training college, travel, or start working. There are so many

In 2099 you would be carrying a little square piece of paper
which is your home. You just place it down on the ground,
say the password and the magic will happen. The piece of
paper will all of a sudden grow into a luxury, smelling nice,
edible, big house

Activity 1: Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP)
In 1996, New Zealand adopted the MMP voting system. In September
of 2017 we had a national election. Everyone in New Zealand, over the
age of 18, was invited to vote for who they wanted to form the next
government in New Zealand. The race was really close and in the end,
three different political parties (Labour, New Zealand First and the
Green Party), came together to form the new government. It is called a
‘coalition government’ because it includes different people from different
political parties.

Imagine that you had to form a coalition government with two other people
. Who would you choose to partner with?
. Who would you choose to partner with?
I would form a coalition with my son, Aronui, and with my friend, Amber.
Aronui would be a great addition to the coalition because he is funny and
kind. He would make us laugh and take care of us. Amber would be great
because she is really smart and thoughtful. She is also good at making
decisions. I think that we would form a great team. What about you? Who
would you choose? Why?

Activity 2: Migration
Over the past few decades, there has been a huge rise in the number
of people coming to New Zealand to live and/or travel. I was one of
those people! In fact, I moved with my family to New Zealand in
2010 and I am so glad that I did. It’s a pretty amazing place to call
home! At the moment I live about 10 minutes from three stunning
beaches and a beautiful national park.

Bonus Activity: Modern Learning Environments
Over the past few years, a number of schools have changed
the way that they teach. Instead of one teacher working in
one classroom with one group of students, some schools have
built huge classrooms where many teachers work together to
teach a big group of students. This is called a ‘Modern
Learning Environment’ (MLE).

Interesting thing was how they keep there promise from a
long time ago saying that they will plant tomatoes, peas and
more. After a decade or two there were all these plants and
vegetables planted. Also it is amazing that the show has been
going on for 52 yrs now. That really is a very long time.
Challenging thing is shaving the sheep's wool, planting
plants and vegetable and also waking up early in the
morning just to do all these stuff. Also waking up early
to work at the animals

Activity 1: Chasing Great
Over the past 17 years New Zealand has experienced a number
of sporting highlights, perhaps none larger than the back-to-
back Rugby World Cup victories in 2011 and 2015. In both
competitions our national rugby team, the All Blacks, was
captained by a man named Richie McCaw. He is arguably
one of the best rugby players of all time. A movie called

her commitment to her sport is inspiring.

The Mambo dance originated in Cuba where there were substantial
settlements of Haitians. In the back country of Haiti, the "Mambo"
is a voodoo priestess, who serves the villagers as counselor, healer,
exorcist, soothsayer, spiritual advisor, and organizer of public
entertainment. However, there is not a folk dance in Haiti called
the Mambo and the song was made from Cachao
