Governing topics

What is a governing topic

Governing topics or policies are actions that political parties want to put into action when they get into power.

There are 2 topic that are important to me which are Transport and Infrastructure and education.

Transport and infrastructure

Fixing how people move around the country and how buildings are organised.

Education

Is when you learn new things such as Rounding ( Maths skill).

 I voted for transport and infrastructure because it's important because my parents use vehicles on a daily basis. I voted for education because I'm still young and I'm still developing my mind set.

Rounding

Rounding is finding the nearest ten, hundred, thousand.

Addition and division are both strategies the are used for rounding. To round the person needs to find the mean, to find the mean get a set of numbers like 5,7,1,9,3 and then add them altogether which would make the number 25. Then divide them by the amount of numbers there are which makes 5.

Now this is were the rounding begins, if the number is 5-9 that makes the number go up. If the number 0-4 it makes the number go down. For example 21.85 then it becomes 21.9

Risk assessment

First we recapped on what a hazard and a risk is. A hazard is a object that can cause harm and a risk is a possibility that a hazard can cause harm.We also recapped the risk levels which are low, likely, possible, elevated and extreme.

Then we wrote a safety plan on activity called risk assessment. For this task we wrote the class year level, the number of helpers, the number of students and the location. For every 10 students there is 1 helper.

Then we answered questions like what could go wrong?, how we could prevent this?

Lastly we wrote a emergency plan/solution is were a risk overcomes a much serious situation.

Rewriting a Narrative

LI: To rewrite a narrative

Rewriting is where you take a small part of story and change using your ideas. The three things that you change is the character, where the character lives and the Gruffalos favourite thing to eat. 

The part I changed was the fox scene. I changed the fox to a tiger because they are both predators. 
I made tiger live in a cave because caves are cold and tigers love cold temperature places. Lastly I made the Gruffalos favourite food tiger bolognese.

   

Making connections

LI: To identify and describe connections

Text to self is something that happened in the book which has happened to you. For example:In the of the Gruffalo the mouse was quite scared when he first met the Gruffalo.

Text to text is something that happened in the book that also happened in another book. For example: in the Gruffalo the mouse goes on a long journey to find nut. In the story Rahi and the Patupaiarehe, Rahi goes on a long journey to find his wife.

Text to world is where a text links to something we all do in the world. For example 

In the story of the Gruffalo, the female squirrel found nuts for her kids to eat. Parents around the world but food for their kids to eat.

 

Commenting/ Carson's blog post

For commenting I decided to comment Carson's blogpost about the legend of Rahi and Te ara (reading). The dialogic question I asked was: Have you played the game Kia o Rahi?
I asked this question because the game is based of the book. The one thing I liked about the blog post is the way he summarised it.

Basic facts boxes

For basic facts I took the speed demon challenge with multiplication. My time was 4 minutes and 55 seconds. I  got no mistakes but I needed to be more faster.
