Parliament

This is a photo of the Beehive, Parliament house and Bowen house in the backround.

For the past week we have been learning about parliament and the government because of the upcoming general election. During the time I have been studying about parliament and the government I have learnt

That the system of government we run on is called the Westminster system which was named after the place Parliament is in London

We lived in a democracy and have a government to rule us instead of a dictator.

When you vote you get two votes one for the MP that is standing for parliament in your electorate and one for your favored political party.

There are 70 electorates in New Zealand.

There were a lot more facts that I have learned but if i was to list them all this post would be very long. We have four buildings in Parliament which are the Parliamentary library, Parliament house, Bowen house and the Executive wing which is more commonly known as the Beehive. The Beehive is named after its shape which looks like a beehive.

Reading Challenges

This term I have not so far completed any of the reading challenges. I am aiming to compete the read ten books in a term and the pick a book randomly of a shelf challenge. I probably will not be able to finish all of
the challenges but  but by the end of the term I am aiming to complete at least 3.

So...much...reading....

Basketball

My favourite sport is Basketball. I like basketball because it is a fun and fast paced sport. I think you should try basketball because it helps you with your aim and you can have fun with your friends because it is a team sport.

 



Basketball Bob says play basketball.

Production

This year we are having a  school production. We have a production every two years. This years theme is space, the plot is about a villain who is looking for a piece of tech which will heal her cat called fluffy. And she goes on a stealing spree to find this piece of tech.  And there is this plot twist but I don't want to spoil the thing if you don't know the plot. We are still practicing the dance and some of us still need to finish our costumes. We still need to learn our dances and practice our moves. It's hard work but I guess it's going to be awesome
