Elections

Yay the elections are here... but the problem is that we can't vote, oh well we can vote when we're 18 or older right?

What i learned this week about the elections is that:
  • Every three years New Zealand holds the elections and 18 years or over get to vote.
  • There are heaps of parties.
  • We choose a small number of people to represent our views in the parliament. 
  • Most candidates belong to a political party.
  • New Zealand is divided into 70 geographical areas called electorates/ seats.
  • They include seven Maori electorates.
  • We live in democracy country.
  • Democracy is a word from the Greek language.
And I've learnt a lot more about the elections and parliament, it's very interesting knowing all of this I hope we learn more.

Reading Challenges


Hey readers,

The reading challenges I have done so far is the random challenge in the random challenge I picked out from the shelf The tomorrow code, series challenge I picked dork diaries and family challenge I read city of fallen angels. What challenges I will aim for to do in the rest of the term is space challenge, 10 book challenge and maybe the others. I have also read some other books that have nothing to do with the challenges like Warriors fire and ice, it was a good book... yup.

Volleyball

Volleyball! Yup I think volleyball is the best sport in the world... actually I know it's the best sport in the word. The benifit of this sport is that you can get better ar recieving, hitting, and blocking. The skills that you learn are jumping, spikking and blocking. What makes this fun is that it feels really good when you spike the ball with your hands it goes BAM! and you'll see a pathway opening for you, through the blockers and it feels like your FLYING!

Production!!!

For me the Production is going good, the dance I've been learning the Cantina dance is actually going great for me. I've been memorizing my lines and learnt them off by heart now cause there only 2 lines. I also have been doing some of the props like cutting the egg cartons so tiring and it also broke my scissors... lol. The costume... well my costume is finished and ready to try on, and how i can get myself and others more prepared is by listening to the teacher and telling people to be quiet or help them with their production things.
