History of NZ topic study

In Room 6 at Tomarata School we have been studying the history  of New Zealand. In this topic we have looked at the treaty of  witangi, how captain cook discovered New Zealand, the National Anthem and how to visit a marae. To help us understand some aspects of this topic we have had a hangi and learnt how to build one, we made traditional maori bread  rewena bread, our class has also made maori figures out of news papper and other materials. This was to help us understand the traditional maori dress and the difference between what a male and a female would wear. This week the whole school is going to visit a marae. this is just a sample of the work that we have done and are going to do to complete this topic.
