T4 W1

This is my speech I hope you enjoy!

Rosa parks was a civil rights activist (civil rights activist - a leader of the political movement dedicated to securing equal opportunity for members of minority groups.) Who didn’t give up her seat to a white person on a segregated bus in Montgomery, alabama. Her defiance sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott.  Its success launched nationwide efforts to end racial segregation of public facilities.

In her own words, if I did not resist being mistreated … I would be mistreated. She died on october 24, 2005 at age 92. Called "the mother of the civil rights movement," Rosa Parks gave life to the struggle for racial equality when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama. Parks' arrest on December 1, 1955 launched the Montgomery Bus Boycott by 17,000 black citizens.What is a boycott you might ask? A boycott is an act of nonviolent, voluntary and avoidance. (an instance of declining to vote for or against a proposal.

What is a boycott you might ask? A boycott is an act of nonviolent, voluntary and avoidance. (an instance of declining to vote for or against a proposal or motion). From using, buying, or dealing with a person, organization, or country as an expression of protest, usually for moral, social, political, or environmental reasons.

Could you imagine a world where black people can’t even drink out of the same water fountain. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a black female. She was arrested in Montgomery. For refusing to give up her bus seat so that white passengers could sit in it. ... Following a November 1956 ruling by the Supreme Court that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional. The bus boycott ended successfully.

The U.S. Supreme Court decided that it was unfair, and black people in Montgomery were allowed to sit in any bus seat. That victory led to many other challenges to laws in the United States. Parks became a hero of those fighting for racial equality. Do you think your life could be better than that time?

Covid-19 learning

Learning from home was very spiritless and boring some days because it took a lot longer!

I couldn't get used to the class site. It didn't feel right to work next to my siblings.

I seemed to get distracted very easily.

I cherished being in my own environment and being able to snuggle with my dog while working.

Google meets were very entertaining especially on fancy Fridays.
I hated not being able to see KT, KN and all my friends. I loved lying in the sun while doing school.
Some of the activities we did was anzac biscuits, model (toilet roll), leaf print art and poem.

Drain Art

I was at assembly, the teachers were talking to Wainui Beach School about discovery. They said there is a new activity for discovery, drain art. I was delighted that there was more art in discovery. Koka Rachel and Koka Joe had a big talk about what drain art is about. Drain art is a piece of art with a little message to tell people not to drop junk down the drains. I thought this was a great idea. If you see rain water drains you probably wouldn't think it is a rainwater drain, you would think it is a place to put your junk.

We got a scrap piece of paper and did our draft on there. My design was the sea and poking out of the sea was a whale tail, there is a little message at the top that says don't be mean keep it clean in cursive writing and a sunset as the background. I worked by my friends Kayla, Lola and Kale'a. I kept second guessing myself by going, is this the best idea is this a bad idea is this a good idea.

I checked my design with Koka Rachel. She gave me a piece of paper to write about how it will get people to not drop junk in rain water drains. She photo copied my art gave me one and took a picture of the other and sent that to the people. I went outside to do another activity because I finished my art. I was looking forward to a nice day at school and a delightful weekend.

Swimming Sports!

My heart was beating hard and butterflies were fluttering around my stomach. I had to do the demo. I dived in and swam as hard as I could. I was in heat 1, I swam 2 lengths freestyle. Crazily I won. I focused on winning the backstroke heat. I love how I won that as well. We did not have much of a rest between our race only like 5 minutes or so. It was time for breaststroke I raced and wanted to win that one the because that is my favorite stroke. I am so thankful that I won because now I get to get into the final for all my heats.

BEEP went the buzzer I dive in the pool hoping I can go to interschools. I got a lot of water up my nose. It felt like my nose was on fire. My hands were swishing through the water. The water was really warm. I didn't want to face Lola because she is really good at swimming so is Klara but guess what I am facing both of them in freestyle. I am really satisfied that I won the final for freestyle and breaststroke. The other Charlotte won backstroke I came second.

now it's Time to get dressed I ran to the changing room to get changed.

I got changed and went outside I squeezed my hair out and by accident it went all over my sweatshirt.

I ate some salt and vinegar chips put my lunch box away and We got on the bus and left back to school.
