Action Plan Two

Action Plan Two

On the 21st of November, we emailed the Ronald McDonald House asking about us coming and visiting the people which live there and ask what they want for Christmas. We got a reply but it wasn't exactly what we wanted. They said we weren't allowed to talk to the people that live there but on Thursday the 23rd of November we could go have a tour around the building and see what it is like there. Because we couldn't talk to them they sent us a wishlist of things that we can maybe get them, mostly gift cards for different things like petrol and prezzy cards. So on Thursday, we will be busing to the Ronald McDonald Hosue via the Hospital for a tour at 11am. 

Action Plan One

Action Plan One

In Action Plan one we had to talk to Mr Rogers (a teacher at our school) about doing the car wash. Which we wanted to host in the carpark of Hornby High School. After talking to him we decided to do the car wash on the field instead of in the car park. As we wash cars Hannah-Mae's group ( Hannah-Mae Blog) with be selling food and other things to fundraise for the children suffering from long-term illness at the Christchurch hospital. Leticia from my group emailed Mr Rogers on the 20th of November about the car wash he told us that we had to meet up with to talk to him. We also poted a Post on our community website about the price.
 It was $5 for a basic car wash, $10 for a carwash and tyres and it's $15 if you want carwash, tyres and windscreen. 25% of people said $5 car wash, 50% said $10 for a car wash and tyres, and then 25% of people said $15 for a carwash, tyres and windscreen.
But then we had to change what we were doing so we are now doing it at Hornby Primary carpark and Hannah-Mae's is going to do it at another time in a different place but it will still be from 12pm - 4pm on Saturday the 2nd of December. 

Drama Tape Role - Dance

Dance

I did a lyrical piece to 'Say you Won't let go' by James Arthur. Our pieces had to be no less than a minute long. Mine was a minutes and a half. It was representing love and letting people go. As I performed this dance I use multiple dance moves like pirouette turns, holds, kicks, backward rolls and more. I showed emotion in my moves and how I told the story of my dance. As you can see when I do the hold on the words 'letting go' I fall into a backward roll but as I hold the poses you see the emotion on my face.

Here is my video... 

Ronald McDonald House Action Plan

We need to organise for the 2nd of December. If we are not allowed to do this we will try to find another place to host the carwash. This will need to be done by 22nd of December.
Action Plan Two:

We need to email The Ronald McDonald House asking if we can come visit the patients and families which live there, to play games and talk too about what it is like. We will need to organize transport with our families and parents. If they don't allow us to go there we can fundraise for gifts, books and other things we can give to them to brighten up their day. This needs to be done by Leticia, Jazz, Haylee, their parents and families and I. This also needs to be done by 18th of November.

Action Plan Three:

Do the carwash on the 2nd of December from 12 - 4pm. We will wash the people cars which but the food and gifts which Hannah-Mae and her group are selling. If no one is allowing us to wash their car we can also sell so stuff with Hannah-Mae's group.

We will have to organise a time which everyone can go at the same time within their hours. This will be done by Haylee, Leticia, Jazz and I by the 5th of December.

The Ronald McDonald House Fundraiser

At Hornby High School we are doing project-based learning. We were asked to choose a topic which has a good impact on the community. We got into groups of three or four. My group has Leticia, Haylee, Jasmine and I, we are called the Maccapacca. We chose the topic of 'The Ronald McDonald House'.

The website we use are:
https://rmhc.org.nz/ - The Ronald McDonald House

http://rmhsi.org.nz/   - The Ronald McDonald House South Island

https://rmhc.org.nz/house/christchurch/ - The Ronald McDonald House Christchurch

http://rmhsi.org.nz/ways-to-help/volunteer/ - The Ronald McDonald House Volunteer

https://mcdonalds.co.nz/ronald-mcdonald-house-charities - The Ronald McDonald House Charity

We choose the Ronald McDonald House because not everyone knows why it is there and that it is there. It is there for the Patients and their families which have to leave their homes to get treatment for their illness. As they stay there, they don't get many visitors and it isn't the happiest place to be. We want to fundraise for The Ronald McDonald House by selling chocolate and having a bake sale or a carwash, which all fund will be given to the families and the staff which live and work at The Ronald McDonald House. Then go to The Ronald McDonald House and spend a day with the Patients and Families. We will go and talk to the children and play games and read to them. The want to brighten up there days.

Same sex marriage should be allowed in all countries

Love is love, equal rights for all. Gay marriage should be allowed in all countries, Because we are all the same, they didn’t choose to love the same sex, but also adoption rates will go up. Gay Marriage should be allowed in all countries because we are all equal. It doesn’t matter if we are black or white, or like a girl or a boy, we all deserve the same rights and we shouldn’t try to stop them from being happy. No one is perfect, there is no perfect life, we are all the same. So it was switched around and it was wrong to like the opposite sex would you do anything to make it happen? Along with equal rights, they don’t choose to like the same sex. What if you were hanging out with your friends and you realized you like them a little more than you normally do to a friend. You might feel wrong, or disgusted in yourself, but you don’t get to choose, there isn’t a button that you press that makes you like girls or guys. Is there that button out there somewhere? Same-Sex marriage should be allowed because everyone deserves equal rights, they don’t get to choose who they are, and also adoption rates will go up. 135,000 children are put up for adoption in the United States a year. 59% of them are coming out of welfare or foster systems. But if we allow gay marriage the rates will go up, because they may want children, but they can’t have them themselves so they rely on other sources like adopting children. By them adopting children the adoption rates will go up, which will help put all the children in safe and healthy environments and will be able to grow up with people that love and cherish them. Some people might say that it goes against religions to marry the same sex. But like I said earlier if it was switched around and marring the other sex was weird and abnormal, you would feel insecure and want to do something about it. You wouldn’t sit around a feel bad for yourself. You wouldn’t be against it if it was the other way round, would you? This is why I think that gay marriage should be legal in all countries. Because we are all the same, they didn’t choose to love the same sex, but also adoption rates will go up. Are you going to be the one to stop true love?

Creative Writing #2 Old Buildings should be preserved for future generations to enjoy.

24/10

Old Buildings should be preserved for future generations to enjoy.

Old buildings should be preserved for future generations to learn about their history, see how they lived and to be able to experience what it was like back in the olden days.

At our age, we can go to museums and see how people lived or what life was like years before ours. But if they destroy them, or leave them to rot, and deteriorate, that is not how they lived and it doesn’t show what life was like for the people back then.

Like I just said just before when you go to old building or museums you get to see how people back before our life lived and work and that helps us learn and respect what we have now. If we don’t keep our old building there will be no way of the generations after us to see how we lived.

Finally, along with the education in which the buildings hold about how we live, it also holds the key to the future generations to experience life before their own. When you go to an old building you get the sense of how the people live, play, work and other things. You sometimes get to even try live like that and realize how hard it was for them compared to yourself.

So we should keep old buildings for the future generations to help them learn and see how we lived and be able to experience what it was like in our age in time.
