Waitangi Day

The Treaty of Waitangi

3 facts about The Treaty of Waitangi                       

- The Treaty was signed on 6 February 1840 at Karaka Bay, Auckland.                                                            - Hone Heke & Captain William Hobson signed the Treaty first.                                                                      - The Treaty was created in English then was translated in Maori.

3 different point of views:           

Maori Perspective is Positive. They say that Waitangi Day brings people together as well as being filled with joy & laughter. This allows people to fellowship, socialise & acknowlege their past ancestors & chiefs who came to a conclusion to make an agreement with the British Empire. 

Pakeha Perspective is Negative. Mike thinks that Waitangi Day is a waste of time and says that there is no point in celebrating. This is because it is filled with abuse, anger and ignorants. In other words, Mike also said that if he became Prime Minister that he would be tempted to flag Waitangi Day.

My Perspective is Positive. I think that Waitangi Day is not a waste of time and should be acknowleged throughout New Zealand. This is especially because New Zealand is not our land as this land was orginially owned by the people of Aotearoa. This means that students should be educated about this day & be taught more information about it. 

Why is it important to learn about the Treaty?                                                                               Waitangi Day should be celebrated because this is an important day for the people of Aotearoa. This should not be taken lightly as Waitangi Day was the day that Maori Chiefs & British empire came to an agreement about taking care of Aotearoa for the future generations to come.

Technology Term 2

 This week back at technology has been hectic !

2 more weeks of Robotics with Mr Krishna and then we rotate, this week's subject or topic was different for us year 8s and year 7s because we normally do the same topics together but for this week Mr Krishna wanted us to have our own topic because we had already learnt and completed that task. So for our topic we had to used a site called Tinkercad, this site was a lot of fun and I also learnt some things while completing the tasks that were assigned on the site.

Our first task for this week wasn't really a task it was getting to know the site better so that we know how to use it because we usually use mblock, but then following with the first task we had to write hi,welcome or our name onto the micro-bit that activity was so cool and fun completing. Our second tasks which was the last task because we didn't have enough time to complete one of our other tasks. Our second task was called beating heart basically we had to watch a video of showing us how to make our micro-bit have its heart beating, this activity was pretty fun and cool whilst completing it with my friend.
