Week 2 Day 5 Summer Learning Journey 2019 - 2020

WEEK 2: I HAVE A DREAM...
Politics and Activism
DAY 5: HUMANITARIAN HEROES
Activity 1 & 2 and 3 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Activity 1: Everyday Heroes [4 points]
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 the Fire Service, the Police Force and the Ambulance Service. Other related services include the Air 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, please brainstorm at least five ways we could support the people who are affected by the fires in New South Wales, Australia. You could think of ways to raise money, things to send them, and ways to keep them feeling positive.
On your blog, share your brainstorm of ideas and create a video or audio recording of yourself explaining each idea.

Activity 2: Leading by Example [4 points]
Mother Teresa and Princess Diana were both people who wanted to do things to help others. They were very different people, however they both had a significant impact on the world.

Mother Teresa was born in Eastern Europe but decided at a young age that she wanted to be a missionary (a person who gets sent somewhere to share their religious faith and do charity work). She moved to India where she worked hard and cared for those who needed her the most. Her work was recognised by the Catholic Church, which gave her the title of ‘Saint’ Teresa.

Diana, while not officially a saint, was a real-life princess. In her role as a princess, she travelled the world raising awareness about a number of important issues. Through her work, Princess Diana helped the world to see that all people, including those affected by illness and disease, needed love and respect. Princess Diana and Mother Teresa both led by example with acts of kindness towards others.
For this activity, we would like you to follow in their footsteps and perform a random act of kindness.
On your blog, describe your random act of kindness. What did you do? How did the person react? How did it make you feel? *Please check out the Eye-Catching Blog Posts page for ideas!

Activity 2: Leading by Example [4 points]

Random act of Kindness , This one day me and my family went out in the Old Pap ( Old Papatoetoe - Reasoning behind it because there is two Papatoetoe one is a new one the original old one )  to grab some butter chicken with rice and we did. Until we saw this man sitting on the concrete on a nice sunny day and we felt sorry , so we all went to go to the takeaways that was across the road and get some hot deep fried chicken with some chips and once we got it we to the dairy to get him some drinks and some fresh bananas also because it was a hot day and he had no food once once we got all the things. Me , my Brother and sister had a item each and gave it to him and my brother gave $15 dollars to him to help him get food if he needs it or when he's hungry . After that my mum and dad wished him good luck and said a speech to him and after that He said " Thank you" with a big smile on his face and that made me feel over the moon because my family helped a human being that was struggling. Then we hopped into our car and drove passed him and we all waved and he waved back happily eating this fresh hot chicken!! This was a Kindness act that i'll never forget!
Task Description : This task is my favourtive because I got to tell and share what me and my family did as a random act of kindness! I loved that day till today because it was so touching and so unforgettable , even writing it and sharing my story it brang back memories of that day and how that man smile and made me joyful and what we did made his day!

Week 2 Day 4 Summer Learning Journey 2019 - 2020

WEEK 2: I HAVE A DREAM...
Politics and Activism
DAY 4: INDIGENOUS RIGHTS
Activity 1 & 2 and 3 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Activity 1: Guiding Principles [4 points] 
Image Attribution: Portrait of Hone Heke, William Duke, Public Domain
Hōne Heke was a rangatira (chief) of Ngapuhi iwi in Northland. He was a strong and fearless warrior, and also an intelligent leader who fought for Māori rights during the British colonisation of Aotearoa, New Zealand. He was baptised a Christian in 1835 and had much respect for the missionaries that came to New Zealand. Hōne Heke supported Te Tiriti o Waitangi - the Treaty of Waitangi - and was the first rangatira to sign it in 1840.

However he soon realised that under Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Māori rangatira were losing their authority (power). In protest, he cut down the flagpole that flew the British flag at Kororareka (Russell) four times. He must have been very frustrated and angry.
Sometimes when we feel strongly (frustrated, angry, happy, excited, in awe…) we find it hard to put our feelings into words. Many cultures have sayings, proverbs or metaphors that can help people to explain their feelings or describe specific things. In Te Reo Māori, some people may use a whakataukī.

