Maori art

After learning about the Treaty of Waitangi, the year 5's took inspiration from the Maori culture and their learning to capture some of the designs.  This is my Maori pastel art

Waitangi

During week 1 we were learning about the Treaty of Waitangi.  The Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand's founding document.  The name is taken from the place in the Bay of Islands where it was first signed, on 6 February 1840. New Zealand recognise this special day with a public holiday.  The Treaty of Waitangi is an important agreement that was signed by representatives of the British Crown and Māori in 1840. The purpose of the Treaty was to enable the British settlers and the Māori people to live together in New Zealand under a common set of laws or agreements.
