Bonus Activity: Crossing the Tasman

Back in 1928, a crew flew of four men ,for the first time in there life across Tasman from Australia to New Zealand. One of the men on board in the southern cross airport was a New Zealander named T.H. McWilliams. Williams' job was to operate the radio at the airport but the radio had stopped working as the weather was really bad the time which had caused this to happen. After take-off the rain and ice were so heavy that the pilot , Kingford Smith , could not see anything which made it hard for him to fly the plane in the right directions. Luckily they made it through the poor weather and safely landed after a 14 hr trip to Christchurch.


If I was on was one of those four men I would
have never anted to go on that plane.Here a
Poem I route about what I would if I was on that
plane.

Poem

Imagine me
soaring through the sky 
that's where i'd rather be
white clouds, deep blue sea,
that's what i'll see
flying a plane it sounds hard to do
but once you get use to it 
it'll be easy peasy
trust me.

The Lion cage.The Lion cage is a olden day movie. It is about a men name Charlie
Chaplin who got chase from a donkey .This movie is a silent films so that means you
can not hear them talk you can only hear music.I don’t like Silent films because you

Of the turn of the century ,New Zealand elected its first Government.Richard John Seddon served leader of the Liberal party from 1893-1906.Prior to 1839,only one men was allow to vote .But This all change in 1800s when a Women called Kate Kate Sheppard lead to a suffragist movement in New Zealand calling for a change in the law.Her amazing work finally paid off when a the Electoral Act was passed in the law on 19th September 1893, Women has the right to vote.New Zealand First to give all women the right.There are still countries around the world (e.g. Saudi Arabia) who,But recently,women were not allow to vote anymore.

   What I think about Saudi Arabia women not allowing to vote 
The fact that women that lived in Saudi Arabia couldn't vote is so unfair.Women should also be allow to vote.It is so bad for Women to not vote and men could vote.But when it came to 2015 women was allow to vote again.Now women are free to vote for any elections now and that is amazing.

Day 5: The Dawn of a New Era…
From the 1840s forward many European settlers came to Conscious in New Zealand. It was a difficult period in New Zealand’s history. As the settlers began to outnumber the Māori, a great war appeared between the two groups as they fought for access to land to make homes and establish communities.


Activity 1: Translating Phrases
It is unalike that Māori, many of the European settlers didn’t speak Te Reo Māori. They rather, spoke English. As you can imagine, it was very difficult for the two groups to keep in touch because they did not have a dictionary or a translator. These days we are able to use the Internet to translate words and phrases from one language to another.


Phrases:

  1. Nau mai ki Aotearoa mean Welcome to New Zealand in English
  2. ____ is my name.
  3. What is your name mean He aha to ingo in Maori
  4. He pai taku ki te takaro i te whutupaoro mean I like to play rugby in English 
  5. Where do you come from mean No hea koe?
