Day 1
Activity 1 - Use your search engine to find a picture of another famous cathedral. Post a picture of the cathedral on your blog. Underneath the picture tell us: the name of the cathedral, where the cathedral is located, when it was built, and how long it took to build.
Name - St Paul's Cathedral
Location - London, Ludgate Hill
Construction of this building started in 1675.
It took 40 years to build
Activity 2 - On your blog tell us what you think about the fact that women were not allowed to vote in Saudi Arabia until 2015. Is it fair? Why or why not?
I think that women should have been allowed to vote ages ago! It is not fair if men get the first say on everything! I really am happy that women can vote now, though. But it took a while for the women's judgments to be approved!
Bonus Activity - As the new century dawned, New Zealanders settled into a period of relative calm. The calm lasted for about 15 years but came to a sudden end in 1914 when World War I erupted in Europe. The war lasted for almost five years and claimed the lives of 18,000 New Zealanders. It also claimed the lives of thousands of men and women from countries around the world. Every year, we remember these brave men and women on ANZAC Day (25 April). Many people go to a special Anzac Day ceremony where they read a special poem that was written for the fallen soldiers. The poem is called ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McCrae. Read the poem. On your blog, tell us what you think of the poem. Do you like it? How does it make you feel? It makes me feel very lucky to live in a beautiful, safe country like New Zealand. It also makes me feel sad for those who died in the war and for their families. I think that we are very lucky that they went to war and fought for our freedom. What do you think?
I like the poem and the aim of it. It is very satisfying and describes what went on. I feel sad and sorry for all of those dead soldiers who risked their lives for their countries. But I also feel proud that people lived and died for us, and glad that we celebrate this.

Hey Jazire

Hope you have a merry christmas and a happy new year.
Hey Jarzie
What a fantastic effort that you have put into this activity. THe cathedral that you have picked was outstanding. Why did you pick the St Paul's Cathedral?
Hi Jazire,
Ruby here from the Summer Learning Journey team. It's great to see that you've been continuing with these activities. Well done!
Activity 1: St Paul's is an amazing cathedral! I was lucky enough to visit this cathedral when I was in London a couple of years ago and it is incredible. It would be great if you could add a picture so that all the people reading your blog can see what the cathedral looks like.
Why do you think it took them such a long time to build it?
Activity 2: It certainly did take a while! Women are people and should be treated as every other person, I think. How does it make you feel that New Zealand was the first place to let women vote?
Bonus activity: Good work. The poem is very sad and yet very likeable. A lot of people lost family and friends during the war. How do you think they would feel when they read the poem?
I look forward to reading more of your blog over the summer.
Cheers,
Ruby.
