I think that sport girls should be payed the same amount of money as the sports boys because girls play the same sport as the boys and girls are good at all the sports like them. Girls should get the same amount of money because sports boys get a lot of money and girls get less money. Why they should get the same amount of money is because boys and girls play the same sport and there is no difference that's why I think girls should get the same amount of money.

Activity 2: Exploring Our Roots

Taika Waititi is a New Zealand filmmaker, director, actor and comedian. He has produced and/or directed a number 

of popular films including “Boy,” “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” and “Thor: Ragnarok.” As a child, Taika Waititi lived in Raukokore

 (a small town on the East Coast of 

New Zealand). When he graduated from secondary school Taika moved to Wellington to study drama at Victoria University. 

Despite moving away from home, he has 

never forgotten his family or his roots (where he comes from).

Speaking of roots, Taika comes from a culturally diverse family. 

His dad is Māori (Te Whānau-a-Apanui) and his mother is Russian-Jewish. I, on the other hand, am Pākeha (New Zealand European). 

Most of my ancestors come from England. When I talk about who I am, and introduce myself to others, I sometimes use a pepeha.
