Summer Learning Journey 2019-20 | Week 2, Day 1 | Activity 3: 'Dear Jacinda'

Welcome to another post on my blog. This is the second week for the Summer Learning Journey 2019-20. If you don't know, the Summer Learning Journey is a holiday programme where we do blog posts over the summer holidays. This is because we don't drop down in our reading and writing. Because over the holidays, we have so much fun and not do any reading or writing, so we drop down in our scores.

The second week of this Summer Learning Journey is about I have a dream... - Politics and Activism.

Activity 3: ‘Dear Jacinda’ [6 points]

The Right Honorable Jacinda Ardern is the current Prime Minister (PM) of New Zealand (NZ). You might have heard of her because she’s in the news a lot! Did you know that she is the second youngest person and the second woman ever to be elected PM of NZ?

As PM, Jacinda Ardern makes a number of important decisions every day. Before she makes these decisions, she meets with many people to hear their ideas and get their perspectives (views) on issues.

Let’s imagine you were to write a letter to Jacinda Ardern about an issue that is really important to you, and to ask her for help. It could be something serious to do with education, health or welfare, or it could be something more fun and crazy - you decide!

For this activity, please write a letter that includes the issue you have chosen, why you have chosen it, and what you would like our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, to do about it. It is your job to persuade us (and her!) that it’s an important issue.

On your blog, share your letter to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.



Dear Prime Minister,

Thank you for being a good leader for New Zealand and helping others. There have been some changes in New Zealand which is good.

Climate Change is one of the biggest issues on Earth which everyone is talking about. Climate Change is a serious issue which affects our planet and our future. Climate Change is also affecting and melting the North and South Poles, which is causing Sea Level rise.

New Zealand is generating lots of energy by using renewable energy like hydroelectric dams, solar panels, wave energy and wind turbines. But, I think that we still need to continue to increase the renewable energy because we are still using gas, coal, wood, geothermal and more.

Using renewable energy is much better for us and the planet because we are not using fossil fuels. Even a small thing like using petrol is dealing with Global Warming. We should walk or ride our bikes.

These actions will have a big effect on Climate Change. If this doesn't happen, then the temperatures will rise and the situations might happen to the weather in Australia.

I really like the development which is happening in New Zealand. But I think that there should be more trees in the cities.

Thank you for reading.



Yours Sincerely


Khush
