Trailing Timeline of Te Tiriti o Waitangi

 

Hey people, 

Hope you have had an awesome day, 

Today we have yet again been looking at Te Tiriti O Waitangi. I am so far finding this topic very interesting and informative. I enjoy looking back into the history of our country and finding out about how our country was formed with all the different people, plants, and creatures. 

Waitangi day is about looking back into our past and seeing how the culture of New Zealand was created. About the Declaration of Independence, The Treaty itself, and the Waitangi Tribunal. Also, the 27 year-long series of battles (the NZ Wars) about how the treaty was not translated correctly and the tribes were both thinking different things. 

Our task today was to make a timeline on Canva about what happened over the last couple hundred years. We had to include; all the different years' key events, a small description of what happened in each event, and a few images. Here is mine:

Did you find Te Tiriti O Waitangi interesting? Do you like history?

Hope you learnt something!

Te Tragic Tiriti O Waitangi

 

Hey people, 

Hope you have had an amazing weekend full of fun!

For inquiry, we have been looking into our New Zealand history and what happened. So far we have learnt about Te Tiriti O Waitangi (the treaty of Waitangi). I now know about what happened between the Maori and Pakeha, how the treaty was translated incorrectly, and the war between the two tribes. 

Our task was to create a digital presentation on Voki. Voki is a website where you choose a character to be talking, then pick a background, then clothing or accessories for that character. You then paste in some writing no more than 600 characters long and then change the voice/language to something that is suitable. 

We did this about Waitangi writing from either the Pakeha's perspective or the Maori's perspective. I did mine on the Maori's. Here is my presentation: 

Hope you learnt something!

Eventful Exclusion at the Disco

 

Hey peoples, 

Hope you are enjoying your week so far!

Every Wednesday after technology we look into KOS (keeping ourselves safe). Today we were talking about times where you felt/were responsible for someone else. This isn't just physically but emotionally. We were given two scenarios to choose from to do our activity on. Here is the scenario I chose:

One night you went to a disco with a whole bunch of people from school. There were a few girls hanging out having a great time, and two other girls who were having a good chat to one another, one of them had a lazy eye. The few girls pulled the girl with out the lazy eye towards them and turned their back on the other girl. The one that got pulled away reluctantly stayed with them...

This was drawn on a comic with an empty spot on the side. We had to draw what we thought should happen next and colour the whole comic in. I drew the girl leaving the group and going over to hang out with her friend. This is because she would have felt very emotional and upset. I don't think trying to get the other girls to include is the right picture because if they were excluding her in the first place then they aren't very nice people. 

Here is my drawing and the completed comic:

Have you been excluded before? When have you been responsible for somebody else?
