Activity 3: ‘Dear Jacinda’ [6 points]
The Right Honorable Jacinda Ardern is the current Prime Minister (PM) of New Zealand (NZ). You might have heard of her because she’s in the news a lot! Did you know that she is the second youngest person and the second woman ever to be elected PM of NZ?
As PM, Jacinda Ardern makes a number of important decisions every day. Before she makes these decisions, she meets with many people to hear their ideas and get their perspectives (views) on issues.
Let’s imagine you were to write a letter to Jacinda Ardern about an issue that is really important to you, and to ask her for help. It could be something serious to do with education, health or welfare, or it could be something more fun and crazy - you decide!
For this activity, please write a letter that includes the issue you have chosen, why you have chosen it, and what you would like our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, to do about it. It is your job to persuade us (and her!) that it’s an important issue.
On your blog, share your letter to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
To Jacinda Adern
The Issue I have chosen: Contamination of ocean.
I have chosen this important issue because it is killing our sea animals which could cause their extinction and water pollution!

Kia Ora Lukas,
ReplyDeleteWell done for coming up with some important issues for Jacinda Ardern. I agree that it is an important issue. There are currently lots of different things that are negatively impacting on our oceans health. For example, the Great Barrier Reef is dying because the water temperature is rising due to global warming. If you wanted to read more the Great Barrier Reef here is an article about it: https://thekidshouldseethis.com/post/how-dead-is-the-great-barrier-reef
Have you thought about other things to add to your letter to convince Jacinda Ardern that this is a serious issue? Is there any New Zealand animals being affected by ocean pollution? What other ways do you think ocean pollution could be reduced?
Comment below when you have added more information to your letter so I can check it out and award you the full points for this activity!
I look forward to reading more of your blog posts soon!
Blog ya later,
