Learning about Kate Sheppard – Leading the Way for Woman

For a long time in New Zealand, only men were allowed to vote  No matter how smart, rich, or hardworking they were, they had no say.  In 1893 Kate Sheppard managed to get parliament’s approval for woman to have the right to vote.  

During week 6, we have learnt about this iconic character and the important role she has played in history.  Part of our learning, LS1 students had to make a character profile of Kate Sheppard, this is some of the amazing work that has been completed.

LS1: the jandal throw

Today we watched a past film festival fil from the amazing LS1! We focused on the theme, which was preserving. Below is our reply.

Tēnā koe LS1, its Matua Peter. This is awesome! The way you have made the this film was amazing. The theme of perseverance was carefully explained by the use of dialogue, camera shots and the soundtrack. Also it was very funny. How long did it take to make?

Quality comments extra practice

Today, we focused on practising our commenting skills. We learnt that our comments need to start with a greeting, introduction and either a thoughtful or helpful comment too. We know that we don’t have to all of the elements to make a great comment. A helpful hint is to draft the comment before you post them.
