Parliament

Parliament

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:

• Where everyone sits during a session in parliament.
• The people in parliament and what they do.
• That there is a underground passageway for the people of the house to arrive at parliament faster.

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

Excellence Evidence - Must Do #2

Wellington Fundraiser 

Must Do

On Monday Monique, Sam, Alicia and I went to the Halswell shops and Westfield mall.  We went there because we were asking different shops if they would like to donate some prizes towards our Year 8 Fundraiser Quiz night as we are fundraising towards our Year 8 Wellington trip.

Halswell Shops

We we to the Halswell shops first,  Monique and I were partners.   We went to the Pharmacy first, hey said they would ask their boss so their is still a Chance.  Sam and Alicia went to Tiffany's they got a gift card so they were very grateful for it.  After that most of they shops didn't have their boss at work so they needed to talk it through with their boss.

Westfield Mall

Once we arrived at Westfield we went to first shop but they needed to talk it through with their boss.  Basically every shop after that needed to talk it through with their boss.  Then Monique and I went to Noel Leeming and they were willing to donate some prizes.  They gave us Two cook books and Two glass Jars.

Then we got back at school around 2.55 - 3.00.
