My Political Party Campaign

Greetings everyone,

Today I will be talking about my Political Party Campaign and be answering some political questions for our school political election.

1.What is the most important thing you learnt during this project and why?

I learnt that you must work as a team otherwise it is very hard to get any work done.

2.What do you wish you had spent more time on or done differently?

Being more organised at the start, for example it took as about 3 weeks to decide on a purpose.

3.What part of the project did you do your best work on and why?

I would have to say being able to problem solve on the spot, and coming up with ideas, because say for example we couldn't think of a policy I would come up with ideas that would help us think of one.

4.What was the most enjoyable part of this project and why?

It would have to be campaigning, because I felt really confident and proud when I talked about my group.

5.What was the least enjoyable part of this project and why?

Having to cover for people that would do no work and get us behind, because then people would have to do more work then they should have to.

6.How could we change this project to make it better for next time?

Make sure everyone is on task and not mucking around.

I hope everyone enjoyed my blog today and what do you think you would be the best at in a party? (Let me know in the comments)

Politician Visit

Greetings everyone,
Today I will be talking about our Politician visits.

Now as you know we have political groups and we are doing an election to see what political group gets elected.

So with this, the teachers thought why don't we get Politicians to come in, so they did just that. They got Jo Hayes and Nicky Wagner from National. Duncan Webb from the Labour Party. Now it was amazing listening to these people talk about how to have a good Party and how win an election or even how to campaign.

Nicky Wagner;

I loved listening to Nicky Wagner she said so many good facts about how to run a successful campaign for example, she said based on what party you are in you should wear a clothing item that represents that party. Nicky Wagner wear blue shoes when she goes campaigning obviously because she is in the National Party.

Jo Hayes ;

I loved listening to Jo Hayes because she was saying about how you always need to be brave no matter the consequence.

Duncan Webb;

The reason why I loved Duncan web is because he told that if you are going to put your time into this you might as well do it well. For example, he even quit his normal job just so it meant he could commit to trying to be mp.

I hope everyone enjoyed reading my blog and what role do you think you would be in a party? (Tell me in the comments)

Speech Reflection

Greetings everyone, today I will be talking about my speech and how I went.

So how our speeches worked is that first we present our speech to our home base, then if we were one of the three best our of twenty five then we can go through to the final.  If we were then in the top three again we can go to the big competition in Christchurch, to represent our school.
The rules are that the time of the speech must be between 3.45 min-4.15.

So my speech went alright, I got into the finals, and my eye contact was very good in my opinion, but unfortunately I was not in the top three, therefore I wasn't able to represent the school

What kind of speech would you do?

Computational Thinking Skills

Greetings everyone, today I will be talking about my computational thinking skills. I will also be talking about how I use them, why they are important and when I use them.

1. How do I use them?
I use them by ordering/analyzing data and creating solutions to tough problems.

2. Why is computational thinking important?
It's important because it helps you order things, analyse data, be able to solve tough problems
and be able to think outside of the box.

3.When do I use them?
I use them when I work on problem solving and when trying to order data.

How do you use computational thinking skills and when do you use them? Tell me in the comments!
