Dancing in the garden

Let's start at the beginning. By the way, I'm Lola, and a day in my life is harder than everyone else. I have to think twice as hard to get my work done in time. I am a Horrible speller and I suck at reading. The one thing I'm good at is dancing. The one thing that I can understand, The one thing that sets me away from all the bullies in this world. There is one place I like to go to, it's just beyond the backyard. by the oak tree past the pond. That's where I would go to be alone. Where the grass is green, and the sky is blue, not a cloud in the sky. A place of freedom where I can be me. but back here in school where people are mean and I got teased by Meg. Oh, yes, Meg the person that makes my life miserable . The first person to make fun of me. I bet if she went to another school I would have lots of friends. But she's here, she makes fun of me and the others just joined in. It's not my fault that I'm stupid. I'm dyslexic, and so I wonder, what it is like to be normal, and yes, I know that will never happen. I'm weird, so I know that people are going to treat me different. I feel out of place. Like I said before, I go to the place that I feel like I belong in. By the oak tree, past the pond. That's where I will be when I feel wrong, out of place. When I feel like the world's against me, you can find me there dancing in the garden.

      Today is Monday yay, another school day. I dread Monday because it means I will see Meg today. At least I get to see Nicole the one person that is nice to me. School is the worst. I never know what I'm meant to be doing. But the worst thing is when the teacher asks me to read something from the textbook. Reading for me, is like finding a pin in the pile of hay. I don't get how others do it so easily. It looks like they don't even try.

       One day my mum asks if I want to take dance class. I think to say no, but it would make her so happy, so I say yes. She tells me to get in the car I wonder why. Then when the car stops I realise that we are outside a dance studio. A tall woman walks out. She's the dance teacher. She shows us inside and tells me to show her what I can do. So, I step into the centre of the room and start dancing. All of a sudden the door slowly opens, and Meg walks in like she owns the place. At first I don't think she recognised me because she looks amazed. I just keep dancing and hope that she will leave, but no she watches me till the end. When the music stops playing, I know meg can tell that it's me. Because her expression had changed from amazed to an evil look, meg walks up to me I can just tell all the mean things she's going to say to me. But instead of just saying I'm a bad dancer she says “I'm surprised, you can kind of dance, but I think I'm better, and what are you doing here”. The teacher butts into say “well Lola here is going to join your competitive dance group”. What I can't dance with Meg. She sucks and I already have to deal with her at school. I can't do dance as well. On the way, I'm died quite. Just wanting to get out of the car and be alone.

I don’t know what to say. I can only deal with meg for so long should I move school. Wait thats a great idea why deal with her at school and dance if I move schools. And that's what I’ll do. Wait I have to ask mum if I can do it. “Mum can I move school I don’t have any friend at my school”. “ you're shore you want to move”. “ yes” I say .“Ok then you can move to HNI how about that”. “Thanks so much” I’m so happy that I mum let me move. I’m much happier at my new school than I ever was.

Women and the vote

On 19 September 1893 the governor, Lord Glasgow, signed a new Electoral Act into law. As a result of this landmark legislation, New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world in which all women had the right to vote in parliamentary elections.

In most other democracies – including Britain and the United States – women did not win the right to the vote until after the First World War. That achievement was the result of years of effort by suffrage campaigners, led by Kate Sheppard. In 1891, 1892 and 1893 they compiled a series of massive petitions calling on Parliament to grant the vote to women. In recent years Sheppard’s contribution to New Zealand’s history has been acknowledged on the $10 note.

Today, the idea that women could not or should not vote is completely foreign to New Zealanders. Following the 2014 election, 31% of our Members of Parliament were female, compared with 9% in 1981. In the early 21st century women have held each of the country’s key constitutional positions: prime minister, governor-general, speaker of the House of Representatives, attorney-general and chief justice. The suffrage campaign in New Zealand began as a far-flung branch of a broad late-19th-century movement for women’s rights that spread through Britain and its colonies, the United States and

northern Europe. This movement was shaped by two main themes: equal political rights for women and a determination to use them for the moral reform of society.

This movement was shaped by two main themes: equal political rights for women and a determination to use them for the moral reform of society. Three years after the vote was won in 1893, a convention of representatives of 11 women’s groups from throughout New Zealand resolved itself into the National Council of Women (NCW). Its aim was to ‘unite all organised Societies of Women for mutual counsel and co-operation, and in the attainment of justice and freedom for women, and for all that makes for the good of humanity’. More than a century later, the NCW still works in the interests of women, but it is a very different organisation from that established in the 1890s.

Learning Task - Let’s reflect on our term of learning and celebrate the artworks we created!

Create a visual presentation,  (i-movie, slideshow, powtoon) of photos from the art exhibition. Be sure to include photos of your work and the HNI hall with all of the displays. If you can add narrations to your movie, do. It should be high quality, have photo/video effects, appropriate choice of music to accompany it.