For this activity, read through the seven whakataukī (proverbs or metaphors) presented in this document. Choose one that has meaning for you. Create a poster that features the whakataukī and be sure to include at least one image (a drawing or photograph) on the poster that represents the whakataukī that you chose.
On your blog, share your poster of your whakataukī. *Remember to attribute any images that you borrow from the internet or from other people. Please check out the Eye-Catching Blog Posts page for ideas!

Activity 1: Guiding Principles [4 points]
Task Description : This week I am learning about how to finish a task within a time frame as well as doing the task propley and also to have fun . This task was all based on our chosen whakataukī , I thought the one I chosen was really meaningful and meant a lot to me , as it kinda describe my life! My Favourtive part of this task was writing a short description of why I chad chosen that whakataukī.

Activity 2: Celebrating Diversity [4 points] 
There are between 370 and 500 million Indigenous Peoples currently living in 90 countries around the world. Together, they represent over 5000 different cultures and speak 4000 different languages. That is pretty amazing ‘eh?! I wish that I could speak 4000 languages!

Indigenous People is the term used to describe the people who were the first inhabitants of a land. In Aotearoa, Māori are Indigenous. Indigenous people have rich and vibrant cultures that make the world such a fascinating, varied and enriching place to live.

Activity 2: Celebrating Diversity [4 points]
 
Task Description : For this task I had to pick two groups out of the 5 groups given . They all had interesting statements and story's upon what had happened in the country. I deiced to go with Australia and Papa  New Guinea and I actually do not regret choosing them both because I got to learn different kinds of things in both country's!!

Activity 3: Wise Words [4 points] 
Sir Āpirana Ngata and Dame Whina Cooper were both influential leaders who fought for Māori rights. Āpirana Ngata was a lawyer and politician. He worked hard to give rights to Māori land owners, and he also spent a lot of his career encouraging Māori to preserve the culture - haka, poi, whakairo (carving), waiata (song), sport and the construction of more marae around Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Whina Cooper was the first president of the Māori Women’s Welfare League, which worked on improving health, education, housing and welfare for Māori women in New Zealand in the 1950s. She led the Māori land hikoi (march) from Northland to Wellington to protest against the loss of Māori land. She was nearly 80 years old at the time. Both of these individuals are examples of wise, inspiring leaders and role models.

For this activity, please identify someone in your life who is a role model to you. This could be a parent, grandparent, neighbour, minister, imam, rabbi etc. Please ask them to share one piece of wisdom (advice) with you that they think you and your blog readers should hear.On your blog, share this wisdom with your readers. Be sure you tell us who you heard it from and to use speech marks (“...”) if you are writing down exactly what they said.

Activity 3: Wise Words [4 points]
Image Attribution - Wise Words Quote
Believe it or not, I have two role models which are my mum and dad, I couldn't choose between both of them because they were in my whole life and they both loved me and my siblings and taught us different things in my part of my life and my journey ever since to where I am now. They have both said and did a lot for me in my 12 years and 07 days living in my life I have and said a lot of wise words but this is the only ones I can remember when they told me.
Wise Words - Mum - " Get a good education and work, hard and redeem the rewards later on"
In my meaning of what my mum had told me that I should and always be putting my education and school first and learn heaps that will help me and my upcoming future. But also when working to work hard and put 100% into it and do it first time right without coming back and doing it, again and again, to do it right. As well as after all the hard work the rewards will be redeemed when I'm finished with everything .
Wise Words - Dad - " To live life to the fullest "
In my meaning of what my dad said that I should " Live life to the fullest" and make everything count, make the most with our loved ones because you'll never know when its time.

Task Description : For this task I had to ask and rethink a upon what our role model or role models said to us in wise words and quoting the saying upon what they said. I deiced to go and explain what my revision meaning behind my parents wise words.
