SLJ Week 1 day 5


Activity 2: The Treaty of Waitangi

On 6 February 1840, a very special document was signed by the Māori chiefs and the
British settlers in New Zealand. It was called the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi)
and it outlined how the two groups would live together and work together
in New Zealand. It was the first document of its kind to be signed in the
entire world. The Treaty was signed in a place called Waitangi in northern New Zealand.

  2. Hi Loto,

    Ruby here from the Summer Learning Journey team!

    Good work with this activity. There are lots of fun things you can do at Waitangi. I like how you have said that having fun is one of the things that you can do at Waitangi. I wonder what you can do to have fun though.

    Did you look at the Waitangi website, I wonder? There were lots of great ideas for things that you could do on there.

    I have been to Waitangi a few times and always enjoy walking around the Treaty House and learning about Aotearoa's history. Have you ever been to Waitangi?

    I look forward to reading more of your blog over the summer.
    Cheers,
    Ruby.
