ANZAC Day

Vote For National

YOU SHOULD NOT FOR LABOUR !!

Instead vote for National

Personally, I believe that national is the best party to vote because they are doing good to New Zealand.

Here are three policies That i would vote for:

• Increase the residency requirement for superannuation from 10 to 20 years
• Reduce tax on income up to $52,000
• Extend paid parental leave to 22 weeks

Extend paid parental leave to 22 weeks.

Parental leave to 22 weeks should make a big difference for families during a necessary stage in their lives. Paid parental leave is good for parents, good for babies and supports women in the workforce.

National believes that the growing economy and improving government finances means more support can be provided for families with newborn children.

Increase the residency requirement for superannuation from 10 to 20 years.

National believes that too many migrants are able to qualify for superannuation without having contributed enough through tax.

Increasing the residency requirement from 10 to 20 years should reduce the number of people receiving superannuation who do not deserve it.

Reduce tax on income up to $52,000.

National believes it's important that everyone shares in New Zealand’s economic growth.

The Government is now in a good financial position and can afford to lower taxes.

Reducing tax on income up to $52,000 should help hard working New Zealanders, get ahead and assist low and middle income earners facing high housing costs.

Why not to vote for labour.

They are legalizing Marijuana, Because the are *good use for sicknesses*.They are not thinking about about the bad things that may happen when when they will be legalizing Marijuana.

Others might be using Marijuana the wrong way (e.g. drug use)

So there, clearly I have explain why National is the best party.

National policies are the strongest in Health because they are gonna build a new hospital in dunedin and they are gonna make dentist appointments for pregnant woman free as it is expensive

These points that i have covered are Extend paid parental leave to 22 weeks, Reduce tax on income up to $52,000 and Reduce tax on income up to $52,000

Clearly you know who i will be voting for who are you voting for?

My next steps are:

Are to add more conjunctions.

Koru Games Reflection

In the Koru Games the sport I competed in was Girls Soccer

We lost 5 games, Drew 1.

I found the experience to be Fun and Exciting because we got to know other people from different school and we got to compete with them

In terms of working with Individuals and Groups; my solo level is Extended abstract because I Represented Oaklands by showing a can-do attitude and i tried my very best.

For Teamwork; my solo level is Extended Abstract because we all showed communication, resilience and Team work.

Individuals and groups	I need help to work in a group (with teachers or other students	I can work in a group with my friends.	I can work in a group with anyone in my  year level or team	I can respond positively to the needs of others	I can reflect on how well I work with the group and seek feedback on how I can improve

Use the Image above to answer the questions in the table

Item	Which shop is the item cheaper?	How much cheaper is the item (when it is on sale) than the other shop?	Show your working out here:
Sweatshirt	The surf shop	Cheaper by $42	60 times 30=1800 Divide the answer to 100 =18( $60 - $18 = $42

Careers Education C.V. Writing

Careers Education C.V. Writing

In CAREERS EDUCATION we have been learning to write a skills based Curriculum Vitae.

A skills based C.V. focuses more on the skills that we have,  rather than our work history.

Here is a link to our online Modelling Book that shows the process we have followed.

Three things that I have learned about writing a Curriculum Vitae are:

1. It helps you to get a job

2. it brings you closer to the other person

3. it has a format

Here is a link to my Skills based Curriculum Vitae.

I can apply some criteria to evaluate texts eg accuracy of information and presence of bias.

In reading we have been learning evaluate texts.

We evaluated texts against four key criteria. These were:

• Readability

• Accuracy
• Relevance
• Quality of information/ language.

Here is a link to our modelling book.

Here is my evidence to show that I am able to demonstrate this reading skill.

Describe authors purpose

criteria to evaluate texts

Evaluating a range of texts

My Next Step: Is to continue to apply this new knowledge and evaluate texts as I read them, checking for readability, accuracy, relevance and quality of language/ information

Term 1 Novel Study

Term 1 Novel Study

This term I have been reading and studying the novel Fat, four eyed and useless.

I found this novel interesting because it showed how Ben (the main character) went through bullying.

During the novel I had to complete two major assessment tasks. The first is an Explain Map which shows the consequences of a major event in the book. The second was a Describe++ Map (Inference map) which shows how I have connected prior knowledge and other experiences to what I have been reading to make an inference.

• Link to Explain Map

• Link to Inference Map

National Standard this covers

• Year 7/8  Standard
• using several pieces of information to make inferences
  using their prior knowledge, along with information in the text, to interpret abstract ideas, complex plots, and sophisticated themes
• I can use a range of strategies, such as inferring, to work out more complex words.

Librarian- Merit #1

On Wednesday Charlotte and I had librarian duty at lunchtime. We started of by putting the returned books back to the shelf were they belong, it took quit a while to get it finished but that's okay it kept us busy. 

After that Mrs Ward took Charlotte in charge of the scanning while i put the rest of the books back to the shelf. We switched positions so I could also do the scanning, since it was a long line we had to show a lot of resilience in order to get this done. At the end of lunch time Charlotte and I straightened the books  Finally we are done!! 

In PE we have been participating in a variety of games that require little or no equipment.

Below is the Matrix which shows our progression in this unit of learning.

The table below shows my understanding of games with minimal or no equipment.

(Fill this table in, in as much detail as possible. )

Examples of Games that need minimal or no equipment.	What equipment would we usually need to play these games.	Why do we play games with minimal or no equipment?
soccer basketball netball Indian tag Normal tag hunger games	we usually need  a ball bibs and cones	cause we cant be bothered

My Strengths.  

Some things that I have done well during this unit of learning are giving people a turn because they haven't had one

My Next Steps.

Some things I could improve on when playing games with minimal or no equipment aregiving myself a turn  Because i haven't had a turn yet
