Day 3: Social Systems week 4 SLJS -summer learning journey- ctivity 1: Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP)





Day 3: Social Systems

Activity 1: Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP)

In 1996, New Zealand adopted the MMP voting system. In September of 2017 we had a national election. Everyone in New Zealand, over the age of 18, was invited to vote for who they wanted to form the next government in New Zealand. The race was really close and in the end, three different political parties (Labour, New Zealand First and the Green Party), came together to form the new government. It is called a ‘coalition government’ because it includes different people from different political parties.

Imagine that you had to form a coalition government with two other people.  Wh1o would you choose to partner with?



I would form a coalition with my son, Aronui, and with my friend, Amber. Aronui would be a great addition to the coalition because he is funny and kind. He would make us laugh and take care of us. Amber would be great because she is really smart and thoughtful. She is also good at making decisions. I think that we would form a great team. What about you? Who would you choose? Why?

I would form a coalition with my best friend hazel and my best friend laolao. Laolao would be a great addition to the coalition because she is really funny shes the funniest out of all my friends and shes very respectfull and helpful. hazel would be a great addition to the coalition because she is respectfull, kind and responsible .

WEEK 4 DAY 2 -SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY - 1 A Decade of Sport , 2 Sporting Heroes , bounus Shake it Off SLJ 2018


Day 2: A Decade of Sport

Activity 1: Chasing Great
Over the past 17 years New Zealand has experienced a number of sporting highlights, perhaps none larger than the back-to-back Rugby World Cup victories in 2011 and 2015. In both competitions our national rugby team, the All Blacks, was captained by a man named Richie McCaw. He is arguably one of the best rugby players of all time. A movie called Chasing Great was recently created to document his incredible rugby career.

Please watch the trailer for Chasing Great and read about Richie McCaw online. On your blog tell us three things that you learned about Richie that you did not know beforehand. What else would you like to know about Richie?

1.Richard McCaw is captain of the All Blacks and is generally recognised as the world’s best openside flanker. His record as a player and as a captain is without precedent. He became the first All Black to reach 100 Tests in 2011 and by the end of the 2014 season, he had played 137 Tests (coming off the bench just six times), and was Captain in 100 Tests . McCaw reminded the world of his brilliance as a leader when he lifted the Webb Ellis Cup in 2011, battling through a troubling foot injury to claim rugby’s greatest prize.  


2. when he was little he always watched ruby like his eyes were glued to the tv.


3.31 december 1980
full name richard hugh mcaw


Richie McCaw. Richard Hugh McCaw ONZ (born 31 December 1980) is a New Zealand former rugby union player. He captained the national team, the All Blacks, in 110 out of his 148 test matches, and won two Rugby World Cups.






Activity 2: Sporting Heroes

In 2015, a kiwi golfer named Lydia Ko became the youngest woman in the world to reach the #1 ranking.  She was only 17 years old. Many people from here in New Zealand and overseas really admire her and think of her as a modern-day sporting hero. Who is your sporting hero? They can be a famous athlete, or even a member of your family or community. It’s completely up to you.

On your blog tell us about your sporting hero. Who are they? Why are they a hero? Include a photo of them in your blog post.

My sporting hero is Lisa Carrington. She is an incredible rower, and last year she was awarded the prestigious  Lonsdale Cup for her amazing results in 2016! She spends hours training, and I think her commitment to her sport is inspiring.


my sporting hero is lisa carrington to.
Lisa Carrington. . i think  lisa carrington is an amazing rower and In June 2009 she won a bronze medal at the World Cup regatta held in Szeged, Lisa Carrington MNZM (born 23 June 1989) is a New Zealand flatwater canoer. She won gold in the Women's K-1 200 metres at the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2016 Summer Olympics, as well as gold in the same event at the 2011 Canoe Sprint World Championships



Bonus Activity: Shake it Off
In recent years, many New Zealanders have embraced a new form of exercise called Zumba©. It was developed by a man named Alberto Perez who lives in the country of Columbia. He created Zumba by bringing together many different dance styles including: cumbia, mambo, hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, tango, merengue and mambo.

            The Merengue                                      The Tango

Choose one of the dance styles mentioned above and click on the name to read more about it. Once you are done, post three interesting facts about the dance style on your blog. In which country did it originate? Who originally created it?  



BONUS POINTS: 10

The salsa came from cuba The land to many different Latin (spanish) dances and music styles.Salsa represents a mix of Latin musical genres, but its primary component is Cuban dance music. Salsa music is a popular dance music that initially arose in New York City during the1960s. Salsa is the product of various musical genres including Puerto Rican bomba and plena, the Cuban son montuno, guaracha, cha cha chá, mambo, and to a certain extent bolero.

Day 3: It’s All in the Family

Day 3: It’s All in the Family

Activity 1: The More, the Merrier? victorian family.jpg
In the 1800s, most families were pretty big. In fact, many parents had an average of seven to nine children.  Imagine that you were a child in the 1800s and you had nine siblings.

On your blog, please tell us how you would feel. Would you enjoy being a member of such a large family? Why or why not?

 i alredy have a big family but not super big. To be honest i would love to have a big family with lots of siblings i think that because like if you have alot of older siblings they can help when your parents need to pay this and that at the same time but can't also because i'll have more yonger siblings sometimes younger siblings can be so annoying but they do make alot of funny mistakes that you can make fun of just kidding but honestly of course they can be annoying but they are so cute and most of the time funny.


Bonus Activity: Fun Family Facts

Everyone’s family is unique. What makes your family special? Choose three people close to you and ask them what their two favourite things to do in summer are.

Activity 1: Moana
moana.jpg
In late 2016, the movie Moana was released by Disney. It’s a beautiful story about a young Polynesian girl from the fictional island of Motunui, who goes on a big adventure.

Watch the trailer for Moana and then write a summary of the movie on your blog. If you’ve seen the movie, you can include your favourite part! Tell us as much as you can about the movie. What is it about? Who are the main characters in the movie? What do they do in the movie? Where do they go?

Moana movie -


long time ago maui the demi god stole the heart of tefiti th heart of tefiti helps everything grow but now thats its gone every growing and living thing just gets worser and gets destroyed .till moana came
Moana is a Polynesian girl that lives with her family on an island of motunui her dad is the leader so she was next in line to become the new leader. so moana was training to be a new leader till one day they were husking the coconutsand inside of it was black so they began a new row of cocnut trees on the other side of the island then one day they realized that the food and the plants were not growing.

when moana was just a little girl she was chosen by the sea to find maui and return the heart of tefifti but she thought it was just a dream untill grandma told her it wasn't and that she was there when the sea gave moana the heart .then her grandma tala showed her canoes , waka and boats moanas grandma told her to play the drums mosns played the drums then she saw that along time ago that they were voyagers and she fond out why her father hid them so she ran to her father showed him the heart but he didnt belive her later on that night grandma tala got sick moana knew that her grama was gonna past away she was so sad she started to cry. grandma tala told her to return the heart of tefiti and find maui to help her take the heart back but moana said she can't because she wanted to stay with her grandma tala so tala gave her necklace to moana and she putted the heart of tefiti inside and said there is nowhere where u can go that i won't be. so moana ran and went to her home and packed some fruit and food her mum followed her and cryed but helped moana then they said goodbye moana got a conoe and she was on her way but she didn't know how to control it. TO BE CONTINUED

movie about:
An adventurous teenager sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana meets the once-mighty demigod Maui, who guides her in her quest to become a master way-finder. Together they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds. Along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she always sought: her own identity.


my favorite part was when she found hei hei in her canoe and when she met maui.
