Writing an effective argument for my chosen political party.

WALT: Write an effective argument for our chosen political party.

Is national the best party to vote for? Yes, personally think that national is the best party.

Here are the policies I would vote for ; Transport, Health and Housing. My first policy I will explain is Health...My aim for Health is Giving free visits for children and less money for adults to pay. And having a chance to raise money for the people who need help.

Provide all decile 1 to 4 schools with a nurse

Because when kids get injured at school, they can go to the nurse for some help. Teachers can't really help out with injuries so they would send injured kids to the nurse. Without nurses, parents would complain to their child's teacher or principal about not doing anything to help their injured child. Another important policy is to extend free doctor visits for people under the age of 18.

Extend free doctor visits for people under the age of 18.

Some children are weaker than people over the age of 18, so they would need free doctor visits. I think children should be able to visit doctors for free because if people are poor them they could at least save their kids from danger Children should be able to visit doctors for free because if someone that is over 18 visits a doctor it would be over 30 dollars and some people can’t afford it. Another important policy is to Improve coordination between the health and education systems for people with special needs.

Improve coordination between the health and education systems for people with special needs.

So it would be fair enough for the people who desperately need help I think for people under 18 should be able to visit doctors for free and kids under 5 should be able to go to school for free. Lots of people in the world needs help so I think we should have some people to work as helping people that could be a job. Now i wish the future would take my Idea.

                         So, I’ve clearly explain “why” National  is the best party.

Because National helps people so they can have a good life. First I have talked about Transport to provide all decile 1 to 4 schools with a nurse. And secondly I’ve talked about Health to extend free doctor visits for people under the age of 18. And lastly I’ve talked about Housing to Improve coordination between the health and education systems for people with special needs I think the National party is the best decision, since I can’t vote yet because I’m still  young, but If I were you, I would personally choose National.

                                           

                                                                                      

My next steps are: Present Tense and  Pronouns somehow I forgot about them.

Koru Games Reflection.

Koru Games Reflection

In the Koru Games the sport I competed in was…Girls football.

Our team lost against all the other schools, except we were tied against honby high.

I found the experience to be defence because its easier for me to do than striker.

In terms of working with Individuals and Groups; my solo level is multistructional because I contribute to the group, even if they're not my friends.

For Teamwork; my solo level is relational because when I talk to the group, I speak appropriately and positively.

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
Teamwork	I need help to interact with others. I need help to participate in a team.	I can interact with others one to one. I can participate in a team.	I can interact with others in a small group.

Current Events Term 2, 2017

   

WALT: I can successfully research a current event. 

Here is a link to our online modelling book for this unit of learning. 

The National Standard that I have been aiming for during this unit of learning is:

• 
  

• Year7/8: I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes.

•  

Each week we have read a short text about a current event/ topic. We then formed questions based on what we had read.  After this we researched the answers to our questions and finally we gave our opinions on what we had found out. 

Here is some evidence of my learning. 

Describe Map One: Where does the NZ tax money go?

Describe map Two: NZ supermarkets to become microbead free.

My Next Step is to continue to  apply the reading and  research skills that I have learned in a variety of other areas.

Term 2 Novel Study

This term I have been reading and studying the novel … ( type the name of your novel here)

I found this novel (interesting, ok, etc)  because… (back yourself up with good reasons.)

During the novel I had to complete a thinking map which shows that I can classify how the author has shown the theme of the book.
Link to Classify Map ( make this link live with your doc)

Year 7/8  Standard
I can identify and evaluate the way writers’ use language and ideas to suit their purpose and I can use my growing wide range of academic and content-specific vocabulary to understand texts.

I have a large vocabulary that is connected to my own knowledge about the world and includes: - academic e.g observe vs watch - subject-specific (specific words about a subject (e.g feline) - technical terms (specialised vocabulary of a particular field.)
Overall I would give this novel a rating of  _______/10 ( insert your rating here) and I would / would not (highlight in green the one that applies to you)  recommend it to others to read because……………...because…………

In ARTS this term we have been learning to: Drama

Here is a link to our online modelling book. 

• During this unit of learning we:
• Described the characteristics of silent performances. 
• Identified different techniques used in silent performances. 
• Used these techniques in a variety of different practice situations. 
• Worked in a small group to put together our own silent performance. 

The most challenging part of this unit of learning was...trying to make everything perfect for every seen.

The two things that I enjoyed the most were:

1.  Acting with my friends and enjoying it.
2.  Practiceing it.

The story that my group told silently was when crystal was sleeping and me and warisha gets jealous and try's to steal it.....

Overall I think my group worked well it was all going according to plan but when we filmed it it didn't go so well......

Classify plane shapes and prisms by their spatial features

In Maths we have been using to:  Classify plane shapes and prisms by their spatial features

Here is a link to our online modelling book. This shows all of the learning we have been doing. 

EVIDENCE of my learning. 

Here are some screenshots to show the IXL activities I have completed. 

My next step is to continue to apply what I have learned in a range of problem solving activities.

Use coordinates and the language of direction.

In Maths we have been using to: Use a coordinate system or the language of distance and direction to specify locations and describe paths.

Here is a link to our online modelling book. This shows all of the learning we have been doing.

EVIDENCE of my learning.

Here are some screenshots to show the IXL activities I have completed.

You can find evidence of my extended abstract problem solving tasks in my Maths Book.

The Figure it out activities that I completed were  called:

• Going the distance
• Clara’s Cowpats

My next step is to continue to apply what I have learned in a range of problem solving activities.

Maths - Investigate simple situations that involve elements of chance by comparing experimental results with expectations from models of all the outcomes, acknowledging that samples vary.

Investigate simple situations that involve elements of chance by comparing experimental results with expectations from models of all the outcomes, acknowledging that samples vary.

Answer: it’s a 50% chance.

Why?; Because you wouldn't know what the chances are. It could be (T&T , H&H , T&H or H&T
