Election

At school we've been learning about the election because it's coming up. I learned that there are around 120 members of parliament. (MPs) and that representatives are chosen every three years. New Zealand is divided into 70 geographical areas called electorates or seats and each one is represented by a MP. I also learnt that you get two votes. One is the party vote and it's to choose who is the government. The second vote is the electorate vote, that is how the MP of your electorate is chosen. But the most important vote is the party vote. Elections are always held on a Saturday, which is called polling day. The votes are cast in secret in polling booths which are usually in places such as schools and church halls.
 That is all I can remember about the Elections.

Sports

My favourite sport is badminton and I go to a badminton hall every Friday to practice. Most of the time I go with Millie, but sometimes it's just me and my sister. I started playing badminton when I was 7 years old. I used to hate it because every time I stopped concentrating, The coach would make me run around the whole courts once, which is 400m. Or sometimes I even have to do it twice. Now I really enjoy it because I find it fun.Especially when I go with Millie.

Production

For the production I am going quite well with the dance it's not that hard, plus nearly all my best friends are also in the Cantina scene that I'm in.  I don't have any lines for the production so I don't need to worry about trying to memorise anything.
I've nearly finished making my costume, I just need to do a bit more painting. My friends have been helping me a lot and giving me lots of support.
