Do you know about the Dawn Raid?

In class we watched a video created by students from AUT. For LCS we have been focusing on Migration and the Dawn Raid. The video we watched is about The Dawn Raid and a man named Ioane that had faced the trouble of the Dawn Raid. We then created our very own poem about either the Dawn Raid or Migration. We had to add in a couple of figurative language and use our senses so that our writing was more descriptive! Here is my poem about the Dawn Raid!

Enjoy!

To my beloved parents .....

For LCS we have been learning about migration and how our ancestors arrived in New Zealand. To and of all of our learning about migration, we decided to write thank you letters to the people that migrated to New Zealand for us. My parents migrated to New Zealand for me and during our lessons I have learnt that they are the ones I should thank for all the opportunities I am given and for this helpful education I have. Here is my thank you letter to thank my parents for migrating from Samoa to New Zealand. 

Think about who migrated to New Zealand for you? Maybe write them a thank you letter!

What is your migration story?

In class for LCS, we are learning about Migration and how our ancestors came to Aotearoa! We have already had a few lessons about it and I have really enjoyed learning about how my people came to New Zealand and all the struggles they went through. 

One of our lessons we had with Miss Tupou included watching three different videos. One about the Samoan Migration, Tongan Migration and also the story of a boy from Columbia and the challenges he faced while migrating. After watching each video we contributed ideas that were mentioned in the video about the struggles they faced. etc Family, Career, Education, Dawn Raid
