Celebrating a new year is important for everyone so why not give us another day to celebrate Matariki. Imagine having to work on one of the most important days to you how would you feel? you would be upset. So why not let everyone have the day off it is only fear.

Do now week 6 Anyone who lives in Aotearoa New Zealand should be allowed to vote in federal election

 Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte


 Should voting in the Federal election be allowed at all ages? Considering that we have never been able to vote maybe not all ages, but from 16 up would be a sensible idea because around that age you are, more responsible than you would at the age of 12. So maybe lowering the age could be an idea but not having everyone votingFor example, an 11-year-old would be very influenced by how the person talks and acts but not what rules/laws they put in place, and with that, it may be the opposite of what they wanted to happen to improve New Zealand. To restate my opinion that not all ages should be able to vote but only some.

English Eassy

 Kia ora, bonjour, Hola, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa, Nǐn hǎo, Salve and Zdravstvuyte


In English, for the past few weeks, we have done some research on an influential person and write why they are influential this is what I have done

Jacinda Arden, who is she? Why should she be the most influential in New Zealand? Let me tell you. At the age of fourteen, she had written a CV and was looking for a job that shows that she was a hard worker from a young age. She was looking for jobs at local shops for after school jobs. Later on, in 2007 she was elected president of the International Union Of Socialist, this position took her to destinations such as Algeria, China, India, Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon. In 2011 she ran for the seat representing Auckland Central, this was held by at the time New Zealand’s brightest young stars, Nikki Kaye of the New Zealand National Party.


At the age of 18, she was introduced to politics by her Aunty Marie. Her aunty Marie was a close relative to her and when Jacinda was elected she cried. She took part in her first election around 2001, she also worked as a researcher in the office of Prime Minister Helen Clark. Before working in the office she graduated from the University of Waikato. She got a degree in politics and public relations.     



Being one of the youngest elected prime ministers would be a great achievement. She was 37 when she was elected, beating the previous youngest prime minister which was 38. 150 years later, the record was broken. Thinking about it, the work that she would have to put in. Two years later in 2019 working as prime minister, she had to step up, like a true leader and speak out for the Muslim community, to stand by them.


With all this information she has proven to be a very influential person.
