Day 5: The Dawn of a New Era

Activity 1: Translating Phrases
When europeans came to New Zealand they couldn't understand us so. It was hard to settle agreements, also in the treaty of waitangi the maori thought that they were going to own the land but the europeans thought that to. So here are some phrases that I will translate from maori to english then english to maori. Here they are:
Nau mai ki Aotearoa. Welcome to New Zealand
Lilli-Rose is my name, Lilli-Rose ko toku ingoa
What is your name? He aha to ingoa?
He pai taku ki te takaro i te whutupaoro, I like to play rugby.
Where do you come from? no hea koe?

Activity 2: The Treaty of Waitangi
The Treaty of Waitangi was signed on February the 6 1840 at waitangi. I am lucky another to live in the town of were this hapend. Did you know when they signed it the maori and the Europeans thought they were the ones who would have the land because the people who translated were wrong. If I went to waitangi for the day I would:

See the treaty rounds
Go to the museum
Go on the mountain bike park
Go into the marae and see a performance

I think I would rather do Go on the mountain bike park because my friends mum made it.
