Dumbo

This week, Angie completed these wonderful Google drawings for some of the characters in our class novel, Dumbo. 

Angie showed our C.E.R.R. Value of Excellence this week by engaging with, and completing this task. She also put a huge amount of effort into the drawing of these characters and telling us, the reader, more about them.

Social Justice

This term room 6 have bee learning about Social Justice. We have explore different 'causes and effects' of poverty.
Nika wrote this wonderful piece of

writing that explains some of those causes and how this affects different countries and people.

Causes and Effects of Poverty.

What is poverty and what causes it? Poverty is a lack of essential resources. It can be caused by things
like population, Economics, Politics,

and Climate. These countries that suffer from poverty are called LEDCs (lower economically developed countries).

Population.

Sometimes largely populated countries are difficult to live in. This is because of the need
for more daily necessities.

The effect of this is that families don't have enough food or water to feed everyone. This would be especially
hard if you have a big family.

Overall rising populated countries are tough to live in and need more money

Economics.

The people in LEDCs do not have a good wage. Although they work very hard,
they do not get enough.

The lack of money has not benefited companies in LEDCs, this is because they are needing to sell things to
other companies in MEDCs.

This problem has also erupted because the government does not have enough money.

Politics.

Countries that are run by dictators create a bad environment. The cause is that
people don't get a say.

They do not get the freedom of choice. Because they have no choice this causes them to have no job
which leads them to become poor.

The leaders also let people raid other crops.

Climate.

Crops are a big food factor in some countries.  Many places are in a major drought right now, leaving
people thirsty and walking miles to g et water.

Then in other countries, it is the complete opposite places are flooding. There are also places that are
suffering from natural disasters.

Sometimes climate can be the cause of poverty and starvation.

To wrap it all up, these four components (population, Economics, Politics, and Climate) can cause
poverty in very different ways.

In my opinion, I think it would be very hard to live in a country with poverty.
