Parliament

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned are NZ parliament are:

• John Key sits on the 4th seat on the right
• The Speaker is the Boss
• National sits on the right side of the speaker

Here is the link to my compare and contrast map explaining the difference between democracy and dictatorship.

This term we have been learning all about the Marae. We have learned that The Marae

• The Marae is an important focal point for the community.

• The Marae is a place where people can express their values with dignity.
• There are many kawa ( protocols) that prevail on the marae.
• Marae kawa (protocols) can differ between maraes and iwi.
