Inquiry

LI: To decide which political party will get your vote by making an informed choice

To decide which political party I would vote for Green party I read a summary of the policies each party wants to introduce should they win the election and the right to form a government to run NZ. Doing this allowed me to make an informed decision.
If I was 18 I would vote for Green party because they are helping NZ's Pasifika. This means if Green party Won the election in my electorate Mark Simiona would be our member of parliament and someone would become the Prime Minister.

I'm looking forward to reading Bad Guys because I want to find out what adventures they go on in this story. Thank you Duffy Books in Schools for the books for all the PBS kids.

Vincent Van Gogh Timeline

 LI: To create a timeline to show the life of Vincent Van Gogh.

My group worked collaboratively using Padlet to create a timeline about the life of Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh was an artist from the post impressionist movement which meant he liked to paint still life paintings that captured a moment in time. We found it really interesting that while he was alive he didn't sell many paintings but in 1990, 100 years after his death, a painting by him sold for $82.5 million!
