Nelson Mandela

In the 1990’s was Nelson Mandela’s release from prison on Robben Island in South Africa is where he was serving a life sentence. An international campaign had lobbied for his release, which was granted in 1990. After becoming President, Nelson Mandela led negotiations with President F.W. de Klerk establish multiracial elections in 1994, in which he led the ANC to victory.

Mandela was a kind and generous man and he didn’t believe in that black and white people should be treated separately or differently. He was a person who persecuted his dreams and wishes, Mandela had a courageous soul and heart and he cared for everyone even the people that imprisoned him for twentyseven years and one of his quotes were “I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.”

He was a humble man and loved helping people in need. He grew up with his two sisters in a small village named Mvezo in Umtatu. Nelson Mandela was born on the 18 of July 1918. Mandela met Evelyn Mase, an African National Congress activist from Engcobo and got to socialise with other people on an equal basis.

At the time he was doing some training to become a nurse. He was Married on the 5 of October    in the year 1944, he lived with his family, they rented a house in Orlando in the early 1946. Thats when Nelson Mandela became a founding member of the African National Congress Youth League.

The three things I enjoyed at Pt England

Recently, the year 7 and 8's of P.E.S went down to the Glen Innes Pools to do some swimming lessons. I was in Group 2 and we did a lot of backstroke and freestyle. I enjoyed the last day because we had free time in one pool and races in the other. Even though I wanted to do relays I did freetime with my friends I still enjoyed it though.

At Manaiakalani Film Festival I was going to hoyts cinema in Sylvia Park and was able to watch a little bit of funny and different kinds of movies. “I wonder what my favorite movie will be?” I thought to myself, I knew it would be a good day today.

My favourite highlight of this year is probable being in Miss Tito’s class and making new friends and connection with everyone in Room 19. The thing I like about in Room 19 is that everybody cooperates even though they don’t want to.

200 Migrant Workers Saved

There a was a boat emergency just off the coast of North Africa they were going to Tunisia, there were probably more than 200-300 people on the boat before it capsized. Most of the people on board the boat were Syrian and Palestinian, 200 people were pulled to safety but what was said that 30 people died in the capsize.

On one of the weeks more than 300 African refugees were on a boat when it capsized and they all died near an island in Italy of Lampedusa. It was a tragedy for a lot of people on that day family members died on that boat. It is really sad that the people died from a boat especially when 2 weeks in a row it happened.

There were lots of calls for the European Union to do more to stop the migrants happening and risking people’s live to sail to Europe. I think Migrants shouldn’t happen in the first place anyway they should stop this immediately. Everyone that sails to Europe will die from sinking or will make it over there safely.

Day at White sunday

This morning we had 40 minutes to write about anything we wanted. From this we are going to set our writing goals for the term. Here is what I wrote.

White Sunday was the best fun I have had out of my whole holidays. I went with my aunties and brothers to the church. We got to the church and already there were lots of people there we almost got mistaken to be kids performing in the event. Luckily our aunty did not know where we were so she checked in the waiting room for the performers and there we were sitting. we were walking to our seats when we bumped into my other aunt.

We got to the front row seats and were waiting for the event to start by the time it started I was really hungry. It was 8:47 and the singing and plays commenced at 9:00 it was also funny because everyone was quiet and only the piano was playing. Then all you could here was “BONG” the white Sunday event was ready to start. All the families were cheering and yelling it was really cool how they could encourage other peoples kids.

I was there for my three cousins Raewen, Rowana and Kruz they were in lots of the church groups. I was surprised that how many groups they were in, it was shocking actually I was proud of them. I loved the little kids they had a Gangnam style at the end of their dance it was cute some of them did the wrong actions or were facing the wrong way. It was very really cute.

Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks was waiting for the bus at the bus stop after a hard day at work.The bus finally arrived. Rosa dragged her aching body up the bus stairs and handed over 10 cents. She sat in the black section of the bus at the back.

Then a white person came and told Rosa to move out of her chair because black people have to move for white people if there are no more seats in the black section even if it means they have to leave the bus. It is pretty sad that the black people had to move for the white people or the black person goes to jail if they don't obey the laws.

Rosa asked to stay because she was tired and old, but the man still said move.Rosa refused so the white person signaled the driver to tell her to move so she waved to a couple of cops she got arrested. Black people took notice and boycotted the bus service. They started their own black taxi company and black people that had cars pick up friends. The black taxi company only charged 10 cents to go anywhere they want.then any black taxi driver caught charging 10 cents would be fired. they have to charge 45 cents. Then the bus service had to live without the black people riding the local bus for a year. Then some of the M.i.a got together to discuss what they have to do . they came to a decision to make segregation on buses unconstitutional. ROSA WON

Movie Reflection

The message of my movie is love. The thing about this message is going to be cool because it shows that someone cares about a girl else they didn’t like and would do anything for her.

Angles/shots, Normal, Short, Far, Birds Eye and Worms Eye

The Camera will be still in some bits and other bits it will be moving around alot.

The sound quality is going to be Ok.

There is going to be some interaction between the boy and the girl while their somewhere or they are doing something like walking around. Then boy and girl really care about each other and will do anything for each other. The Expression’s will be Happy, Sad, Annoyed, Angry and Excited.

The Quality of the movie is going to be really great and the people aren’t going to have drawn backgrounds. The stuff the students do is real there could also be stunt doubles during some stunts it was pretty cool.
