Our heroes: Local heroes

 This week in hururmanu one, we have been working on our local heroes. Mr. Mitchell told us to choose the earthquake that happen in 2011 or the terror attack that happen  in 2019, i choose the earthquake that happen in 2011. What we had to do was do a DLO (not boring) and answer some questions, here are the questions and answers:     

1. What did they do? What qualities did they show?;

he saved two people and he showed people as a role model.

2. Where were they? How did they get involved?

2011, and he just got involved by just saving those two strangers.

3. Why did they get involved?

He just wanted to save those two people.

4. Did they earn any bravery awards?

yes but no. his award was becoming a celebrity.

6.How has their life been affected?

He became very famous after that day.


And here is the video i did !:


Reflection for the culture kete

What went well for me/my group with my research and presentation:
  The pictures that we drew. I drew beach day outfit in Brazil and my teammate did a picture of  Brazilian carnival outfit.

What didn't go so well and why?:
 I forgot my brigadeiros at home because i was busy and maybe i didn't do enough effort.

If i was to do this again what would i do differently:
  Put more effort into into my work.

Music through the decades

This week in counting the beat we have been working on "music through the decades". First Mr. Mitchell showed us a presentation about what we do, first in the slide we had to do a few slides and all on the top had a number on it of the year. we had to do to 1900's to 2010's, on each slide we had to write: 

  • Who were some famous musicians of the time,

  • What musical genre was popular/new,

  • A video or audio recording of a song from this decade,

  • Any songs that were re-released during this decade.

  • An iconic or fashion image from that decade.


Mr.Mitchell said we can get in to groups no more then four, me Venice and Jordan went into a group. We also watched a video:

  

And here is the little project that me and my group did: 



Bye readers! :)

Political Decision-making


 Hello readers! 


This week in hurumanu one, we have been learning about Political Decision making, i also learnt about similarities-


How we select our Government in a General Election

 There are two votes, one for Party and one for a leader.


How often are our General Elections?

Three years.


What are the steps Parliament follows to pass a new law?

There are several stages that a bill passes before becoming an Act of Parliament. These stages ensure that a bill is subject to public debate and scrutiny. Some of these stages also provide an opportunity for a bill to be changed: Introduction, First reading, Select committee, Second reading, Committee of the whole House, Third reading and Royal assent.


How do the steps we used to create our Class Treaty compare with the steps in passing a new law?

In our class treaty we:

  • We went into groups and spread the workload. (The same as Parliament )

  • Other people checked our work and made changes. (This is like a second reading of a Bill.)

  • We then put our treaty into a formal format. (Parliamentary Services does do this)

  • We checked it out as a whole class. (This is like the same as the final reading in Parliament)

  • We all signed the Treaty. (This is the same as Royal Assent (signed by the Governor-General)


thank you, bye!
