Teaser Week || Day 4 Activity 1-3

 Thursday 12th December 

Activity 1: Leading the Charge
Helen Clark was the first woman to be elected as the Prime Minister (PM) of New Zealand (NZ). She served as PM for nine years (1999 to 2008). During this time, she introduced a number of new policies and fought to ensure that New Zealand continued to be nuclear-free. In 2008, Helen Clark was defeated by Sir John Key in the national election. Mr Key went on to serve as PM of New Zealand from 2008 - 2016.
Before entering politics, Helen Clark lived on a farm near Hamilton. She became interested in politics while she was a teenager, and went on to study politics at the University of Auckland. After completing a lengthy career in politics in New Zealand, Ms Clark moved overseas to take on the job as Head of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). She was the first woman to ever lead this international organisation. As the head of the UNDP, Helen made a number of important changes to the way things operated within the UNDP.
My Changes ~

~ I would not allow packaged food,
~ It would be just a Intermediate 
~ They would only be aloud to be wearing sports shoes NO UNCOVERED SHOES!!!
Mahatma Gandhi was an activist best known for his role in helping India become an independent country in 1947. Prior to this, India was under British rule. During the fight to become free from England, Gandhi (and others) led peaceful protests, marches, and hunger strikes in India. His birthday (2nd October) is widely celebrated in India as the International Day of Nonviolence.
Gandhi originally studied to be a lawyer in London, England. When he completed his studies, he got a job in South Africa where he saw that people were treated differently because of their skin colour. He thought this was unfair and wrong, and so he organised protests to highlight the rights of Indians living in South Africa.
Gandhi impacted the world by using non-violent protest to bring about change. Recently, school students around the world have followed his lead and participated in peaceful protests about climate change. These were started by a girl called Greta Thunberg who, like Gandhi, is using nonviolent protest to try and make a change.
My thinking ~
I would Protest for Non~Violence In New Zealand/My Countrie! I would change how we treat the environment like change everything plastic to like maybe metal or a different type of material!

Activity 3: Mass Migration
The current President of the United States of America (U.S.A.) is a man named Donald Trump. He was elected President in 2016. At the time, he promised the American people that he would build a wall between the U.S.A. and Mexico - the country immediately south of the United States. He made this promise because he wanted to stop people from crossing the American-Mexican border.
Earlier this year, a migrant caravan (people moving in a large group) came through South and Central America on its way to the Mexican-American border. The people in the caravan were heading to America to find jobs and build a better life for themselves and their families. You can learn more about them in this video.
Donald Trump’s plan to build the wall is very controversial (some people strongly agree with his idea and others strongly disagree). 
My explanation ~ 
I strongly DISAGREE that he should put a wall between Mexico and USA! I strongly disagree because for me it's just Racist I don't know why Donald Trump would think of doing this how Cruel of Donald Trump to do this!!!
