One day when Rosa was going home after work, she took the bus and sat in the front of the bus. Seats at the front of buses were reserved for white passengers, and the seats at the back for black passengers. A white man boarded, the driver told the African American passengers to give up their seats for him. Whilst the other black passengers obeyed, Rosa did not. The result? Rosa was arrested by the police and fined for breaking segregation laws! But Rosa refused to pay, and argued that it was the law that was wrong, not her behaviour.

School Strike for Climate
Climate change is one of the biggest problems facing the world
and it isn’t being addressed quickly enough.
Climate change is a crisis and our planet earth is precious and
can’t be replaced.
Australia is already a hot and dry country and it’s expected to
generally get hotter and drier without action on climate change.
(47 degrees Celsius). It was the hottest day the city had seen in
nearly 80 years.
A Long Walk to Freedom
A Long Walk to Freedom
Mandela’s cell, a 7-by-9-foot room (2.1 m by 2.7 m), he could walk the length
of his cell in three paces. When he laid down, he could feel the wall with his
feet and his head grazed the concrete at the other side. The iron bucket that served as a toilet and the thin blankets served as bed. He was allowed one
visitor a year for 30 minutes. He could write and receive one letter every six months. He was not even allowed to attend the funerals of his mother and his son.

Letter to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern
Dear Prime Minister.
As a start I would like to thank you for the great things you’ve been doing to our
country. I am writing to you to express my thoughts about the low decile school
and students. Most of the kids come to school without having breakfast and most
times without lunch as well. Some schools provide breakfast club for free with the
help of parents volunteer. In my opinion I think all low decile schools should have
a free lunch so the student can learn and achieve. You simply can’t learn when
you’re distracted by an empty stomach. Therefore you will be way behind in your
learning. We need to ensure children are fed and have the best chance to
succeed. The free school lunches will give better support for children and young
people. Regular nutritious meals give children the energy, focus and
concentration they need to learn and develop.

What's In a Name?
I would change my name from Helena to Étoile
Because Étoile means star in French, my daddy was going to call me Étoile but
my mum called me Helena after Queen Helena. I like both names as I’m the first grandchild in both families so I get a Royal treatment and they always say
I’m bright like a star.

Space Poem
There men on the moon once
They travelled through space
And found that the moon
Was a dry dusty space.
They collected some moon rocks
And had to look around
They left lots of footprints
There on the ground.
They couldn’t stay long
As the moon has no air
But the footprints they left
In the dust are still there.

Christmas Poem
I’ve been waiting for Christmas,
And it’s almost here.
I’ve been waiting for Christmas,
Santa’s getting near.
Can’t you hear the sleigh bells ringing?
Reindeer up so high.
Can’t you hear the children singing,
As they watch the sky?
The Story of Jesus Birth
A long time ago, in the town of Nazareth, lived a young woman named Mary.
Mary loved God very much, she was engaged to be married to Joseph,
who was a carpenter. One day an angel suddenly appeared to Mary and told her
that she was favored by God. The angel told her that she will have a baby boy,
and have to give him the name Jesus."
Mary was confused; she was not yet married to Joseph, so how could she have a baby?
The angel thought that this might concern Mary so he said,
"The Holy Spirit will perform a miracle, and because of this your baby will be
called the Son of God."
Soon after, Joseph found out that Mary was going to have a baby. Joseph was confused
and upset by this, but an angel came to him in a dream and said, "Joseph do not be afraid
to take Mary as your wife. The child Mary is going to have is God's son, and you are to
give him the name Jesus."
Mary and Joseph had a baby! But this wasn't just any baby, he was Baby Jesus!
The creator of the whole world, the King of Kings, and the one who would save the world.
The little baby boy fell asleep in Mary's arms. She wrapped him in cloths and laid him
in a manger on some clean straw. After Jesus’ birth, Wise men from the east came to Jerusalem.
The Wise saw the child with his mother Mary. They bowed down they opened their treasures.
They gave him gold, incense and myrrh.
The gift of gold represented Jesus as a king with an everlasting throne.
The gift of frankincense is said to have been an acknowledgement of

If i was a principle for 1 week
If I was principal for 1 week I will train the teachers to think of the children as
their own and teach them new things to level up. I will make the teachers the
best friends every student should have.
I will give more opportunities to students in general and helping them achieve
their goals.
If the teachers don’t do well in teaching I would help them do better. I will make
the student achieve their goals through fun learning.
