To get any seats in parliament a party must reach at least 5% or more of the the party vote or with an electric seat.If 30% of us vote for Labour then it will fill 40% of the all the seats in parliament,If 10% of us vote for National the it will fill up 10% of the seats.

Edit Writing

Today we are having a writing test, In this writing test I am going to be writing about a special place that I like to go to.

My special place is called Pt England Beach. Every now and then me and my family go to the Pt England Beach. The last time we went to the beach was……. A few weeks ago. There are lots of things to do at the beach for example you could swim,fish,pick shells and other cool things.

The thing that I find special about the beach is all the fun and cool things I can do with my family and even my friends. Something else I find special about the beach it how much time I spend with my family.

When me and my family were at the beach we played a lot of games. My favourite game that I liked playing was dodge ball. After we played sports we got changed into our togs and went for a swim.

As we were swimming we saw a lady on a horse. I jumped out the water and asked the lady if I could pet the horse. And the lady said yes.”What is its name” I said “her name is diamond” the lady said. What a beautiful name I thought.

Well after we said “Hi” to the horse I stayed out of the water for a bit (oh yes) that's another thing I find special about the beach is getting to see all the sea creatures and the nice people. While I was out of the water I was building sand castles and collecting shells to decorate my sand castle.

When that day was finally over I came home thinking about what a special place Pt England beach is. And i will never forget how special it is.

Well thank you for reading my writing hope you liked it. Let me know below what you thought of my text. And maybe chuck in what your special place is.
