Hello,
This week Kereru has been learning about disputes/protests in our reading time. I am in a group with Meia and Tara, and we had to make a slide about our protest that Miss Lang gave us. Our protest was called Waterfront Dispute. I had never heard of it before so it was really interesting reading and researching about it. Here are some facts that I learnt about.
- After the Dispute many men had trouble finding jobs because they had been involved in the protest.
- The government sent Navy people to replace the waterfront workers.
Other groups were learning about the Womens Suffrage Petition and Depresion Riots. Today we have to present out slide infront of the class. We are finished our slide but, I think there might be some groups who haven’t finished yet. We are learning about these protest so, when we learn about the Springbok Tour as a whole class. I’m soooooo excited to learn about it!
Here is the slides that all the groups made… (My group made the one that says BY Meia, Tara, Sophie).
What protests do you know about?
Have you been in a protest before?
