How has week 1 gone?

Hello readers, today i'm gonna be sharing with you about my first week of term 2.

The first week of term 2 has been a huge success but its also been difficult. I had an amazing first week of term 2 but the most difficult part for me was on Monday. On Monday all my classes were maths, and reading and all my hurumanu's, and the only break we had was on morning tea time and lunch time but it was fun to learn more about maths anyway. The rest of the week was really fun and i learned a bit of Japanese, which was my favourite part. That was what we mostly did, we also did: Science, Gym, and the rest was just maths, reading, Wananga and hurumanu. What i'm basically trying to say is that, the first day of term 2 was very interesting and fun! ( i also loved the food ).

Wow, i'm surprised you made it this far! Bye now!!

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!
