Week 2 Day 2 Part 2

Activity 2: Art Deco

I rate this painting 4 out of 5 stars.  

It is a good painting.

I gave it this rating because I think the picture is well drawn and not scribbly.  It isn't rushed and I can see a woman driving a car.  

Week 2 Day 2 Part 1

Tell us what you think the movie is about. There are no words spoken movie so you will need to pay careful attention to what the actors are doing! Do you think you would enjoy watching a silent film? Why/Why not?

I watched Lion cage. I think the movie was about somebody who was getting chased by a donkey and then ran into a cage and then he got stuck in the cage with a lion. Then when he tried to open the door from the other side by putting his hand through the bars he knocked down a wooden bar and locked himself in.

I don't think I would enjoy watching a silent movie because it would be hard to understand what they were doing.

Week 2 Day 1 Part 2

What I 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 it is not fair that women could not vote. It is because if only the men were allowed to vote that means they would only vote for men and women would not have an opinion.  I think that is unfair because everybody's vote matters.

Day 4 Part 2

My game is called Ball Catch.

The aim of the game is to throw a ball at a wall or board and catch it when it bounces back to you.
Over and over again until you can't catch it anymore.

Two rules of the game would be that you have to stand in a marked square or circle box on the ground and the ball is only allowed to bounce once before you catch it.
You have to move a step backwards every time you catch it and if you miss catching it you are out and it's the next persons turn.

Day 4 Part 1

Setting sail

Dear Aedan [my brother]

I have just boarded the waka and we have just set sail.  It will be a long trip to New Zealand to celebrate your birthday.   I am feeling worried that the weather will be bad and make the waka turn over and I might die.  I hope it doesn't rain as I don't want to get too wet. 
See you soon, 

From Hamish

Maui
