In Nga Tangata, Hurumanu 1 we studied the lives of Local, national and international heroes. A hero is a male, female or a group of people who make decisions that don’t benefit themselves, but benefit the public or their country. I made some google slides about 6 sporting heroes, They were Sophie Pascoe, Matthew Trott, Valerie Adams, Richie McCaw and Caroline and Georgina Evers-Swindell ( a team of rowers, it would have been unfair to only write about one ). ]
I made some google slides about a local hero who studied the prevention and treatment of diabetes. His name was Don Beaven and he lived in Christchurch until his death. My class and I also studied a music band called Crowded House. They were said to be ‘heroes for one day’ when they performed in Christchurch recently.
We discussed the meaning of hero worship. It means ‘ looking up to someone and trying to be like them in multiple ways. ’
My class also studied some earthquake heroes from the Christchurch Earthquake of 2011, their names were Craig R Adair because he evacuated a highly built building, Chris Cole because he provided service to local residents and contacted the authorities, Jennifer M Butler because she gave medical attention to over 100 injured individuals, Christopher A Nutsford who saved 3 to 7 people from a fallen building, putting his own life at risk and James askew because he provided assistance for the rescue efforts of the fallen CTV building.
I was supposed to write about what it would be like to be a comical hero, but there isn't enough time to write it here, but my alias was lo siento ( it means im sorry in spanish ).
Sporting heros:
( there is a high chance i'm missing one or two blogposts, sorry for the inconvenience )
