Ned's Adventure !

This morning we had special visitors that came to our school to talk to the whole school about something
special. Can you guess who it is ? if you guessed Ned your right, Ned also came with a friend named
Cosmo. They’ve only been in Aotearoa once and only for a week. They are here to talk about how there
adventure went/was in the country Kenya based in Africa.

They’re first topic they talked about was about our superhero powers, and that power was our smile.
when you smile it brings the whole world together, He had multiple reasons why and how our smile can
change the world. One of his quotes that stood out to me was “smiles can break down walls”.
The reason to it is that if you smile it can bring people a happier life.

Then he talked about the matters of people, and how you care for one another. Caring for other people

can change lives, though you may not know them you still care it helps bring love and happiness into our
world and community. The five things he listed that were apart of this topic were , Each person matters a
lot, Caring is cool, different can be good, I can make friends everywhere and Include others.

In every country we all know there are different languages that are said. And in Kenya they have a way of
speaking their own language where us New Zealanders just speak English which most of us understand
,we do also speak other languages but English is what we prefer most, In New Zealand .Whatever culture
you are or whatever language you speak at home, feel free to express it around the world, It’s a way
that people can also communicate to you, and to try new languages.  I like to learn new
things, and I wouldn’t be more happier if I could learn a new language from a country
I’ve never really heard of.

He then talked about the education, and compares the times we wake up and the times the Kenya kids
wake up.  Here in Aotearoa the times our kids wake up is at 7:00 am and over in Kenya the kids over
there wake up at 5:00 am every single day for school. My questions towards that is, is it because they
have to walk a far distance? Or because they start very early?. I only live a few blocks down from school
and I always have to wake up at 6:00 every morning to get ready.

These messages can help everyone. It was good to know the difference between the students here in

Aotearoa and the students in Kenya. It was also good to know the five importance of how to be kind to
other people. and they were, difference can be good, caring is cool, I can make friends anywhere, each
person matters a lot and include others. My favourite one out of all of the five is, Difference can be good,
The reason why is because being different is a good way to learn different things, like for e.g if your
Islander and you wanna learn how to speak another language like what Kenya speak, you can always
give it a go. No matter how much you fail you still get up and try your best until you get it.
