Elections - Kahoot

For our last election task we had to create a kahoot quiz with at least 10 question based on the elections. Thank you to Fraidons group for sharing their kahoot with LS2. One of the questions we had to answer was who is the leader for the Labour party. I think learning about elections is amazing and enjoyable.

Political Party Leaders

For the election activities I have created a DLO about the Political Party Leaders. I was researching about Bill English, Jacinda Ardern, James Shaw, Winston Peters, Marama Fox and David Seymour. I learnt what Party they represent and information about them. I learnt Winston Peters was a former member of parliament in the National Party in 1978. This task was very interesting because I didn't know that David Seymour was the youngest Political Leader.

Election Results 2017

Today LS2 was discussing about the what a coalition is and how it works. Tiava, Zane, Mataio and I learnt  that a coalition is when the little group of parties is aligned with the bigger parties to gain more seats for them to become the Prime Minister. For example the Green Party has joined the Labour Party to have more seats in Parliament. Currently there is no Prime Minister of NZ because NZ First has not chosen their coalition. 

Democracy In New Zealand

For the last activity for our Elections task I created a DLO on Democracy in New Zealand. In my DLO I have made a flow chart. I have included the definition of Democracy and the site I got the definition from. I also included what "Demo" means and "Cracy" means. I learnt that Democracy is originated in Greece. 

Election - Helen Clark

For our second Election activity we had to research a Prime Minister from the Past. I did Helen Clark. I learnt that Helen Clark was New Zealand's fifth longest-serving Prime Minister. I think Helen Clark has the a splendid and proud leader because she was the first Labour Leader to win three consecutive elections. The DLO above shows you a profile of Helen Clark and how she changed New Zealand. 

Election - Jigsaw

For the election that is happening now every intermediate students are studying about election and what happens in a election. We have learnt all the parties that is entered in the election . In LS2 we have been working collaboratively on a activity called Election Jigsaw. We had to name all the political parties and name the leader, the electorate (what place they are representing), a picture of them and the picture of the party logo. For example Nationals leader is Bill English his electorate is Cultha-South land. LS2 have found out that the two main parties are Labour and National.
