Who are we?
Hi today I am going to tell you about what I have been doing in hurumanu 1 who are we.
We are learning about our history and how our ancestors came here.
I am finding this hurumanu fun cause we get to learn about what happened in the 1800s - 1900s.
I think learning about our history, is a good thing cause we get to know what mistakes happened. And so we don't do the same things again, and cause what great things happened that we did. And how we invented cool stuff.
When we do this we can tell other people what happend in the past and what mistakes happened, while the mistakes happen we can teach them about what good things happened.
So far we have been doing reading, the book is six photographs, the book is about how they took photos in the 1800s and the 1900s, I found this book fun cause we get to see what how little photos can tell a big story.
This photo shows, a treaty that was created in New Zealand, and over 500 people signed the treaty. This is why we have Waitangi Day to celebrate what good deeds we did.
