Equality Game with Year Ono

We played a game to explore the idea of equality & privilege as outlined in this video:  

This is what the tamariki thought:

AT THE FRONT OF THE ROOM ...

Life is sometimes unfair

Even if life isn't fair you have to push through

Life's not fair get used to it

You can choose where you begin in life

You can't get everything you want in life

It was fair because we were allowed to stand up

I have good aim

We tried hard and so we got it in

IN THE MIDDLE

The higher you are the more you succeed and the lower you are the more you fail.  If you start off low you'll fail.

People at the back could be trying really hard but the people at the front could be cheating

AT THE BACK

It wasn't fair

I'm bad at throwing

The people at the back have a disadvantage

Maybe the paper didn't even want to get in the bucket

you can't have everything in life

If you have everything you can feel empty.  You have to fail and keep trying.

We had a disadvantage and there were things in the way

If you're at the back you have to do a perfect shot so there's a lower chance and if you're at the front it was easy.

A bit like life because people were in our way

Climate change will bring issues of inequality and poverty.  How can we make sure we create a healthy sustainable world for all?
