Day 2: The Roaring 20’s (The 1920s)

Activity 1: Popular Culture – The Silent Movie

The 1920s saw a massive surge in the number of people going to the movies.

Huge new cinemas were built in both Auckland

(The Civic Theatre) and Dunedin (Empire De Luxe).  

The most popular type of movies showing at local NZ cinemas were ‘silent’ films.

Gold Rush is an example of an iconic silent film.

It features a famous actor named Charlie Chaplin.

Watch the trailer for Gold Rush. On your blog, 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?

Do you think you would enjoy watching a silent film?

Yea what will go wrong sometimes

i like silent movies  because they get interesting

i love the trailer it was cool and interesting.

Why?

Why did tramp keep on hurting himself and he went to the door and hurt
hus ford head and because he was scared of the things like the bear and he had fear
in himself.

Activity 2: Art Deco

In the 1920s a new artistic movement emerged in New Zealand (and around the world).

It was called ‘Art Deco.’

The picture to the right is a classic example of an ‘Art Deco’ piece. Take a close look at the painting.

Do you like it?

I do like it

On your blog, give the painting a rating out of 5 stars

(1 star = terrible painting, 2 stars = pretty bad painting,

3 stars = okay painting, 4 stars = good painting and

5 stars = amazing painting). After you’ve rated the painting out of 5, tell us why you gave it that rating.

5 stars = amazing painting

Because i  choose it because  when i  look closer it pop up  out of my head

whoever did this they were creative and artistic.

Bonus Activity: Crossing the Tasman

In 1928, a crew of four men flew, for the first time, across the Tasman from Australia to New Zealand.

One of the men on board the Southern Cross airplane was a New Zealander named
T.H. McWilliams. His job was to operate the radio in the airplane.

Unfortunately, the radio stopped working shortly after take-off and

the rain and ice were so heavy that the pilot,

Kingsford Smith,

couldn’t see out of his front windscreen. Yikes! Fortunately,

the plane made it all the way across the Tasman landing

in Christchurch after a 14 hour trip.

Imagine that you were a member of the flight crew.

Write a poem that describes how you would have felt

when you landed safely in Christchurch after such a long trip.

Remember, there are lots of different types of poems,

and they don’t all have to rhyme.

You can read more about different types of poems by clicking here.

When i landed The sky is  the blue the sky is blue

When i hope out  

i was dizzy i felt so scary

That i was going to fade

that be found in the Hawke’s Bay region of New Zealand.

Day 1: The Early Years (Late 1800s – 1919)

At the turn of the century, there was a great deal of construction happening in New
Zealand.
Many of the new British settlers wanted to build homes and community meeting places,
such as churches. One of the largest buildings to be constructed during this period
was St Joseph’s Cathedral in Dunedin.

St Joseph’s Cathedral is just one of hundreds of beautiful cathedrals around the world.

Use your search engine to find a picture of another famous cathedral. Post a picture
of the cathedral on your blog. Underneath the picture tell us: the name of the cathedral,
where the cathedral is located, when it was built, and how long it took to build.

The name of the cathedrals : exeter cathedrals

Where the cathedral located : united kingdom

When it was built : 1050

How long it took build:  900 years

        Activity 2: The Right to Vote

At the turn of the century, New Zealand elected its first ever government.
Richard John Seddon served as the leader of the Liberal Party from 1893-1906.
Prior to 1893, only men were legally allowed to vote.
This all changed in the late 1800s

when a woman named Kate Sheppard lead a suffragist movement
in New Zealand calling for a change in law. Her hard work finally paid off
when the Electoral Act was passed into law on 19 September 1893, giving women
the right to vote. New Zealand was the first country to give all women the right to vote.
There were still countries in the world (e.g. Saudi Arabia) who, until recently, did not allow
women to vote.

On your blog tell us what you think about the fact that women were not allowed to
vote in Saudi Arabia until 2015. Is it fair? Why or why not?

Fact that women were not allowed to vote in saudi arabia until 2015. Is it far?

1. Yes it was far

2. Saudi Arabia, which for centuries treated women as second-class citizens —
3. not permitting them to be seen in public, for example, except for their eyes, and prohibiting
4. them from  seeing.

3. Women should have the right to vote it’s not fair if the mans just vote what will happen
4. if just the women voted but not the mens that could be sad but in new zealand everyone
5. had the right to vote except for the kids but men and women they voted and the was good
6. but in the other countries they didn't let women to vote how sad.

!!!!!!Bonus Activity: In Flanders Fields!!!!!!!!

 

As the new century dawned, New Zealanders settled into a period of relative calm.
The calm lasted for about 15 years but came to a sudden end in 1914 when World War I erupted
in Europe. The war lasted for almost five years and claimed the lives of 18,000 New Zealanders.

It also claimed the lives of thousands of men and women from countries around the world. Every year, we remember these brave men and women on ANZAC Day (25 April). Many people go to a special Anzac Day ceremony where they read a special poem that was written for the fallen soldiers. The poem is called ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McCrae.

Read the poem. On your blog, tell us what you think of the poem. Do you like it?
How does it make you feel?

That poem thinks of my great great grandfather  he went to war and he pass away
at war and i’m very lucky i stay in new zealand because i’m safe and sound and
i feel so sorry about their families i feel sorry about somebody that left there familie to go to
war and they didn't make it that was so sad.

It makes me feel very lucky to live in a beautiful, safe country like New Zealand.

It also makes me feel sad for those who died in the war and for their families. I think that we are very
lucky that they went to war and fought for our freedom. What do you think?

It good comment and new zealand is a safe place to stay

Activity 1: The First Settlers

It is widely believed that the first people to arrive in New Zealand came from Polynesia.
Most historians believe that they landed in New Zealand over 700 years ago.
Although they were originally from many different countries, these settlers learned to
live together and, eventually, formed their own distinct culture known as ‘Māori.’
 Māori have their own language, traditions, and culture.

Activity 2: Setting Sail

The first settlers to come to New Zealand must have been really brave!
They had to leave their original homes and sail thousands of miles across
the ocean on a special boat called a ‘waka’ to reach New Zealand

letter for the loved ones link

           Bonus Activity: Waka Ama

To this day, the people of New Zealand still use waka. Instead of using their waka to
transport them from one place to another, they sometimes use waka in special events
and in sporting competitions such as Waka Ama. Both boys and girls compete
in Waka Ama boat races.

Watch this short video of a Waka Ama race.
On your blog tell us whether you would like to be in a Waka Ama race one day. Why or why not?
