Today we had a leadership meeting. Mr Ladbrook was away so Mrs McLeod filled in. We practiced our public speaking. first we did it with a partner, then in groups of four. In the group of four we had a poem, we all got parts to say in front of the other leaders and then we got feedback from them so we could improve.

Today when the year 7/8 hub got back from technology we had to quickly put our bags in the class, grab what we need and go outside. After I ate my food under the shade I put my hat on and ran onto the field. when the year 3's ran past they put their hat on because they saw my friends and I wearing ours. I showed active thinking by role modeling my hat without being asked

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.
