Suffix

 Today I did something like prefixes but instead suffixes. It was tons of fun. I learnt lots of new suffixes, I paired them with an image and then wrote and example. Along with the meaning. I put all this information on a slideshow. I hope you love it. Do you know any examples of the suffixes on the last page?

Children's War

 Today for Reading I answered to questions, wrote a small piece of writing on what it would be like not seeing my family on the casualty list. Also finding a matching image. I found this image not to hard, and mostly fun. I hope you like the story. You should write one yourself.

I scan the casualty list looking for any sign of my family. I don’t seem to see them, I slowly reach the end. I never saw them, that is a bit of relief though I really want to know if they are okay. This feeling keeps me up at night unsure of their status. We only receive a letter once or twice a month usually.

The Children's War

 Today for Reading there are 3 parts to it. 1 is to write a short summary on what I wrote. 2 is to post a picture of what I did. Finally, I was to share what I think it would have been like to have been a child back then.

Summary

For around 4 years the War went on. New Zealand was being affected too, we gave around 14,000 soldiers to help fight. Most wanted to go for adventures, most just assumed they would be able to be back by Christmas. This was not the case, they spent a lot of time there. Most families had fathers, brothers and cousins in the war. The families kept up to date with what was happening in the war, through telegrams, letters, postcards and newspapers. Many kids waited for their families return. Though 1 in 5 men would not return home. 

During the War kids had to help by donating money, making scarves and handkerchiefs, and by sending cards along with the care parcels women made. The children also every morning sang songs as the Union Jack was raised. Then after some time, schools started creating cadet type things. To teach kids that you need to be fit and healthy on the inside and out. Also to get them to act like they are those people. The also had to learn through a journal for many reasons. Then after even more time, every school had to have a number of time for Physical Education.

Questions

What I think it would be like as a child back then

I think it would be really hard, family members over fighting. All of my friends going through the same thing. Classmates losing family and hearing lots got injured. It would be sad. Though when making cards and scarves you would feel slightly better to know that these are going out to those fighting.

What is on thing you know about the War?

Fallen leaves Comic Strip

 Today for Reading, I made a comic strip using Pixton Comics, it was about the Haora and the Battle of Kororaeka. I did my best on it, though there were limited options. There are captions to help you read it, you will have to probably zoom, cause the writing is a bit small. Did you know about the Battle of Kororareka before?

Jesus in the Temple

Today for R.E. I was too pick an event in Jesus' life and then write a summary, create and image, and find a quote kind of related. I chose Jesus getting lost at the Temple. I found it really hard to find a quote, I tried my best. It took a lot of searching but I got something relating. It is on my main poster, in the blue underneath the writing. I didn't have enough space to put in my own image so I added another poster/image below that. I hope you like it. If you had to do this activity what event of Jesus' life would you chose.

The Senses story

Today for Reading I did a Senses story from Haora's view. It means that I use the 5 senses to write a story. Smell, Taste, Sight, Touch, Hearing. I think I did a good job, have a look below this and read it. Tell me if you like it, do you like it?

Currencies

Today for Math I had to chose 2 other currencies and compare them to New Zealand's Currency. I did what is the exchange rate, a picture of the country, what currency they use, and lastly what other countries use that currency.

The Events of Jesus' life

 Today for R.E. I put Jesus' Life in order of events. It was a bit of a struggle at first but somethings helped me get them into the order. Some of the events were like Jesus' birth or him carrying the cross. Even him going up to Heaven. Look at my google drawing to see some more events from Jesus' life.

Men vs. Women - Venn Diagram

 Today for Reading I made a Venn Diagram comparing men and women on their rights back in the day. It really puts how unfair it was for women back in the day into a bigger perspective. Men were always seen as the more dominate and the more powerful, they were seen as the leader. Though women had many of good qualities and they could be a leader. Now have a look at my Venn Diagram to see the comparisons.

Do you know of any other rights that either of them had or similarities?

Newspaper Article, they got the vote.

Today for Reading I had to write a Newspaper Article on Kate Sheppard winning the right for Women to vote. I tried to base this on back in the day, but it was a bit tricky. I won't write to much and ruin it so look down below.

Do you know of any other people that campaigned in the suffrage?

Kate Sheppard

 Today I made a poster of what I think is the way they advertised women voting back then. Keeping in mind that they didn't have much so they had to travel and advertise and get signatures for the petition. I made my poster on an old times themed website and I just changed the writing and image. I hope you like it.

Do you know why women wanted to vote?

Kate Sheppard and Meri Te Tai Mangakahia

 Who is Kate and Meri?

Well Kate Sheppard and Meri Te Tai Mangakahia helped shape the future. They got women the privilege of voting. If they weren't there we might not look like what we do now. Kate and Meri went into Parliament at different times with different people. But the both campaigned for the voting of women. Though even though they did a lot of the same things, though Kate got women enrolled, mainly Kate is mentioned. Where Meri Te Tai Mangakahia did fight too. For more information on the two look below at my Google Drawing.

Had you heard of the pair before?
