PEEL Paragraph

Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS.

Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS because we are independent workers and we are always trying our best. Firstly, when we are given something to do we finish it no matter how we finish as long as it is finished, for example our homework we can finish it early to get ahead in class to do more work. Secondly, we are always putting our all in, for example, in Ultimate Relay we will try our best and win. Thirdly, we try our best to strike fear into all our competitors so we can over through them in all competitions, for example we do our Rimu chant as proud and as loud as we can. Over all that is why I think Rimu is the best syndicate in TIS, because we work as one and try our best to thrive to the top.

PEEL Paragraph

Being a mum is easy.

Being a mum is easy, you only have to clean your house and look after your children. Firstly, the easiest time to take care of your kids is when they are about 10 - 11, ages above 11 should me a bit more mature and should be easier to control. Secondly, cleaning the house that includes vacuuming, hanging up the washing and also cooking, that's where your kids come in you can ask them politely to help you and maybe if they don't probably just ban their xbox or PS3. At last you can use your polite manners to ask your oldest to look after your children because you should "Trust them." If your kids get into a fight you should never go in as nice mum always go in a as the mean mum because if you are a nice mum they won't take it seriously. Wow, on second thought being a mum is actually very hard, I think my mum does a wonderful job even though she banned me off my xbox.

PEEL

Mr Diver is a successful principal because he is always on task and is very intelligent and not too strict. Firstly, he gets everything finished on the day is is due. Mr Brian Diver takes the time to leave a comment on all of the students reports. Secondly, he knows almost all of the 1200 students at our schools names that takes a lot intelligence to memorise all those names. Even though Mr Diver is a principal and is supposed to be strict he tries not to, Mr Diver is actually a very kind person if it wasn't for him some of the students would be soaking wet. He let most of the students use his umbrella when they where getting wet. Overall, Mr Brian Diver is a very intelligent and on task principal. I think the Board of Trustees chose the right guy for the job!

MMP (Mixed Member Proportional)

The MMP system is the voting system that we are currently using in New Zealand. This system allows each voter to have 2 votes. The first vote is for the political party the voter chooses. This is called the party vote and it decides the total number of seats each political party gets in Parliament. The second vote is to choose the MP the voter wants to represent the electorate they live in. This is called the electorate vote. The candidate who gets the most votes wins. They do not have to get more than half the votes. What other countries has MMP been used in? MMP has been used is Germany for more than sixty years. What are some other names for MMP? MMP is sometimes known as AMS in the United Kingdom, AMS stands for Additional Member System. Parties are allowed to have something called a coalition, a coalition is a temporarily alliance. So all votes each party gets will add up and be the same votes for them as a group.
