Week 2: Day 2: Activity 2: Art Deco

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I give this painting 5 out of 5 stars because I think it is a very unique and beautiful picture. I, myself do not have the talent of art but I do possess a talent for fashion. I can contribute my ideas to make a perfect art but I cannot draw it out on a piece of paper. I think this painting has good tone and colour.

Week 2: Day 2: The Roaring 20’s (The 1920s)

The Lions Cage

In this movie, I think it is about how this man dealt with different situations or problems. However, he thought he can fool the lion but he was wrong. He is so lucky to make the narrow escape.

A pictorial story of the Catholic Cathedral in Auckland city -
St. Patrick and St Joseph. In January 29, 1943 a wooden church was built but
with the growing number in Auckland at the time a stone church was built and
opened on March 19 1848. Since then the church has been add on and renovated to
its present stage. It is a historical building.

1848	1884	1907	2005-07	2017

I sometimes go to this cathedral for mass on Sundays.

Bonus Activity: In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields

BY JOHN MCCRAE

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

 That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

        In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

    The torch; be yours to hold it high.

    If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

        In Flanders fields.

This poem brings tears to my eyes. They fought for the country and now poppies always remind us of them. We love these men and women whom their lives were lost in wars. Wars should not be the way to make peace. RIP 

Activity 2: The Right to Vote

I do not think it’s fair for the Saudi Arabian women not to vote for parliament. Everyone should have equal right. Thanks to  King Abdullah  for allowing women to participate in the municipal elections. God created human being to be the same. We can see the women can do anything that men do or women do more. Women nurture children, boys and girls alike. Why do they have to be second class citizen?

Figure Skating

Figure skating

On the first few weeks of the holidays I juggled between blogging and figure skating,
however I spent more time skating. I went to Paradise Ice Skating,
Botany nearly everyday. I spent 4 hours there every time I go.
I met up with my skating friends and we worked on the skills that we learnt
at skate school. We had lots of fun.

For Christmas, I got the most amazing present - my figure skates!!!!!!
I am very thankful to my Mum and Dad.

On the 30th of December, a tragic ankle injury disabled me to get back on the ice.
But my ankle is getting better and I can’t wait to get back on the ice.
