*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 the 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. Which is totally not cool!
Now these days thanks to Kate Sheppard by the way, women have the right to vote just like men. I mean come on, men are good at things, but.. so are WOMEN'S!
In fact, women's were not allowed to vote in Saudi Arabia until 2015. Do you think this is far?
Well, I think that it's not fair at all, I think women should have the right to vote.
Women's should have the same right as men's to vote!. Women's out there have so many to say about all these demolishing new buildings, or should we stop giving free lunch at school. Thing like that, women's want to give their opinions and their suggestion maybe there opinions and things like that could be right you might not know.
Look now, remember on voting if we want to change New Zealand flag. My mum and all my sister vote, see and because of there votes and every other women's who voted, we would have never changed the flag, instead, we stayed with our own flag.
So I declare that women's should have, have the right to vote back then in Saudi Arabia before 2015!
Bonus Activity #3
* In the 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 McCray.
So I was given a poem to read all about ANZAC Day and not that I have finished reading, I'll tell you a little bit about if I liked it, How did it make me feel.
The poem I was reading was really good, very inspiring. This poem made me feel happy, made me feel like their is hope and there always safety around the comer, all those soldiers, who risked their life for us, trying with all their might, just for this Country and all out Kiwi's and Family. There family hearts must have been in terrible pain after hearing they have passed away, must have been hard for them. But that is why we have ANZAC day to remember the people we loved, who risked everything for us, who put their life before other's, thinking of themselves before other's.
If you would like to have a read about the poem, it is the link that say In Flanders Fields, 2nd Paragraph.
