Elections

 LI: To decide which political party will get your vote by making an informed choice. 

To decide which political party I would vote for I read a summary of the policies each party wants to introduce should they win the election and the right to form a government to run NZ. Doing this allowed me to make an informed decision. If I was 18 I would vote for National because they would provide authorities special powers to deal with young offenders. This means if National Won the election in my electorate Kanawaljit Singh Bakshi would be our member of parliament and Judith Collins would become the Prime Minister.

LI: To create a DLO about a job you found interesting by taking a careea quest



This week we were learning about careers. I like careers because I get to see the possbile jobs I could do when I grow up. I want to be a cook when I grow up.

I like cooking, so this will be a good job for me. This subject is interesting, and my favorite part about this topic, was all the choices I had.
