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:

• John Key sits on the fourth set on the right side of the speaker.
• David Carter is the speaker of the house.
• The opposition leader is Andrew Little.

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

The one area of CARE that I am doing best in is:bus          because:i have been behaved on the bus by talking to the person next to me

The one area of CARE that I need to work harder in is: assembly  because: I focus on the speaker and I talk to the people next to me

To show my leadership qualities I am a role model to others in the CARE values by doing/showing these leadership traits: I show resilience by if I cant do something I ask people to help. and I have been a active thinker by thinking before I act.
