New Zealand Government

I think that the new Party government of New Zealand is going to work out pretty fine. Why? Because Winston Peters has chosen the Labour Party to be government. (Yay!) I think that choosing the Labour Party is a very smart excellence choice there for, they have very good policies and great ideas for New Zealand Housing, Education and more brilliant stuff.

But for sure why did Winston Peters make New Zealand wait that long?? To me it was pretty obvious that the Labour Party would've won.

Party Choices

In our social Studies class we have been looking in to the New Zealand Party election and some things about the Mp and Parliament. As a class we have made our own Party election so we know what they do when you have to vote in the New Zealand election and what Party has the best Policies for when they win the election. Before all this I was voting for the Labour party because they had some good policies like when they win. They would stop the state house building and help out the ones that don't have a home and they're living in the streets. But now I am thinking of choosing the Maori party because they have some good policies too like helping out in the Education and the family in needs. And so I vote Maori Party for local MP.

If I were a Prime Minister for a day

If I were a Prime Minister for a day I would make the prices for everything in New Zealand $0.00 so then people wouldn't worry about buying food for their families, getting a new car, buying a house or like paying off their housing bills. But that's only going to be for a day. And I hope that will make some people like the homeless enjoy a day for once in their life time. So that means they can go to malls get some free clothes and probably get heaps of food for them selves.

Government

Image result for New Zealand Government

The government in New Zealand sorts out important stuff like our taxes, funds, citizenship's for people and housing problems for people that live here in New Zealand and other important stuff like that. I know that when it comes to elections, people from 18 and over have to vote or else they will get a fine. A fine to pay because they didn't vote in the elections.

I don't really know that much about the New Zealand Government but I can say that they are doing a good job. I know that there are 6 or 7 different parties in the government. There is the Labour party, Green party, Maori party, ACT party, New Zealand first party and I forgot the last one or two but that's all I know about the New Zealand Government. Thanks for reading this blog post I hope you learned something from this. And I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and goodbye.

Push & Pull Factors

In migration, push factors is when you forcefully push people away to a different place or country. And Pull factors is when you have to leave where you are currently staying to a new place or country. 

My grandpa's sister & husband was in a situation like this. They were pulled into New Zealand which is called pull factors. They were pulled to New Zealand so they can live a happier better life then living in Tonga. 

But then my grandpa's sister left New Zealand because her mother just recently died in probably her late 80's or something. So when she left she also left behind her husband called Fine. This is a true story about my family members so I can't tell you everything that happened but, later on a few weeks later Fine flew back to Tonga because of some important issues that happened and because he wasn't allowed to live with me after what happened to me.

So at the beginning of the story they were pulled to New Zealand for a better happier future but, then at the end of the story one person was pulled back to Tonga and the other person was pushed back to Tonga.

My Social Studies Exams Reflection

Last week starting from Wednesday all the way through to Friday the whole school of Tamaki College began our middle of the year school tests. The tests were about what we have been learning about and all kinds of things. On Friday we did our Social studies exam. I thought that I went okay with our Social studies exam.

I think that this went okay because during the Social studies period I was doing my work, listening to my teacher and actually working my butt off for everything. Of course I didn't get everything 100% like how we were supposed to write what we learned back in Term 1 but I know I tried my best and that's all that I could do.

For my exams that coming up next I will have to work hard and keep trying and finish my tasks so I can improve on my tests.

Positive Digital Footprint

It is important to have a positive digital footprint because when you are doing something negative online you leave footprints on the internet and you don't want anybody to see what you were doing so you should always think about everything twice.  Also if you think that when you delete your history on your computer or phone or something you might think it's deleted forever and nobody can see what you have deleted but, really somebody (hacker or somebody good with computers) can just be stalking on you at that very moment. So remember everything you do online you will always leave a digital footprint. I just want to stay make sure you have a positive digital footprint online. Thank you for listening and hope you have learned something. Good bye.

About Tokelau

This week in Social Studies class we have been watching a documentary video about Tokelau. Tokelau has been changing over the past few years like their tradition/culture has changed, how Tokelau has gone global now, food is changing, education is also changing, they are living in a good position at the moment, they are citizens of New Zealand, and that the council there are finally listening to woman's side of story and what their perspectives are to things and what they have to say. I would like to tell you why Tokelau is changing but I guess I wasn't listening very carefully to the video. And that's all what I've got for today.

Inquiry Reflection

Our group didn't work as a team because some of us were on other sites and not focusing on our inquiry work.  The rest were working really good and managing themselves to what they had to do.

The things that we did well together as a group was just communicating on what or who should do that and stuff.  Next I think that we can work on as working and participating as a team not one or two people mucking around and not doing what their supposed to be doing.

Our next job to do as a group is to improve on our thinking and to work together as a team.  Also the next thing we're doing is to write a poem or a song lyric or something that is about our inquiry topic which is Healthy Foods and that's about all.

Group Project

The last few weeks our SOS class have been focusing on our own projects.  Our project about Healthy foods and its been going okay with the project but we are not going too well.  My opinion for the issue of healthy foods is that people in our community eat too much unhealthy food like junk foods and takeaways most.  And they might end up dying in a young age.  The possible solution for this issue might be just helping them to see a better healthier way of eating and living life.

Our group has not been working as a team because we have been doing other stuff like going on other sites.  We are still up to answering the questions.  We are good at finding information and answers to our project solution but we need work on working as a team.

Healthy Food/Eating

Today we are learning about the topic Healthy Food/Eating.  There are other topics to pick but we picked this topic because we see a few of people in our community that are eating unhealthy food and not looking after their bodies properly.  Our group name is called the Wahine's & Uli.  At this stage we are still at answering questions about our topic and what we can do to help with the people and their health.

Our group is going well but, some of us is not doing any work.  Answering the questions went well and our communication is going well too.  To improve next time we all have to do something at least and help each other out. Thank you for reading my blog post. Goodbye.

River Talk

Last week on Thursday the 2nd of March some of the year 9's walked down to our community river/creek to learn some information about the river/creek.  When we arrived there, there was some people from different places around the world like Tonga and others places just to come down and talk to us (Us and other schools) about the river which is so kind of them to do.

They talked to us about how dirty the river is, what and how makes the river look so dirty and polluted, stop people from polluting the river and they also talked to us about the creatures that lives in the river and how it's not healthy for them and us.  It was fun and interesting to learn heaps of information about the river.  If you live around Glen Innes in Auckland you can come down and just have a look at it.  Here are some images of the River talk.

Box With Finger Joint Research

 These three boxes are made of wood obviously.

You can use these Finger Joint boxes to put your jewellery, makeup, hidden foods or some sort like that. Anybody can really use this box.  As you can see it's kind of big to put your secret stuff that you don't want anybody touching.
