Move Ya' Body Workbook - #2



For the past 4 weeks we had to find a new skill that we had never done before.
My group decided to do, "Double Dutch." This was quite hard at first and still is.
But we tried our best and this is our workbook that we had for this skill.

2017 Inquiry Project



This is my 2017 Term 2 Inquiry Project. My group figured that there was barley
any games in the common room at school for people to play. So.... we decided
to solve that problem by making 4 more board games for people to play. We made,
Chess, Checkers, Marble Run and Ball Toss. We used a lot of materials to create everything,
but me accomplished our goals. This presentation includes all of the materials we needed, the
steps on our we created it, and what our project is about. Take a look and I hope that you enjoy.

What is Parliament?

What is Parliament?
If you've watched the news on television, you may have heard reporters say, 
“Today in Parliament …” or “Parliament has passed a new law …”. You've 
probably seen photographs of Parliament Buildings in Wellington, or you 
may have even visited them. But do you know what happens there? What is 
Parliament and what does it do? 
Our Parliament has two parts: the Sovereign (the King or Queen) and the 
House of Representatives. In New Zealand, the Sovereign is usually represented 
by the Governor-General. The House of Representatives is made up of about 120 
elected members of Parliament (MPs). The members of Parliament represent 
the views and concerns of the people of New Zealand, which means we are a 
representative democracy.
As well as representing the people, some members of Parliament form 
the Government (or Executive) and are responsible for running the country. 
Parliament also has the job of making new laws, updating old laws, and 
approving decisions about how tax money will be spent for the benefit of all 
New Zealanders. In addition, Parliament has opportunities to question the 
Government’s actions to keep it “accountable” for the decisions it makes.
The Governor-General, on behalf of the Sovereign, acts as New Zealand’s 
head of state. The Governor-General’s role in the work of Parliament is to 
sign off new laws by giving them the Royal assent, open Parliament at the 
beginning of a new term, and close it when there is to be a general election. 
The Governor-General is chosen by the Prime Minister and is appointed by the 
Sovereign, and carries out these responsibilities on advice from the Government.

What is The Commonwealth all about?

What are the Commonwealth Games? First of all they are called the Friendly Games because the 
competition is against individual sportsmen and women, but not between countries. The first ever Commonwealth Games were held in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. There are always athletics swimming, playing the rugby sevens, netball, lawn bowls and even more events than you can imagine. In the Commonwealth Games there are 71 countries altogether. The Commonwealth Games are held every four years. Most recently, the 2010   games took place in New Delhi, India, and during 2006 the games were in Melbourne, Australia. The 2014 Commonwealth Games will be hosted by Glasgow, Scotland.

How do you Become an athlete?
In the Commonwealth games there are lots of amazing athletes and some of their names are:
Valerie Adams, Usain Bolt, Lauren Boyle, Josh Taylor, Eric Finau and there are lots of other athletes. To become a really good athlete to be in the Commonwealth Games you need to think about what sport you should be in and once you have done that you need to train. So pretend I picked boxing. I would need to be strong, fit and I will have to eat healthy food everyday and drink lots of water, but if I was doing gymnastics I would still have to eat healthy food everyday and  drink lots of water as well, but I would also need to be skinny, fit and confident.
That is what you need to do to be a good athlete no matter what sport you choose. So it is all up to you.

The sports of the Commonwealth are:

Shotput, Lawn bowls, Shooting, Sprinting, Swimming, Gymnastics Artistic, Heptathlon, High Jump, Netball, Rugby Sevens, Table Tennis, Squash, Weightlifting, Hockey, Judo, Wrestling, Boxing, Gymnastics Rhythmic, Triathlon, Powerlifting, Cycling Track, Cycling Mountain Bike, Badminton and Athletics.

What are the Commonwealth of Nations?
The Commonwealth of Nations is an intergovernmental organisation of 53 member states that were mostly territories of the former British Empire. The Commonwealth operates by intergovernmental consensus of the member states, organised through the Commonwealth Secretariat, and non-governmental organisations, organised through the Commonwealth Foundation.
The Commonwealth dates back to the mid 20th century with the decolonisation of the British Empire through increased self-governance of its territories. It was formally constituted by the London Declaration in 1949, which established the member states as "free and equal". The symbol of this free association is Queen Elizabeth II who is the Head of the Commonwealth. The Queen is also the monarch of 16 members of the Commonwealth, known as Commonwealth realms. The other members of the Commonwealth have different persons as head of state: 32 members are republicans and five members are monarchies with a different monarch.
What are the Commonwealth of Values?
The Commonwealth values, which include the promotion of democracy, human rights, good governance, the rule of law, individual liberty, egalitarianism, free trade, multilateralism and world peace, emerged in independence movements and the struggles for self-government.
In the immediate post-war period, the Commonwealth served as a kind of facilitator and forum for decolonisation, helping independence to be achieved in the former British colonies in a comparatively peaceful and friendly manner. As a result, most of the newly independent states opted to join the association. The first Commonwealth Secretary-General, Mr Arnold Smith, described this decision as at once pragmatic and forward-looking.
