P6S/M got a visitor Vicky, to tell us all about Ghana, and how wonderful it is even though they don’t have much resources or money. Vicky told us that she has been there 9 TIMES! That is amazing. People from Ghana have to walk miles to just to get water that is not even clean then they got to walk all the way back, with heavy buckets of water on their heads. If your wondering why its because it keeps sun out of their faces and their posture is more straight.
AND THAT IS WHAT WE FOUND OUT ABOUT GHANA.
What is a Disability
A Disability is when someone has struggles understanding people and get confused easily and need extra help . For example my brother is autistic so he refuses to go down stairs when people are home because he struggles to socialise and speak so when speaking to his teachers or working in groups sometimes he needs extra help. So just because someone has struggles doesn’t mean you should bully them because you don’t know how someone feels because they just need an extra push and they will be successful like my brother has 24 swimming medals just from having a little help.
We was learning about Firefighters When you are training to be a firefighter you need to do these things: You need to run 50 meters carrying a dummy in the sweating firefighter soot with out complaining Then you need to go in a straight path blind folded telling them what your touching Firefighters are allowed to be boys and girls and you need to save pets and humans
In our class we were learning about Ghana .
How long it takes for the People to get water ? It takes them 3.7 miles
Their house’s are made out of straw for the roof and mud for the walls.
How old does the People have to be to get the water? They have to be two or over ! .
There is even an orphanage and they go in it it’s because their mam and dad may have past away or didn’t have enough money to look after them which is very sad.
In Ghana there is 34,121,985 People .
Vicki came and told us about Africa how children and adults go to a well and get water dirty or clean water. Only some parts of Africa have clean water because those parts got help from other countries. Also the people have to carry the dirty or clean water in a bucket on their head so their backs don’t get sore. The school has no floors or windows. the academy is outside but luckily the are blessed with the sun so they won’t get wet well they should not. And they wash their clothes in dirty water or in clean if they are lucky.
Yesterday we had a visit from Diane M. She was a firefighter. I thought it was cool to see a firefighter in real life. We got to see the hose, her boots, the helmet, the jacket and the rope to try to make a knot. I liked the visit from Diane it was fascinating listing to the training exercise how they had to run with a hose 25m and back she said it was good for a start but after 2-3 times it would get boring but she did it.
We have been learning about Ghana. And their houses were made of mud and straw. They don’t have much water and food. A lot of people sadly die and people jumps on cars to get to places.
We were learning about a firefighter. She told us that she was a swim person for 20 years. And she did her firefighter test but she failed then she. Went to the doctor because she was deaf on one ear and got lots of tests. She did not get hearing ads. she tried again and she did it was hard but she did it.
What is Discrimination
Discrimination is when you look or have a disability you get treated unfairly . One of the big reasons of discrimination is boys are better than girls. When you think of a firefighter or police most people think of men this is because years ago women were only allowed to clean and cook because they were called weak and slow .
This week we have been learning about ADHD Dyslexia and autism. And we learned if you have ADHD you fidget a lot and you get distracted quickly. Also if you do have dyslexia you struggle with reading writing and more but they are more creative then others.
