Wananga Reflection

To be perfectly honest, this week has been the most stressful week ever. I had to study for the maths internal and the end-of-chapter review test for science. Now that it's done, I feel calm but worried at the same time because I don't know if I've done well. The only internals that I have left now is the creative writing for English. I'm kinda struggling with it since I've run out of ideas to write down. I can still do it though even if it's hard. 

Yesterday was Athletics day. I had to wear yellow for my Kahui which was Mohua. The events that I did were long jump, shot put, and 60m run. I've also played some games with my friends during the free time we had. 

Wananga Reflection

This week, in Wananga, we've only done a few things because our Wananga teacher wasn't here most days. One thing we've done is setting goals in the MyMahi app. We've also done the weekly quiz and played GeoGuessr. 

Waitangi

 What I already know about Waitangi day:

- It's been a public holiday since 1974.
- The Treaty of Waitangi is about an agreement between the Maori and the British Crown.

- Every year, on the 6th of February, Waitangi day is celebrated. 

- Over 500 Maori Chiefs signed the treaty but not all of them.

- Since both sides don't share the same language, there was an error in the translation. 

- The treaty was supposed to benefit both sides but it ended up only benefiting one. 

- Henry Williams was one of the people that translated the treaty.

- William Hobson was sent to New Zealand on behalf of the British government.

- The Maori thought they were getting a leader but they got controlled instead

- The Treaty of Waitangi takes its name from the place in the Bay of Islands where it was first signed.

- The treaty was sent around the country to get signed by the other Maori Chiefs.

- Governorship was used in the Maori translation of the treaty. However, this word was translated to sovereignty in the English version which misleads to a misunderstanding.
