Reflection On Diference

Q.How Do I Treat People
From Different Cultures?
A.I treat them like anyone
else because they are.

Q.How are people from
different cultures the same?
A.They just look different on the
outside and maybe a different language
maybe but they are completely the same
on the inside.

Q.How can we make new
people feel welcome?
A.We just treat them the same
and of course the commen scence
qoute "treat others the way you want to be
treated"

Q.What might I (have) Done /do
that makes people feel different?
A.Maybe Sometimes when people that are from
a different culture are standing beside someone
who just got invited to their house or to a
birthday party and they feel a bit left out and
then that might make them feel different.

Dear Tania,

I am Elsie from Fendalton Open Air Primary School
And I read the busker and I really think you need a reality check you’re not the queen of England if you were you wouldn’t be here.
You are going to miss out on a great boy and you won’t realise because you didn’t give him a chance.
You only care about going out in taxis and getting manicures.

You should start treating people the way you want to be treated because at this point I agree with the boy in the story go jump in a lake. Maybe next time you should talk to him first because you might actually like them and if they can’t afford to take you out in taxi’s then that’s your loss!!!!

I have a question for you about the book. Why do you only choose to go out with boys who can talk you out in taxis it’s only the way you get there how can you tell if you like him by the way he takes you out.
So take my advice go out with the boy but only if you have talked to him and you’re sure you like him.

Yours Faithfully

Elsie Whelan

The Excitement Of Christmas Eve
When You Get The Shiver Down Your Spine
Spying On The Sun
Watching It's Beautiful Shine
Walking Through A bunch Of Flowers
Embrace The Power.

Sunrise

The Pink In The Sky
The First Glimpse Of The Sun
When All The Colours Reappear

Nothing Is Loud
I'm So Glad That These Are Not Rare.

Then Out Comes The Sun
We Start The Fun
And Everyone Let's Out A Cheer
But Then It Goes Down
We Let Out A frown
But Tommorrow's Sunrise Is Near.
