Newspaper Article | Social Studies
Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, today for Social Studies we learned more about the Great Pacific Garbage patch and the causes and effects it on the environment and living things. To showcase our learning we were tasked to make a newspaper article outlining the problem in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, this features the causes and effects of the problem.

Happy Earth Day!
Hi everyone! As some may know today is Earth Day. It is a day where we celebrate our planet and try to change Earth into a better environment to live in for both animals and humans. Earth Day is celebrated every year on the 22nd of April.
The very first Earth Day was on the 22nd April 1970 and on that day many people gathered to raise awareness about our planet. It has been around 50 years since that, which means it is the 50th Anniversary for Earth Day!

Summer Learning Journey 2019-2020 • Week 2 • Day 5 - Activity 1
Hi everyone! Welcome to another post. For today I will be doing another post for the Summer Learning Journey. Enjoy!
DAY 5: HUMANITARIAN HEROES
Activity 1: EVERYDAY HEROES
Every day, the men and women in the Emergency Services provide help and support people in New Zealand and around the world. At times, they have to risk their lives in order to save others.
Common Emergency Services include Fire Service, the Police Force and the Ambulance Service. Other related services include the Iar Ambulance, Search and Rescue, Coast Guard, Surf Lifesaving, and the Civil Defence (amongst others).
In Australia, Fire Services are currently fighting more than 150 wildfires burning in New South Wales, a province on the east coast of the country. The wildfires started in November 2019 and are not expected to stop for many weeks. It is a very challenging time for the men and women serving in the Emergency Services in Australia.
For this activity, we had to brainstorm five ways we could support the people who are affected by the fires in New South Wales, Australia. We had to also create a video or audio recording explaining each idea.

Summer Learning Journey 2019-2020 • Week 2 • Day 3 - Activity 2
Hi everyone! Welcome back to another post, today I am yet doing another post for the Summer Learning Journey. Enjoy!
Activity 2: THE RIGHT TO AN EDUCATION
Malala Yousafzai is a woman who was born and raised in Pakistan. In 2012, she was shot and wounded when travelling home on the bus from school. At the time, girls (and women) living in Pakistan were not encouraged or even allowed, to go to school. It is widely believed that Malala was attacked because of she (and her father) did not agree with this idea and they felt that women had the right to an education.
Once Malala recovered from her injuries she continued to advocate (fight) for the rights of all women to receive an education. For this work, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 - the youngest person to ever receive this prestigious prize. You can read more of her story here.
As well as giving speeches in front of many very important ad influential people, Malala has written books about her own life. She has also written a book for children called Malala's Magic Pencil.
For this activity, we had to write a short story. The story is about anything that we wish. But the story must be at least 10 sentences long.
