Treaty of Waitangi

Edited Waitangi Recount

Hi bloggers, This is my edited Waitangi recount.

Edited Waitangi day

“Parking Spot!” I shouted to my mum. We finally got a parking stop, all thanks to me of course. Pop,
I hopped out of the car like a rabbit in a plain paddock. We were in Paihia starting to walk to Waitangi.
It was a long way, but my mum and I walked along the sandy, rocky beach to the bridge that led to
Waitangi. Suddenly I saw people doing the haka and singing songs in front of some waka’s. They were
done and started hopping into waka’s and paddling away. We walked over the one way bridge to
Waitangi like tortoises in a boiling hot desert.

“I’m hungry let’s have an ice cream” said mum, I happily agreed and we walked to the delicious
blueberry ice cream caravan. “Two blueberry ice creams please?” asked mum. The cone went under the
ice cream mixer, the purpley, blue mixture of ice cream came down slowly with a swirl on top. I licked it
off bit by bit as we walked to the Marae.

Finally, we were there at the Marae. We went up to meet Willow Jean Prime and asked her if
Jacinda Ardern was here, but she had just left. We walked back down to the shops. We stopped on our
way, we saw my swimming teacher Kaysha, she said she was going to University in Dunedin. We said
goodbye and went to have Thai food for lunch. It was so yum, I had noodles, prawns and spring onions.
We walked to the Waitangi dock and took the ferry back to Paihia, it was much quicker than walking,
honestly I wouldn’t last another second walking in the bright, yellow sun. We walked across the road to
the car and drove home happily.

Hi Bloggers,

Summer Learning Journey

Hi Bloggers,
In this activity I had to write about why woman in Saudi Arabia were not allowed to vote until 2015 Is it fair? Why or why not?

I do not think it is fair that woman in Saudi Arabia were not allowed to vote until 2015. Everyone has the right to vote. Basically, think of the woman in Saudi Arabia just end up with a president that no of them like, doesn't seem fair to me. I think Saudi Arabia should have always been allowed to vote.

Activity 2

Now I'm going to rate a painting out of 5. This painting is from the 1920's. Here is the painting:I will rate this a 4/5 - good painting. I give it this rating because it's a unique style of art and looks like it could catch anyone's eye.
