History about New Zealand
It wasn’t until about 1300 that Aotearoa / New Zealand was settled. In the 1800 different cultures (they) had to learn to live together in Aotearoa
New Zealand.
Early Polynesian Navigators came in the 1300. Kupe’s wife first saw our
land and called” out Te Ao Te Aotearoa. NZ was one of the last places to be discovered because it's so far away. At the bottom of the world.They wondered where migrating birds went every year,so they followed them. They used the moon and sun to navigate.I used the clouds to reflect real land.
Te Tiriti o Waitangi On the 6th of February 1840 the treaty was signed by 500 Maori chiefs. Not all Maori chiefs signed because some thought it was a bad idea. Henry Williams translated it into the Moari Version of the treaty. The treaty is different, like the Maori had to give up their sovereignty. The Chiefs put a mark {tattoo} to show that they signed. There were 9 copies
Of the treaty.
European settlement in New Zealand grew from the 1850s. People came by boat. It was not a good ride because it took 6 weeks and they did not have a toilet. They only had a bucket and one of the kids had to tip the bucket over the side of the ship. After arriving in Lyttelton they had to walk over the Bridle Path with their luggage. Girls had no fun because they had to do boring chores like tidying, washing and sweeping the deck.
These are some important moments in New Zealand Aotearoa history. They have helped us to shape who we are today.

Kia ora Emma,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great information report. I really like how you have used your plan to group your ideas into paragraphs. You have added a lot of great detail. Imagine having to be the kid who had to empty the toilet bucket? Yuck! Keep up the great work Emma!
