below is a photo from a book that I read and Asafo on the left and Noah on the right are arguing about going out of the bunker after the nuclear blast form two weeks Noah said that they should wait till they run out of food, but Asafo said that they should go out of the bunker now instead of waiting till they run out of food because they only have a couple of days to find food and water otherwise they would die of starvation or thirst, this means they did not agree on the same thing.

Political Decision making

 Hi guys and today I will be showing you what we have been learning about the parliament.

The government have five main priorities.


  • 1 to represent the people of New Zealand.
  • 2 to provide a government.
  • 3 to hold the government to account.
  • 4 to create laws.
  • 5 to improve how tax pay money is spent. 

Then the people of Aotearoa get to vote twice, one for who they want to represent them locally, and two for which party they want governing  New Zealand. 

The party vote determines each number of seats and the government is formed by party or parties, in that house.

Then the prime minister selects mp's from that party to become ministers, they are given responsibilities to manage health,

Police, education, and transport.

The governments job is to run the country, purpose policy and laws and choose how tax pay money is going to be spent.

The  Oppositions  job is to hold the governments account and provide an alternative government waiting.

In my class we made a class treaty we split up in little groups and got a piece of paper and wrote some things for the treaty on it then shared it around with the other groups and they got a chance to rearrange the wording of the ideas, that is how they do it in the government.

 The Orchestra was created by a man called Claudio Monteverdi on may 15 1567 then he sadly passed away in November 1643.

Counting on the beat, Ukulele

In Hurumanu 2 we have been learning about the Ukulele.

The Ukulele was created in Hawaii by Spanish people that couldn't

find enough wood to make a real guitar so they made a smaller version and that was when the Ukulele was created.



There are also different sizes of Ukulele and there are electric Ukuleles as well.

Most Ukuleles only have four strings on it, and the string are made of nylon so they are softer for your fingers and they wont hurt as much.

There are all sorts of varieties of Violin like,

  • Tenor,
  • Baritone,
  • Concert,
  •  and Soprano. 
You can make Ukuleles out of anything like a surf board or maybe even a random table I think, the Ukulele is reffered  to jumping flea 
in Hawaiian
