Treaty Signing

All of the junior classes meet outside Room 3 to sign our class treaties. We have been talking about the Treaty of Waitangi and about how different people interpret things that are written down. This connects with our learning focus on looking closely and thinking about perspectives.

We wrote our class treaty with positive ways to be at all times not just in our classroom. We looked at lots of pictures of us working so far in Room 9 and everyone agreed that we are doing a great job so far of living our treaty everyday. Our treaty was signed with our fingerprints and initials (because everyone loves playing with these at the moment). Maita is 'M and M' like the lollies, which everyone thinks is the best.



Our treaty is hanging up in our classroom next to the pictures of us 'Loving Learning as Active Achievers at Maori Hill School'.

It reads:

Everyone should be included.
Be compassionate and kind to everyone.
Forgive and be generous.
Show gratitude by looking after our school and classroom things.
Remember, all day, everyday, we are here to learn.
