Te Tiriti o Te Hiringa

We have been learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. We read a story about how Waitangi got its name, the story of Maikuku's cave. 

We decided that we needed to come up with a class treaty to make sure that we all have the best environment to learn in. We came up with lots of ideas and then managed to get them down to 4 things that we could follow. 

Here is us with our Treaty that we each signed to say that we would abide it.

  1. Talofa Lava Te Hiringa,
    I am SUPER IMPRESSED with your class treaty and like how you have managed to get it down to 4 great things. I am sure you will all work hard this year to be respectful, show manaakitanga, strive for excellence and show kotahitanga. I am lucky enough to live just an hour away from Waitangi so I get to go to Waitangi Day. It is an incredible day celebrating the signing of Te Tiriti o te Waitangi. I haven't read the story of how Waitangi got it's name so am going to do some more research to learn. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Kia Ora Te Hiringa
    I am a teacher at a school in Christchurch called Ara Tu Whakata Gilberthorpe School. Our class is called Te Ropu Ngakaunui and we are year 4 and 5. We are lucky enough to be doing Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu with you this year! I was just having a nosy through your blog, and this post really stood out to me... because we have made our own class treaty too! Check out our post and have a look, I wonder if we have anything similar. Great minds think alike huh! Anyway, we are excited to check out what you have been learning this year. Keep up the fantastic work.
    From Miss Johnstone and Te Ropu Ngakaunui.

  3. Hi Te Hiringa. We are using a new writing prompt to help us with our blogging. Below is an example of a comment Room 8 has written together before we write our own one.
    Hi there, my name is Miss Green and I am Teacher in Room 8 at Owairaka School. I really like how you made your treaty look very, very old. Did you use tea to stain the paper or did you use some brown dye? It made me think of the old paper that we used to write in the Middle Ages, which must have been a lot harder to do than typing on our chromebooks! If you would like to see my (our) learning, my blog is http://odsgreen.blogspot.co.nz/

  5. Hello this is Stephanie from Ngakaunui and Gilberthorpe school, I really like the rules in the treaty, We have a treaty in our class too. How did you make the colour of the treaty? this probably reminded me of using the coffee for the treaty's colour and we burnt the edges and sticked it up in the wall, Maybe you could show us whats a treaty,
