Treaty of Waitangi

Election Writing

New Zealand needs a change, National need to go. National has been running government for 9 years and they have done nothing good in my opinion. The points that i am stating are how National has done nothing and how Maori could be doing much more in the future. As one on Maori promises they are saying they will aim to end homelessness by 2020.

Aim to end homelessness by 2020. The Maori Party is hoping to end homelessness by 2020. Because then people won't have to live in the street and other places. The environment will be better because they will not be any homelessness people on the street Another great policy is to build 90,000 house by 2020 for social housing and private sale.

Build 90,000 houses by 2020 for social housing and private sale. The Maori party want to build 90,000 house by 2020 social and private sale and they want to end homelessness by 2020 so that help them with it. So people can buy houses. And that homelessness people can buy houses and young people as well.They have many more policies that will help NZ out in the future.

Halve power bills for households with rheumatic fever. It makes it easier for the people who are living these states. Its make life more easier for the people. So they can save their money to get healthier homes so the kids and parents don't get sick. My next paragraph is about how getting rid of National.

Abolish National Standards. If they do this then kids won't know what they have to achieve. Kids wont no what level they are at so they won't know what to achieve. Kid might do stuff that is too easy for them can't see what they are doing on their standards. I am now going to recap what I’ve said.

This is the reason why think the Maori Party should win the election. I feel like Maori Party should be run it because of all the reason i said. I have explained their policies aim to end homelessness by 2020, halve power bills for households with rheumatic fever and strengthen tenants rights.  Are you sure you want to vote National now?

Next steps are: add more punctuation.

Term 2 Book Review

the book is about a boy cold Nate and he is trying to get a girl cold Jenna to like him but she like someone else and his two best friends try helping him teddy and Francis. One of my favorite part was when Nate got mad at teddy because Jenna said hi to him but not to Nate. i feel this is a good book because its easy to read and funny.

I can apply the strategy to problem solving questions

Please complete these two problems. You will need to explain how you got the answer.

Question 1

In our household, there are twice as many cats as humans, with sixty legs in total.

How many cats are there to be fed?

12

Because I kept multiplying it till I got 12 which was 12 x 4 = 48 because cats have 4 legs and half of 12 is 6 that is the amount of human because 6 x 2 = 12 12 + 48 = 60.

Question 2

Three men run a business together.

The proportion of the profit they each get at the end of the month is based on the proportion of the funds they have invested in the business.

The April profit is shared out so that All gets one third, Bob gets one half and Chuck gets one sixth.

In May, Des joins the group, investing half as much as Bob invested.

What share of the profit can Des expect to get?

¼ because there are 4 people and she would expect get ¼

Careers Education C.V. Writing

In CAREERS EDUCATION we have been learning to write a skills based Curriculum Vitae.

A skills based C.V. focuses more on the skills that we have,  rather than our work history.

Three things that I have learned about writing a Curriculum Vitae are:
