World war 1

Treaty of Waitangi

Elction who will you vote

WALT: Write an effective argument for our chosen political party.

Have you voted yet,who do you reckon is the best party ? I reckon That Maori party should get your vote
That this party going to stop companies coming into the county and growing caravans. Also they are stopping water been taken to different countries. So the maori party has promise when they get in the government they will act on all of this.

The 1st policy I’m going to talk about is, Aim to have fresh water  drinkable so we don’t have to rely on the systems and we can just drink anywhere in the mountains. We can  drink wherever and when people run out of water they can go and get water from a river.More water drinkable water in new zealand.  Talking about water here is a new topic Ban the export of bottled water by foreign companies until the question of water ownership is addressed

The 2nd policy I'm going to talk about is, Ban the export of bottled water by foreign companies until the question of water ownership is addressed. So then we won’t have to share our water with other countries that can’t produce water so then we don’t have to  suffer. So we don’t have to share our brands and our awesome water with the world and when we are suffering from not having enough water in the world we will have enough because we are not sharing our water. Talking about a new topic here is one Plant 100,000 hectares of forest over 10 years.

The 3rd policy i’m going to talk about is ,100,000 hectares of forest over 10 years.So we can get more animals back into the world  because soon we won’t have any meat. So we can have tons more firewood in nz without importing it.So we can breath better in new zealand and then we won’t die and don’t have more of a chance diying .Here is a policy I disagree with.

The Disagree policy is,Introduce road pricing on major routes.They are going to make you pay for going on roads because if you don’t have money can’t go on the roads. It will slow down traffic and clauses more problems. Here is the conclusion and some questions as well.

So clearly you can see that the maori party is the best Party . That there policies are very good especially around water and transport.Well I haved talked about all of the policies. Will you vote maori party?

My next steps are: To add more detail to my policies.

Reading

Blog Title: Term 2 Novel Study

This term I have been reading and studying the novel Fat Four Eyed and Useless

I found this novel ok because there was cool events in the book and the reading out there writing in assmebly was a big event

During the novel I had to complete a thinking map which shows that I can classify how the author has shown the theme of the book.

• Link to Classify Map
•  Year 7/8  Standard
• I can identify and evaluate the way writers’ use language and ideas to suit their purpose and I can use my growing wide range of academic and content-specific vocabulary to understand texts.

• Overall I would give this novel a rating of  4/10 ) and I would  recommend it to others to read because it was a good book but personaly I didn't like the setting of the book because if you like books with cool events init it's the book for you.

Current Events Term 2, 2017

   Current Events Term 2, 2017

WALT: I can successfully research a current event.

Here is a link to our online modelling book for this unit of learning.

The National Standard that I have been aiming for during this unit of learning is:

• Year7/8: I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes.

Each week we have read a short text about a current event/ topic. We then formed questions based on what we had read.  After this we researched the answers to our questions and finally we gave our opinions on what we had found out.

Here is some evidence of my learning.

Describe Map One link

Describe map Two

My Next Step is to continue to  apply the reading and  research skills that I have learned in a variety of other areas.

drama

In ARTS this term we have been learning to:

Select and use techniques and relevant technologies to develop drama practice.

Here is a link to our online modelling book.

• During this unit of learning we:
• Described the characteristics of silent performances.
• Identified different techniques used in silent performances.
• Used these techniques in a variety of different practice situations.
• Worked in a small group to put together our own silent performance.

The most challenging part of this unit of learning was been silent because if somthing went wrong you can't tell them to do that scene

The two things that I enjoyed the most were:

1. doing this with my firends and having a good laugh 
2. we all had the same idea 

The story that my group told silently was that I stole the fidget spinner and then I ran into the stage and threw the fidget spinner case away and then I ran off ...........

Overall I think my group worked really well because we all had the same idea so we just clicked and it was so easy to do the process and film the act.
