Maraia, Vili, Alfonsus - Dawn Raids Activity

Today in class we learnt about the Dawn raids because it was in New Zealand and apart of our history and we found out that three days ago on August 1st  there was an apology for the Dawn Raids and Jacinda Ardern our Prime minister did a speech and there were different types of performances but with cultures.

The Dawn raids started because the Labour Government faced an economic turn down and New Zealand people noticed that they weren't getting a lot of money so they said that they need to fire people because they weren't getting money. But when the people noticed they didn't have enough to pay their bills so they got angry and said that the Polynesian's were taking and stealing their jobs, and if you were brown you would randomly get stopped in church or even in the streets.

Maraia - Okahu Bay

 Okahu Bay

Today at home I wrote a bit about Okahu Bay, basically a DLO. If you don't know what a DLO is, well it is a google drawing with some key words,pictures, and information about what you are write about. I did my DLO on Okahu Bay because a few weeks ago we went sailing at Okahu Bay, and learnt how to set  up a sailing boat and thing you need to do when sailing. One thing that we found out when we got there was that the school didn't pay for the sailing trip becasue, we were choosen by St. Johns Rotary Club, and they had paid for our trip.

Check out my activity!
