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 learnt are NZ parliament are:

  • David Carter is the speaker of the house 
  • Anyone can get kicked out 
  • The opposition sits on the left side 

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

Extended Writing
Think of a time when you felt as though you were in a void or when you saw something that happens seldom. Write a paragraph about this.
Sometime I feel like I am in a void at school because it’s boring. One reason I feel this way is when my assignment is returned to me. I also don’t like when It’s a raining day .
