The 6th of February 2019 marks the 45th year since Waitangi Day has been celebrated as a public holiday, we know it's about the "Treaty of Waitangi"; however do you know it's full history, the culture and the liberty that we gained during those times?
This week in our reading we started to learn more about what Waitangi Day and it's importance to New Zealand. We read some articles about it and the different parts and details that happened around a century ago. Our class then had to work on some questions and tasks all about what we've read; most of them including a summary and some multiple answers questions. It was an enlightening moment; now I am proud to say that I at least know a small brief history of New Zealand.

Hey Axle, this is a really great blogpost about Waitangi Day. I have found more information about Waitangi Day and Hone Heke, that I didn't have on my slide show. It is also really good that we now know what Waitangi day is, I can't really find anything any mistake. Keep up the good work.
