Watson also an active reader, who has started her own world-wide book club. We had to imagine that Emma emailed asking for a book review on a book to share with her readers. For this task we had to we were to choose a book we like, and after reading it we were to right a short summary of a the story. So basically we had to right a book review.

My book is diary of a wimpy kind the long haul. it about Greg Heffely going on a road trip to his Grandmas house. and things start going down hill due to the fact that things never seem to go right for Greg. 

I am up to the part where they are traveling in there car when Greg throws a chip to a seagull and suddenly gets attacked by a flock of them. This is just one of the many things that have just happens he has told us about himself and also about his family. I can relate to Greg I am a year 7 that will be going in to year 8 next year, at Point England life isn't always a piece of cake and I am the middle child in my family just trying to make my family happy but things always seem to go wrong.

My prediction is that Greg and his family decided to call it a night and start looking for a family they have to go to a few hotel because they don't look very good and also to the fact that there so expensive. I also think that there car run out of gas the next morning and they have to push the car to the gas station where they get told it has broken down and then they have to get it towed and need to get a ride. They also get a ride with a nice couple but the down side is Greg has to sit with luggage again. I don't know what else is gonna happen but I think I am close to what will happen.

This concludes the third day of the week. Had fun and can't wait to continue doing the summer learning journey. I did struggle with the first task but had doing the second and third.

Zaeeda-SLJ-# Week 2 Day 2 (Taking Action)

Week 2: I Have A Dream....
Day 2: Taking Action
Today we are going to be learning about people who did some amazing things all to make prove a point. This was because they had a dream and believed that they could achieve there dream, and change things for the better!

Activity 1: A Long Walk To Freedom
Nelson Mandela is an civil rights leader and an activist. He was born and raised in south-Africa. South Africa had a political system called Apartheid, for over 40 years from 1948-1991. This meant that they had different rules and customs, South-Africa had different rules for poeple with white skin, and people who didn't.

Nelson Mandela didn't feel to well about this, and thinks that everybody should be treated equally. Fortunately, Nelson Mandela became president and put an end to Apartheid. He changed the political system for the better, but this wasn't before he went through some hard times. Mandela spent 27 years in jail before this.

Mandela 18 years in Robben Island Prison. As you'd expect life was tough, but he got through it. Mandela spent his days breaking rocks into gravel, he was forced to work in the quarry all day long. At night he would study hard, learning to become a lawyer. He was allowed to have 1 visitor and a letter every 6 months. Life was hard!


This is my letter,  I did have some trouble as I have no idea what jail is like. I have never even seen a jail in real life. So this did take some imaging.


After some time I did manage to right it, I enjoyed this task as it really made me think. I also had fun learning about this topic. It's something I was always interested in from the beginning

Activity 2:School Strike For Climate
For this task, we were asked list three facts (things) that you learned about the School Strike for Climate Australia. We then had to take a picture of something we were doing around the house to save the enviroment.

Climate change is a large problem, and at this rate we may not have a future. We need help, and we need to take action. A lot of people are taking action and wanting to do things, all they need is attention from the people who have power.

School Strike for Climate Australia, are school students who want to save there future from climate change. They are putting there education on hold and are protesting, and wanting politicians to listen to them and make a change for the better.

These students want to change a couple of things. I think that if every country attempts to do this, they might be able to slow down most of the affect of climate change, until they find a solution to stop it completely. 
  
- No new coal, oil and gas projects, including the Adani mine. 
-100% renewable energy generation & exports by 2030. 
-Fund a just transition & job creation for all fossil-fuel workers & communities.

They had 15,000 students in the November 30th will get September 20th with 300,000 strikers. They have 6-7 million strikers around the whole world. A lot of people are interested in this strike and everyday they get more powerful. They will not stop until the politicians listen, and the world changes for the better.

I save the enviroment by saying no to plastic bags. Plastic plays a large role in our world pollution problem too. It kills animals, floats out to sea and pollutes water and is just terrible in general. So I have stopped using plastic bags and my alter-native to that is tote bags and biodegradable bags.



Activity 3: I Have A Dream....

For this task we had to consider the problems that people with different colored skin faced in America back in 1950s and 1960s. We then had to describe the problem and what Rosa Park did about it, the last thing we had to do was share how people reacted the changes.

Back in the 1950's and 60's America had some different rules for people with white skinned and dark skinned people. These rules included things like not being able to go to the same school, being forced to use different toilet. They even had too sit in different parts of the bus.

Martin was a Christian minister in the USA in the 1950s and 60s. He was a fighter for equal right as he didn't like the rules and boarders that differed people with different colored skin. 

A problem that dark skinned people faced back then, was having to sit in different parts of the bus. Every time a dark skinned person would ride on the bus, they go in the normal door, pay and then walk out, and around to the door at the back. Light-skinned people were only allowed to sit at the front. No one argued as that was the law.

One day a women called Rosa Parks, was riding on the back of the bus. Everything was normal, until the bus driver told Rosa Parks to give up her seat in order for light-skinned person to sit down. Rosa Parks refused and caused a riot, this was a game-changer for many different colored skinned people. Rosa Parks believed that we should all be treated equally, and thinks that laws that separated people into groups were wrong. After she had refused, she was arrested because of the bus driver. 

A lot of people we mad about this. After what happened to Rosa Parks, many people started to boycott, public transport systems. Buses, were no longer used, other people started to protest against segregation is what they called it. So laws like these finally came to an end, dark skinned people finally stood up for themselves and said no. A lot of the public saw what Rosa Parks did, and saw her as a role model. ROSA PARKS February 4th 1913-24 October 2005.

That concludes the second day of week 2. I am really enjoying this week, I have been really interested in learning about these people and how they've stood up for themselves and fought for what they believed. I did enjoy this and hope to continue learning about people like this.
