Review : 
I really love this book even though it has a sad ending but some how it's very entertaining to read/watch. I really recommend this book and I rate this 10/10.

Bruno is the eight-year-old son of the commandant at a concentration camp during WWII. His friendship with a Jewish boy he meets across the fence. Though the barbed-wire fence of the camp separates them, the boys begin a forbidden friendship, oblivious to the real nature of their surroundings.

#Week 2 Day 3 Activity 2: The Right to an Education

For this activity, we would like you like you to write a short story. The story can be about anything that you wish but to receive full points it must be at least 10 sentences long!

On your blog, share your short story. We can’t wait to read it!

Story :

As I walked through the loud city dragging my bag while the street light turn from colours to colours, I hear my phone ringing so I picked it up and it was from my mum she said " I love you" and I told her that I loved her more. While she was talking to me it sounded like she was crying I didn't notice that tears were running down my face so I asked where she was now and she said at the hospital, Hearing this got me scared and made my eyes bawl even more.

When Running to the hospital bad thoughts coming in and I didn't want to believe it so I ran 10 times harder and as I approached the door to the hospital I saw my mum talking to a doctor but she was crying. I ran to her and asked whats going on and she told me that she was diagnosed with cancer and she doesn't have long to live hearing this my heart dropped, I hugged her very tightly and we were both crying together so I told her that tomorrow we will do everything she wants to do.

The next day I woke up ran to the hospital all dressed still sad and heart broken but I put on a bright big smile for my mum, When I arrived I ran to her room but a lot of doctors were coming out of there and told me that my mum died an hour ago I didn't know how to react to this but just cried and cried outside of her room because I didn't want to my mum like that.

#Week 2 DAY 3: WOMEN’S RIGHTS

Activity 1: The Right to Vote:

For this activity, let’s imagine that the government decides to create a new $10 bank note and replace Kate with a picture of a different New Zealand woman.

On your blog, tell us who you think the government should put on the new $10 note. Please provide us with a picture of this amazing woman and a short explanation of why you have selected her as Kate Sheppard’s replacement.

I think we should put Dame Whina cooper on the $10 note. Why did I choose her ? it's because she dedicated her whole life fighting for Maori land rights and to how Maori women are treated.  As the daughter of the tribal chief Heremia Te Wake, Cooper was a highly visible leader. At age 18 she led her first protest--concerning the draining of a local swamp.

Her story is very inspirational because it tells us young people to stand up for what is right instead of sitting back and watch what is happening.

#Week 2 Day 1 Activity 3: “I Have a Dream”

For this activity, please consider the problem that black men and women faced in America at this time.

On your blog, describe the problem. What did Rosa Parks do about the problem? How did other people react?

Rosa Parks story started when she was just in the bus and she was told by the bus driver to hop off the chair so that a white person can sit on it, and you what she did she refused because she was sick and tired of her people getting treated like this just because they ain't white. When this happened she was sent to jail and fined for breaking segregation laws! but Rosa refused and argued,That the law was wrong not her behaviour.

#Week 2 Day 1 Activity 2: School Strike for Climate

For this activity, we would like you to explore the School Strike for Climate Australia website.

On your blog, list three facts (things) that you learned, and include a photograph of something that you are doing around home to help the environment.

1.) The coal is destroying our environment 

2.) We should stop using Oil, Gas & other dangerous liquids that destroy our environment.

3.) These people are telling us this because they are trying to tell the government to take this seriously & what is ahead of us.

To help the environment my Sunday school and I go pick up rubbish anywhere here in Auckland because we see a lot of rubbish that gets blown away in the sea and that is killing out sea creatures.

#Week 2 DAY 2: TAKING ACTION

For this activity, please imagine that you are Mr Mandela and that you are living at Robben Island prison. You have been given a journal and each night you write in it.

On your blog, write a journal entry imagining that you are Mr Mandela. What do you think he did each day? How did he feel? Include as much detail as you can in the journal entry.

Dear to whoever reads this,

It's another night in this prison it gets colder by the night falls my toes feeling very numb and very icy cold. Today was the same old just thinking of the day I get out and why people have to be so cruel to each other and can't just get along with each other peacefully . I hope whoever reads this can make a difference in the world and not sit around and watch. I'm not a lonely person even though I sound like one but I get a visitor but at leased I know they still care to come visit me here in this prison. After I get out of this place I for sure will make a difference not just for me but for the whole world.
