For this activity, choose a book that you like and write a short review of it. In the review, tell us what the book is about and what you like about it.

On your blog, share your book review with a photo or illustration (drawing) of the book.

The book I am choosing to write a review about is Holes by Louis Sachar because one of my favourite books, it also is very good because it gives you clues to what will happen in the end. The main character is Stanley Yelnats. Stanley is sent to camp green lake in Texas. While he is at camp green lake he makes some new friends.

For this activity, please consider the problem that black men and women faced in America at this time.

On your blog, describe the problem. What did Rosa Parks do about the problem? How did other people react?

On the 1st of December 1955 Rosa Parks was extremely tired of how coloured people where getting treated. At the time seats at the front where reserved for white people and the seats at the back were for the black people. After a long day at work Rosa Parks boarded onto the bus and took a seat. The bus filled u very quickly and a white man came on and the bus driver told the African American passengers to give up their seats to him because he was white but Rosa disobeyed him and refused to do as he said. In the end Rosa was arrested by the police because of breaking segregation laws. Rosa refused to pay and argued that the law was wrong.  And on the 13th November 1956 the supreme court that Alabama racial segregation weren't valid and should not be recognised

For this activity, please write a letter that includes the issue you have chosen, why you have chosen it, and what you would like our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, to do about it. It is your job to persuade us (and her!) that it’s an important issue.

On your blog, share your letter to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

Dear Jacinda,

I just thought their should be some more hotels and motels that pets can go and stay at with their owners over the summer holidays so they don't get left at home because imagine that you were a pet and you were left at home with a stranger you had never met before and you are left with them for a week or maybe even more than that. You wouldn't get as much attention, don't get any exercise until your owners get back from their holiday and you are also extremely board, lonely and sad. But if their was accommodation for yourself and your pet, it would be the best moment of the pets whole life. So next time you go on holiday think of how your pet would feel if it came too.

Your Sincerely
Summer

For this activity, we would like to hear about a time when you, or someone you know, was brave like Sully.

On your blog, recount a time when you (or someone else you know) did something brave.

One day my kitten was stuck on the roof of our house and she could not get down so my uncle came around and got my cat down of the roof. My uncle had to climb up onto the roof using the ladder. I think that was brave of him to do that.

The WWF: World Wildlife Fund

The WWF (World Wildlife Fund) are trying their best to save Freshwater Seals. To help save the Seals the WWF are building snow banks for the seals so that when the pup is born the snow banks can give the pup protection from predators, the cold and human disturbance. If pups are born in the open up to half of them could die.

365 x 3 = 1095

3 x 5 = 15

3 x 60 = 180

3 x 300 = 900

15 + 180 = 195

195 + 900 = 1095
