Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS because we are a team. Firstly, we do a lot of fitness and actives and we stay fit. We do sports like dodge ball, rock climbing, multi sport and we just added a new game ninja dodge ball. Secondly, we look after each other and the other houses. We dont put down anyone or any house who ever they are and we use the stars too. Lastly, we get all of our work done on time. We work hard during class and we do have fun but doing our work at the same time. And these are the reasons why Rimu is the best syndicate.

PEEL

Being a mum is not easy. Firstly, it can be annoying to get everything ready. Having a birthday party or just having their friends over, you have to get everything ready and that can be a big hassle. Secondly, when your kids make a mess they dont clean anything up so you have to do it for them. This can also be a hassle because you are always doing things for them and never for yourself. Lastly, kids are always screaming and making to much noise. When you are trying to get some sleep or even just read the paper you cant concentrate because it is too loud. As you can see it is very hard being a mum.

Peel Paragraph

Mr Diver is a successful principal because he always works hard. First he is a great worker because he works hard on helping us get better at all out school work. By stopping us when we get to school and asks us how we are going in our school work. Secondly he always makes the school keep clean and does not let anything get dirty. By having big bins all around the school he keeps it tidy from al the rubbish. Lastly he works hard on up coming things. He does this by talking to people that he needs to, to get things sorted such as the Aims Games and our school camp.  Overall he is a successful principal and he works hard all the time.

Mixed Member Proportional

MMP is the system we currently use to elect our Parliament.

It is a proportional system, which means that the proportion of votes a party gets will largely reflect the number of seats it has in parliament.

Each voter gets two votes.

The first vote is for the political party the voter chooses. This is called the party vote and largely decides the total number of seats each political party gets in Parliament.

if you dont get over 5% then you dont get any seats.

We lost our passport trying to get on a plane here we dropped our passport when we were going over the pacific ocean. I have had to go the police and I have been to all of the shops in the pacific ocean. My passport was blue and it looked like the beach. We were looking around one day for it and we saw someone following us we though it looked a bit strange so we went up to it and said ooobolo bsf b which means why are you following us. Oh well we just punched him in the face instead. We were walking away and we both tripped up on something we picked it up and took it with us to see what it was. Then we walked to our house and saw a potato shop.
