Parliament.

NZ Identity: Parliament.

As part of our New Zealand Identity unit we have been learning all about New Zealand Parliament.

Here is a link to the online modelling book for this unit if learning.

We have learned all about the different roles that people have in parliament.

Key roles in Parliament Activity ( link your doc here)

Some things that I have found interesting are:

1. That there is 120 seats in parliament and I though there was less
2. The process that a bill goes though to become a law
3. That there is a Governor General and they are the queen's representative 

My next step is to see parliament in reality this/ next year on my Wellington trip.

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:

• That the prime minister sits in the 4th seat on the right.
• You get given a seat on how many votes you get in the elections.
• National sits on the right side

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