For this activity, let’s imagine that the government decides to create a new $10 bank note and replace Kate with a picture of a different New Zealand woman.

On your blog, tell us who you think the government should put on the new $10 note. Please provide us with a picture of this amazing woman and a short explanation of why you have selected her as Kate Sheppard’s replacement.

I think Ruby Tui because she is a great role model to many people and she is good at encouraging other people, she is great at rugby and that is why I think she should go on the 10 dollar note.

For this activity, please imagine that you are Mr Mandela and that you are living at Robben Island prison. You have been given a journal and each night you write in it.

On your blog, write a journal entry imagining that you are Mr Mandela. What do you think he did each day? How did he feel? Include as much detail as you can in the journal entry.

I am trapped in this horrid prison. There is no escape otherwise you get sliced into shreds or beaten. I can see the blue waves as they crash onto the surface. The grey brick walls are starting to grow mould into them.

For this activity, let’s imagine that you could be a superhero for a day. What three superpowers would you most like to have?

On your blog, please list the three superpowers, tell us why you have chosen each one, and tell us what you are going to do with them.

If I could choose three superpowers I would choose:

Water-powers: I would choose water powers because I would like to control water and be able to help animals in hot places that need water to survive.

Talk With Animals: I would choose to talk to animals because I love animals and would love to talk to them and also so I could help them if they needed it.

Flying: I would choose flying because I would really like to fly really high in the sky with all of the birds and other animals. I would also like to fly so that I could dive bomb into the water.

ROYGBIV


The ROYGBIV is an extreme rare species of Unicorn.                                                                                             ROYGBIV have a magical horn, at night their horn glows rainbow and in the day their horn is black. Their body is grey. They eat green plants with light blue flowers and sometimes they eat daisies. They drink rainbow water and they have wings as white as a piece of paper. ROYGBIV like to go swimming in lakes and  sometimes they like to go swimming in creeks. To get to their home they have to get a rainbow to come pick them up.
