Hi everyone!
For today's post I'm going to be writing about a political news event which has recently occurred. As you all probably know Peter Dunne has resigned and is no longer part of the election. Peter was the leader of the United Future party, he resigned just 4 and a half weeks away from the election. He is the third out of three party leaders to resign this month. Andrew Little from Labour resigned as well as Metiria Turei who was a co-leader for the Greens. Peter decided to pull out of the election because it looked as if he was going to loose his seat in Parliament. Peter's opponent was Greg O'Connor from the Labour party. Greg was in front of Peter on a poll with 48% and Peter on 34%. Peter Dunne was the longest running MP of Ohariu in Parliament. He started as an MP in 1984 and ended in 2017.
Three things that I would like to learn about in class to do with our Parliament/election topic are:
-More on how Parliament works
-Different buildings in Parliament
-History of Parliament
See you guys next week for another post!

Art week preparation
Hey guys!
This term in week 7 we have art week! So far I have done about 5 or 6 pieces of art. My favourite was probably my mixed media art. In our mixed media art we had to cut out drawings, patterns and quotes then we layered them onto a piece of paper. I didn't want to do a devil, evil-ish sort of theme so instead I did angels, crowns and the nicer stuff like that. The mixed media was my favourite because we got to do practically anything we wanted but it just had to have layers.
I have done quite a lot of work on Claudia our dragon. We made her body out of chicken wire which was quite painful on our fingers. It took a long time to make her body shape right but then we had to add on the extra parts like horns, spikes and claws. Finally we are starting the papier mache today.
The Jerusalem art was also quite fun. I liked it because I enjoy painting.
For the Jerusalem art a technique that I used was using different colours to make it look more effective. I mixed some yellows and browns and gold and it looks better without just one colour.
I'm really excited for art week!
Bye!

Movie review!
Hi everyone!
Today I will be reviewing the last movie that I saw. That movie was Hunt for the Wilderpeople! I know that practically everyone saw it ages ago when it first came out and I was super late watching it but oh well.
The main character was Ricky Baker. He was quite a naughty kid who couldn't be controlled. He came from the city but then the police gave him to a couple who lived near the bush. He soon settled in with his new family and grew to like them. Sadly the wife passed away and the husband wasn't allowed to look after Ricky anymore. Ricky didn't want to get given back to the police so he ran away to the bushes.
It is such a good movie and I love how they made it a bit dramatic! I love how it's a New Zealand movie and how they filmed it in the New Zealand bushes.
I totally recommend that you watch this movie (if you haven't already).
That's all for today's post, see you next week!

Book groups
Hi guys!
Today I'm going to be reflecting on how book groups has been going so far. I got put in 'The Silver Sword' and so far it's a really good book.
I think that my group has been working well together. Mainly everyone has been contributing and sharing our thoughts about what has happened so far. We always have something to talk about while staying on topic. I have been contributing to my group by asking questions and sharing my opinion. The Silver Sword is a really good book and I love how at the end of the chapters most of the time there is a cliffhanger which makes you want to keep on reading. The book is based in the war and the Nazis are taking people away from their families and ruining buildings. Basically this family they have all gotten taken away and they are all trying to escape from the Nazis and find the rest of their family.
I love this book so far and I would definitely recommend it to people who like books based on the war and also adventure.
Bye!
