What is Waitangi Day?
Waitangi Day is a significant day in the history of New Zealand. It is a public holiday held each year on 6 February to celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document, on that date in 1840. (Wikipedia 2009). Click on the photos to find out more. We are learning more about the Treaty of Waitangi and its importance to NZ. We found out that a treat is an agreement signed by two or more peoples or countries. We are going to write our own class treaty next week so watch out for it. We read 'The Tree Hut Treaty ' by Wiremu Grace and Bruce Potter. Another book we read was The Treaty= Te Tiriti by Mere Whaanga and Liz Hunkin. We also looked at how we are all members of groups and drew a picture of a group we belong to.

Hi there
I was very interested to see that you had been reading the Tree Hut Treaty. Our students did a podcast about the Tree Hut Treaty and as well as publishing it on iTunes, it is published on our blog here

We wonder if you think we have reviewed the book accurately or if there is more you would like to add?

Thanks for your question, I think the best answer is that its related to which template that you use when you start a blog right at the start, I don't think at present that you can choose the width of the bars, and I've always chosen the template with the biggest width.
