This is the last time I will be telling stories from BTN. Maybe next year if we look at BTN I will be telling more stories in 2015!! Now on too the last story. The BTN reporters asked people to make a movie on their lives. Some were students from schools that told us about what they do and their lives. Some kids inspired BTN sop the biggest one they liked and thew best moments were shown today, for the end of 2014. The kids had some happy and sad stories that made the hosts think.
Here are some of the people who got shown:
Eliza told us about dyslexia which she has. Here is what she said: Dyslexia is when we have trouble remembering how sounds and words fit together.
Declan told us about what it means to have Aspergers. Here is what he said: When I learnt about Aspergers I was like ‘I want to be normal’, I thought that was a bad thing I thought that meant my brain was sick and stuff like that, but now I realise that it’s a perfect condition, it’s pretty good.
Nick told us what diabetes is. Here is what he said: Although diabetes is a disease you can still live an exciting lifestyle.
Jack told us what it feels like to have astma. Here is what he said: I have to be careful because if I do too much it usually ends like this. You see I’ve got asthma.
Dewi told us about where she lives on Christmas Island.
They learnt that a boy was named after a war. ANZAC is named after the war. Here is what he said: I’m Anzac. I’m the fifth person in my family with that name. There’s my cousin, uncle, grandfather and great grandfather named Anzac too.
Amy went to South Korea and learntabout the Korea war too.
Chloe and her school mates told us about their trip to Zambia where they met local kids who are passionate about conservation.
Many Australian kids showed all of us the good things they’re doing like protecting the environment, restoring old graves, volunteer fire fighting, donating to drought-affected farmers and encouraging all of us to save electricity by spending a week outside.
Some kids love trains and paddle steamers, and those who like to chop wood, practice magic and win taekwondo. Every one learned a lot from kids right around the country and we can’t wait to hear from more children next year!
