LI: To understand the history of the Treaty of Waitangi
We looked at what the world was like in 1840. Did you know in 1840 Queen Victoria was the Queen of England? After this we identified some of the key people and their role in the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi we found it interesting that Hene Heke was the first person to sign the Treaty. We then used the information from some activities to help us right our information.
I found this really interesting because I learnt diffrent facts about the Treaty Of Waitangi, And Maori culture.

Our task was to write about a leader we admire. I chose Hone Heke because he was a great Ngapuhi leader who was the first tete kura (chief) to sign the treaty of waitangi (TOW), I also chose Hone beacause he gave confidence and taking risk to encourage others.

After we gathered all of the data we analyzed the data. Finally we made our conclusion, we found out that most people in LS2 get a good amount of sleep.
