The Branches Of The NZ Government

Recently in Social Sciences with Ms. Pugh and Ms. Robinson, we have been learning about the New Zealand Government and its different branches such as Legislative, Executive & Judiciary. Each of these branches has something to do with the government and they split the parliament into those three parties. The meanings of these words are :  

• Legislative - Is having the power to make laws and making sure that they get followed by the people of the community. 
• Executive - Is the branch in the government that makes sure people NZ know the laws of the government.  
• Judiciary - Judiciary has the power to fine you in court for not standing by the obligated laws and guidelines that we were given by the Government. 

Memorising Together - Activity

Today I social sciences we had an activity with Ms. Apelu, Ms. Robertson. During this activity, we learned about the different words that relate to the government or anything to do with the parliamentary business. In this activity, we memorized words such as Political Party & Member Of Parliament, After memorizing we played a game and it was that each one of us would be asked if you remembered a word and right after that learned the Definitions/The meaning of the word to play a different where we were asked if we remembered what the words meant. This was activity was a great confidence boost when helping those who weren't up to speaking to other people or a group of people.

History Of Te Reo Maori

The History of New Zealand 

In New Zealand, the indigenous language is Te Reo Maori spoken by the indigenous people of Aotearoa but during the 1900s the langue was starting to dying out.
In schools, Te Reo Maori was banned as a language taught in classes because New Zealanders had gotten a mistaken idea by thinking that European history was more important then Maori history. This was because of the most the indigenous people moved to the countrysides and cities which made people forget their original roots. Now attitudes have changed and now people are fond of the culture and history and now Te Reo Maori is proudly taught in New Zealand schools.

This summary is about the history of Te Reo Maori and how it was about to die out because of the Maori people remembering how they are and where they come from. I learned so much about culture and history.

What does Empathy mean to me ?

What does Empathy mean to me? 

To me, Empathy is to have the ability or the skill to understand and share the feelings of others. When showing Empathy you use encouraging words such as Good Job, Well done, I'll help you, Your the best and You'll get it right next time. When using Empathy you use it everywhere, in the playgrounds, community and at home. This is a great way to use Empathy because having Empathy is one of the best skills to have. There are people all around the world who have felt unhappy because they have been bullied and hurt in a way so that is why having Empathy for everyone is great. 

Kiribati Climate Change Literacy Reading

Martina and her family migrated from their country because of the climate changing and now it is becoming threatening to the people of Kiribati. One of the reasons Maritina migrate from Kiribati was because of a Push Reason. ( A push reason are a negative reason why people leave their country of origin ).  In the news story is has been predicted that this island will be underwater in the next decade. This is caused by the Greenhouse gases that circulate the Earth and keeps it warm. The rising temperature is cause climate change and that is also causing the fish and the all food source to leave the waters which is causing hunger.
