Summer Learning Journey

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, we would like you to explore the School Strike for Climate Australia website.

On your blog, list three facts (things) that you learned, and include a photograph of something that you are doing around home to help the environment.

1) The Students are striking because they want the government to stop fossil fuel projects. E.g coal mining.

2) Renewable energy is better for the environment and they are trying to encourage the government to support renewable projects like wind or solo power. 

3) Climate change has become a crisis.

Summer Learning Journey

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. 

Summer Learning Journey

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.

Weird and Wonderful (Summer Learning Journey)

A cactus would need 1 Litre and 95 Millilitres

each year.

This is how I worked it out.

Problem Solve

365 x 3 = 1095

3 x 5 = 15

3 x 60 = 180

3 x 300 = 900

15 + 180 = 195

195 + 900 = 1095

Tāne Mahuta ( Summer Learning Journey)

 One Reason I would like to visit Tāne Mahuta

One reason I that I would like to visit the Tāne Mahuta is because it is
 the longest living tree in New Zealand. Some people call it the Lord
Of The Forest. Oneday I would like to stand right next to it and look
up to see where it ends.
