For this task I had to imagine that I am visiting on the national holiday of my chosen country (Australia). I have to blog about what I would eat, see and do on that day. I would eat steak and chips, I would see festivals, concerts or parties and lots of people since everyone has the day off and I would probably participate in the festivals, concerts or parties.

For this activity I had to go onto this Gallipolli website which will give me information about the Gallipolli - The Scale of the war. Link to the --->site<---. Then I would have to post 3 things I learned from that site.

1. Women were protesters against the war which they called barbarism they wanted to stop the war that was happening.

2. Some of the soldiers wanted to be on the front lines but didn't get a chance. So they made a plea to fight. They wanted to show their metal (worth of fighting) on the front lines instead of being garrisoned. They said they would sooner die from the bullets of the enemy than die from sickness and disease.

3. The NZ medical corps were made up of surgeons, doctors, stretcher-bearers and orderlies who were all trained to care for the sick and wounded soldiers.

Summer learning journey week 3 day 15 Activity 2

For this task I had to think about being alive 100 years ago and where children left school at the age of 12/13 and went to work. I have to say whether I would be sad or happy to leave school at the age of 12/13. I would be quite upset to leave school and go to work at the age of 12 since that would be a lot of work and usually during those times I would usually be doing manual labor so I guess I would be upset if I had to leave school at the age of 12/13

For this activity I walk into a gallery and the first piece of artwork I see is Swinging by Wassily Kandinsky.

http://www.wassilykandinsky.net/work-251.phpWhile I am looking at it a staff member comes and asks me what my opinion on the painting is. This activity asks what I think of the painting and if I could buy it and give it to someone who would I give it to.

I would say that is creative, imaginative and it contains lots of different features.

If I could buy this painting and give it to someone I would say Te Paki since he draws more often than most people I know so I would give it to him.

For this task I had to decide whether or not I would want to be prime minister of NZ. Being prime minister is a big responsibility even if you had advantages where others don't like traveling to other countries while paying less. If I was a prime minister I would have lots of busy interviews or other things prime ministers would have to do. I would be really tired and I might have a huge crowd following me recording my life, therefore my answer is no.

For this task I had to find 3 facts about Hillary Clinton. These are the 3 facts I have chosen.

1. When she was asked what attracted her to Bill Clinton she said: "He wasn't afraid of me".

2. Some Biographers and observers have suspicions that Hillary and Bill Clinton marriage was and is based on revolutionizing the democratic party and secure the presidency for Bill rather than for love.

3. In one of Hillary's first trails before a jury she represented a canning company that someone had sued claiming to finding the rear end of a rat in a can even though she won teh case she beccame the butt of her husband's jokes for years over what he called her: "rat's ass" case.
