Week 2 Day 1: The Early Years (Late 1800s – 1919)

Activity 1: St Joseph’s Cathedral
In the olden day when the Europeans settled in they wanted a nice place to meet in something called a church. The biggest church in New Zealand is St Joseph’s Cathedral. Now here is a photo of a church and when it was built and where is it and how long it took to build. Here is it:
This is the Holy Trinity
It is in Auckland
It took years to build


Activity 2: The Right to Vote

Years ago woman would not have the right to vote because they thought they worn't as important as men. But now in some countries they have started to consider letting them vote. Now we even have a woman as our president in New Zealand.
I Think that woman should have the right to vote because they are just as important as men are and they deserve to be noticed.
Bonus Activity: In Flanders Fields In Flader field were the place were people fought in the war. Did you now that the poppy fields got covered in blood so they spread the blood jean so now popys are red. Now here is a poem and how I think about it.

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.

I think this poem s a very good poem but at the same time it makes me sad because lots of my ancestor fort in the war.
