Intro: 

Kate Sheppard was a famous protester who  fought for the rights of women. She was born in 1847 in Liverpool, England but later in life she had to moved to New Zealand with her family. She died at the age of 87 on  13th of July 1934.

1st Paragraph:

Kate Sheppard protested for a reason, she did it because she believed that women should be allowed to play a full role in society. During Kate Sheppard’s time women were not allowed to vote and their rules were very restricted. Some rules that were hold against the women was that they couldn't sell their land/property, need consent from her father or husband to open a bank account and couldn't vote. She fought and fought until she saw the equal treatment the people give to men as well as the women. 

2nd Paragraph:

Before the petition, Kate Sheppard did many other things to help with her up-coming women’s rights protest. She travelled throughout New Zealand, holding public meetings and building support for the cause.Kate Sheppard was a great organizer and she began collecting signatures for the petition that was going to be presented at the New Zealand Parliament. Unfortunately the first petition failed in 1891 but this never stop Kate, she got back up, started again and collected more signatures.

3rd Paragraph:

On 1893 on her third try was her third petition. Kate Sheppard convinced a total of 32,000 people. This final petition was very successful which means that women were finally allowed to vote. Without any of these happening NZ women would have never voted at the beginning. Now New Zealand is the first place that women were first to vote.

Conclusion:

In conclusion Kate sheppard has made history for women in New Zealand.

Without the hard work Kate Sheppard did during the petition women would

never have been treated equally. Now women are finally allowed to vote

and do stuff men do. “We are tired of having a ‘sphere’ doled out to us, and

of being told that anything outside that sphere is ‘unwomanly’.”

- Kater Sheppard.

Multiplication Magic o.2

 

Task Description: Our 2nd Maths Task for this week is Called "Multiplication Magic 0.2". This Task focused on our Multiplication skills  I find Multiplication easy by using  1 digit numbers but with 2 digit numbers, this was quite the challenge.  Luckily this video taught me a much easier strategy that helps me work on multiplying 2 digit numbers very quickly and easily. Now I'm more comfortable solving any Multiplication problem with a new strategy.

Multiples & Factors

 

Walt: Identify the of Multiples & Factors out of different Numbers!  

Task Description: Today in our Maths Lesson with Mrs Stone, we have just had a Maths Google Meet for today, as we are aware as it is still Level 3 Lock-down. Our Maths Task today was a recap on our knowledge on Multiples and Factors.

 1. Multiples = Multiples are like the times tables (they are the product of a multiplication sum). 

 2. Factors = The factors of a number are the numbers that multiply together to make it. 

So we had to identify the multiples & Factors from the different numbers that were given.

Why do we need school?

 

Why do we need school?

Introduction:

Have you ever wondered why students have to go to school everyday? Firstly, school is the place of education and socialisation, there are many countries that have laws that is compulsory for students to attend school.Well, think for a moment while these thoughts run through your head on why school is important to attend to everyday. 

Body paragraph 1:

School is a place for students to learn. Learning is the key to unlock the minds of each student so that they can push themselves to do better in their school academics. Without learning the mind can’t do stuff like thinking and working, but with subjects in school it will improve each one of us in different ways of learning which will help us later in life. Learning at school you’ll be able to do many things that link to school academics.

Body paragraph 2:

School helps you to get a great job. Not only does school help you in learning but it also helps you to get the qualification of a job that you seem interested in. For example if you dream about being a doctor later in life you could take the subjects that require to be a doctor like science. Subjects don’t only require to get into jobs but also life choices like learning to be on time, respect the people around you and listening to the person in charge.

Body paragraph 3:

School gives us a chance to socialise with other people. The real reasons why students love coming to school because all their mates are there. Even if your new to the school there are always people that love socialising with you. In school they also practice team building skills so that you can work together as a team. Not only do you work together but you could become friends with your team. 

Conclusion:

In conclusion school is really important to have in our society because school could change any life of a student, without it there wouldn’t be any sense in life. School is important because we learn, get a job and socialise.
