This term we have been learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. We've learnt that the treaty written in English was different to the treaty written in Māori. Did you know a missionary, Henry Williams, and his son, Edward, translated the treaty into Māori in ONE night? We wrote our own class treaty and made sure everyone understood what they signed.
Today we were sorting out the timeline of events before and after the treaty was signed. We were given a pile of cards with dates and facts. Then we had to put it in order and then google the facts to see if we got the timeline right. It was fun working in groups because everyone pitched in and some knew facts that others didn't so we learned from our peers.
Hi Room 1!

I didn't know that the treaty was translated in one night, they must of worked really quickly.
Have fun with your learning this year!
