Here is my piece of writing that I write along time ago that I forgot to post but here it is...........
A DAY IN WAITANGI!!!
The time is 9:00 am and the whole school was going to Waitangi and the buses finally arrived, i
t was time to go to Waitangi. We got on the bus and went straight to the back,
we finally started to move and the bus as quieter than it often is.
We finally arrived and the bus stopped. We got off and it was hot like the steam coming out of a pot.
Monika (our tour lady, someone that works at Waitangi) started to talk and we finally made our
way inside and went straight to the top of the hill were the flagpole and the marae was.
We sat down in the heat and waited and waited well the
speakers finished until the Prime Minister (Jacinda Ardern) started to speak and well she
was speaking we were getting interviewed by maori television, then we went down to to the
nice cool Museum. We had a quick look around and found lots of information about the The treaty
of waitangi and our relations with some of the tupuna that signed the treaty.
We carried on in the museum and finally finished up in there and went back outside and went down
to have lunch down by the wakas for about 5-10 minutes and took some photos and went back to school.
What I felt when we were at the Waitangi treaty grounds was happy because the whole
school learnt more and lots of new stuff about the treaty of Waitangi or Te tiriti o Waitangi.
It was a cool and fun Day on Monday.
QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

Yes,because we can share our ahua with our people.
No, because it was the day that the english promised Partnership and the did not
honor that and they also promised Protect for our land and our people and Participation.
