Jane Addams

 Today we were learning about Jane Addams who helped poor people by giving them somewhere to live and learn to cook and things like that. Heaps of people went there because they needed the basic things in life. Here are the questions we had to do.

• She Didn't actually build the house

• She is rich

• She wanted to help people

• When she saw poor people she wanted to help

• Her dad died

• She paid rent then got it for free

The empty pot

 Today we read a story called The Empty Pot. It was about a kid called Ping. He was good at growing things but then the emperor was in need of someone to take the throne. Then he held a competition and then he go kids to grow plants. Ping couldn't grow it because they cooked the seed and then he showed the emperor and the emperor liked his courage and made Ping the emperor. The other kids had cheated and other seeds. Here is a word search I made for it.
