Parliment

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned are NZ parliament are:

• the prime minister sits in the fourth seat on the right
• parliament and Government have different role
• there are more of the "national" party cause they got the most votes

Here is the link to my compare and contrast map explaining the difference between democracy and dictatorship.

Te Reo, Term 4 2016.

This term we have been learning all about the Marae. We have learned that…….

• The Marae is an important focal point for the community.
• The Marea is a place where tradition and customs can be carried out.
• The Marae is a place where people can express their values with dignity.
• There are many kawa ( protocols) that prevail on the marae.
• Marae kawa (protocols) can differ between marae's and iwi.

We have focussed on some key concepts when doing this learning.

These are listed and explained in the table below.

Concept	Definition - give the meaning of these concepts in your own words.
Tikanga	method, the way we do things
Pōwhiri	a welcoming ceremony on a marae

Manuhiri	people being welcomed onto the land on a marae
Tūrangawaewae	home base
Whanaungatanga	a relationship with family
