Fundraising for those in need

If you find any families in need, maybe try and fundraise money for them!

Stress

In NZ lots of people had lost their jobs. Families were put under so many stress. Still many people are stressed. When I'm stressed, I relax on the couch for a few minutes just to get everything off my mind. I sometimes watch TV while I'm there. It's a bit sad that lots of people lost their jobs. I wouldn't like it if I lost my job. Did you know that stress can affect your body?  It can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, chest pain and a irregular heartbeat. That would make me feel sad for all those families who were under so many stress.

Art Deco

Art Deco was started in 1920. If I could rate this painting from 1 to 5, I would give it a 5. The reason I am giving it a 5 is because I think it's a really nice painting and it's really detailed. It looks like the car is real. Tamara did really well with her self portrait, I wish I could paint like that.

Silent Films?

There are silent films such as The Gold Rush. I watched the trailer, and they are completely silent! Even in the real film, there's only music playing in the background. The film was called, 'The Gold Rush - Roll Dance.' It had a man at the table with some people. Then he grabbed a fork and stuck it into something, then he did the same with another fork. He pretended the forks were legs and the things at the end were shoes! he started making them do a little dance. He made the legs go to the side, made them kick up, do the splits, it was so silly. He also pretended his head was the head for the legs he made. After that, he faints, and then it skips forward and his head is on the table and nobody is there. I think I'd watch a silent film, they are actually quite funny.

The end.

Flanders Fields (Bonus)

I love the poem Flanders Fields. John McCrae did a really great job writing it! It makes me feel a bit sad for those who died in the war. My favourite sentence in the poem is 'We lived; felt dawn, saw sunset glow.'  I can imagine the whole poem like a movie scene in motion. It's sad knowing that lots of people died, if I was related to one and I heard the died, I would be really sad.

Allowing Women to Vote In Saudi Arabia

I don't think it's fair that those women in Saudi Arabia wanted to vote, but couldn't until 2015! That  must've been a long wait, since NZ was the first country to allow women to vote. They should be voting if they want. Maybe the women didn't like who won the election. I think they should've got the right to vote earlier, because the whole of Saudi Arabia should get a better country, not just the men who live there. Like I said before, the women might not like who won the election, so they wouldn't get a better country. That's why I think it's not fair that the women of Saudi Arabia had to wait a long time to get the right to vote.

The end.

St Patrick's Cathedral

This is St Patrick's cathedral. It's located in Auckland, 43 Wyndham St. They started building it in1841 and finished in 2007, if your counting the restoration project.
