The Early Years St Joseph’s Cathedral
The Early Years The right to vote
.
.
The first prime minister of New Zealand was called Henry Sewell he served from 7th of September 1807 – 14 May 1879.The longest serving prime minister was Richard Seddon, who held the position for thirteen years between 1893 and 1906.In the year before 1893 women were not allowed to vote until a women named Kate Sheppered lead a important movement in New Zealand calling for a change in the law. Finally on the 19 of September 1893 women were allowed to vote.
Here are a few reason why women in Saudi Arabia should be allowed to vote.
- Women and Men are both human and diverse to have the same rights.
- Women are an important part of a country and should have the right to vote.
- Women work just as hard as men sometimes harder.
- Women are not afraid to stand for whats rights. Take Malala Yousafzai for example who fought for girls education.
Bonus Activity: In Flanders Fields
For 15 year New Zealand was relatively quiet until 28 July 1914. This day marks the beginning of World War 1.World War 1 lasted five years and took the lives of 18,000 New Zealanders.
Here is a poem call In Flanders Fields. For this activity I have to say whether I like the poem and how it makes me feel.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
The poem makes me feel lucky because my Dad doesn't have to go to war and just think about all those sleepless nights thinking about your Dad wondering if he's ever coming back.I think we are very lucky that all those New Zealanders went and fought for our freedom.
Hello Braeden!
ReplyDeleteWell done, you're really smashing it out. Thank you for providing us with another well presented, well articulated blog post.
Activity One: St Joseph's Cathedral.
I've been learning a lot about the Notre Dame De Paris recently, how incredible is the building? I think that the architecture is so unique and beautifully designed.
Have you ever seen the Disney movie, The Hunchback of Notre Dame?
Activity Two: The Right to Vote.
Thank you for providing us with a list of reasons for why you think that women in Saudi Arabia should be allowed to vote. I'm really proud of you for this!
You're right, women and men are both humans and we do deserve the right to vote.
I especially like how you mention that women sometimes work harder than men, this is so true— and I know that speaking as a female, my opinion is incredibly bias. However, take Mothers for example, the most hardworking individual there is!
Bonus Activity: In Flanders Fields.
Ka pai Braeden for giving us another excellent summary. I really appreciate that you've researched what this poem is about. And exactly, we are so fortunate to have freedom. I know that I personally would be a bit of a wreck if my father or brother and friends had to go to war, in saying that... women are also enlisted in the army, so I would probably have to go to war too!
Keep up the great mahi ☺
Cheers,
Jordan
Kia Ora Braeden,
ReplyDeleteI think that it is great that you came up with four reasons about why women should be allowed to vote in Saudi Arabia. Did you know that in Iceland they have just passed a law that bigger companies have to pay women and men the same, if they are doing the same job. They are going to go through and check that all the companies are doing it as well!
