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.
