Instructions for my fair game

Kia ora koutou, welcome to another blog, today I'm going to be talking to you about my fair game, by that I mean we are having a school fair on the 8th of march. We had to write instructions about our game for a five year old and a ten year old so here is my poster about the instructions for a ten year old.

Waitangi day

Kia ora koutou,welcome back to my blog. On the sixth of February it was Waitangi day, Waitangi day is all about what happened on the sixth of February 1840. The treaty basically declared the rules of who and how to rule over New Zealand between the Maori and British. The Maori chiefs that signed on the treaty was not translated to the same words in English, so they had a war between the British, Maori and the French because they also wanted the land. For our D.L.O (digital learning object) we had to answer the question, What do you think New Zealand will look like in the future? So here is my response.

Thanks for looking at another one of my blogs, let me know how you celebrate Waitangi day,
Ka kite ano.
