We have been learning to write a detailed character description. We chose to describe our principal, Mr Reed. When Room 8 presented the school assembly last week, we created a movie about our descriptions to share with our school.

OUR INQUIRY - IGNITING STAGE
How do the lives of others' differ from ours?
We are viewing a range of clips that show the different lives of people around the world. We watched a clip about a China Sweatshop for the large corporation: Nike. We thought about two questions;
What is their everyday life like?
Would you be smiling if this was your future?
We have also been discussing lately the expectations we have for our future. This is what we came up with:
- not to be controlled or pushed around
- be able to choose my own job, not have it chosen for me
- be a dancer
- go to university and get a degree
- have the opportunity to go do further study
- have enough money to study
- travel the world - go where I want to go
- go to the olympics
- have my own pets
- have my own money in my control
- fast cars
- be able to play sport, play in parks, field
- be an All Black
- have enough food, money to buy food

WOULD YOU BE SMILING IF THIS WAS YOUR FUTURE?
