Before creating our class treaty we learned about the Treaty of Waitangi. We learned about the history of the treaty and why we celebrate the Treaty of Waitangi every year on the 6th of February.
What an awesome time to learn about this historical occasion as it was leading up to Waitangi Day weekend.
It was a great learning experience for us as we found out that some of our Troopers have not been to Waitangi. We also discovered that some Troopers travel during their holidays to neighbouring towns to Waitangi visiting whanau. Some travelled as far as Cape Reinga. Many of our Troopers have not been to Cape Reinga
However, with the help of Technology, we were able to visit and take a virtual tour of Waitangi using Google images and maps.
We made it as far as the top of the North Island visiting the lighthouse at Cape Reinga.
Our Troopers learning in groups on how to drive their google chrome using google maps and images to visit Waitangi and Cape Reinga.
