My New Classroom by Isabella
This is what I want my classroom to be like. My favourite part is the pool and the tuck shop. I think this looks great, maybe in the future I could actually have a classroom just like this.

Waitangi Day - Explanation
Waitangi Day
Why do we celebrate Waitangi Day?
In 1840, February 6, the British sent over William Hobson to sign the treaty of Waitangi so that New Zealand could be apart of the British empire laws.They signed the treaty at James Busby’s treaty house.
Hone Heke was one of the Maori chiefs. William Hobson signed the treaty for England, and over 500 maori chiefs signed the treaty.
On Waitangi day we have a public holiday. Some people go out with their families because it is a public holiday. Waitangi was officially commemorated in 1934. It has been a public holiday since 1974. Some people go to a restaurant, the beach, or they have a bbq.
I think Waitangi would always be remembered. Many maori and Pakeha people celebrate this event. Waitangi will be carried on forever.
