Bonus Activity: Crossing the Tasman

Back in 1928, a crew flew of four men ,for the first time in there life across Tasman from Australia to New Zealand. One of the men on board in the southern cross airport was a New Zealander named T.H. McWilliams. Williams' job was to operate the radio at the airport but the radio had stopped working as the weather was really bad the time which had caused this to happen. After take-off the rain and ice were so heavy that the pilot , Kingford Smith , could not see anything which made it hard for him to fly the plane in the right directions. Luckily they made it through the poor weather and safely landed after a 14 hr trip to Christchurch.


If I was on was one of those four men I would
have never anted to go on that plane.Here a
Poem I route about what I would if I was on that
plane.

Poem

Imagine me
soaring through the sky 
that's where i'd rather be
white clouds, deep blue sea,
that's what i'll see
flying a plane it sounds hard to do
but once you get use to it 
it'll be easy peasy
trust me.

In 1920s there was a Massive surge in the number of people that was going to the movie.
Huge new cinemas were build in both Auckland (Civic Theatre) and Dunedin
(Empire De Luxe).The Most popular type of movies showing at local NZ cinemas were
some silent films.Gold rush and the Lion cage are examples of iconic silent films.They
feature a famous actor called Charlie Chaplin.

The Lion cage.The Lion cage is a olden day movie. It is about a men name Charlie
Chaplin who got chase from a donkey .This movie is a silent films so that means you
can not hear them talk you can only hear music.I don’t like Silent films because you
don’t know what they are saying and you don’t understand anything it would be better
to hear them so other people could understand the movie.

Of the turn of the century ,New Zealand elected its first Government.Richard John Seddon served leader of the Liberal party from 1893-1906.Prior to 1839,only one men was allow to vote .But This all change in 1800s when a Women called Kate Kate Sheppard lead to a suffragist movement in New Zealand calling for a change in the law.Her amazing work finally paid off when a the Electoral Act was passed in the law on 19th September 1893, Women has the right to vote.New Zealand First to give all women the right.There are still countries around the world (e.g. Saudi Arabia) who,But recently,women were not allow to vote anymore.

   What I think about Saudi Arabia women not allowing to vote 
The fact that women that lived in Saudi Arabia couldn't vote is so unfair.Women should also be allow to vote.It is so bad for Women to not vote and men could vote.But when it came to 2015 women was allow to vote again.Now women are free to vote for any elections now and that is amazing.
