Summer Learning Journey (Day 4 Week 2 Activity 1)

Indigenus Rights

Hello Bloggers Today I will be talking about Hōne Heke. He was a rangatira (chief). He was a strong, fearless warrior, and an intelligent leader. Hōne Heke was the first rangatira to sign Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi) in 1840. However he got frustrated and angry at how the British were treating the Māori. To protest, he cut down the flagpole that flew the British flag. Sometimes when we feel strongly (frustrated, angry, happy, excited) it is hard to put our feelings into words. We can use sayings to help explain our feelings. In Te Reo Māori, some people may use a whakataukī. Now I will be giving some facts.

1. Hōne  Heke was born in Pakaraka.

2. He was born on 7 August 1807

3. Hōne Heke's full name is Hōne Heke's full name is Hōone Wiremu Heke Pōka.

 Those are the facts I know. Now I have to look at the Whakatauki and choose the word I like and I will make a google drawing.  

 Here is my link. 

 Thank You For Watching I hope you like my blog! Bye Bye!

    Kia ora Aamena,

    My name is Hazel and I am part of the Summer Learning Journey (SLJ) team this year. It is so great to see you taking part in the programme and completing so many of the activities.

    That is great that you've done some research and found some facts about Hone Heke. Ka pai! I have tried to have a look at your whakatauki poster, but it says that the file is in the bin in your Google Drive account. Could you please edit your link? Remember to have a look at some of the examples on the SLJ website for ideas. You can use images and colours to make your poster stand out.

    Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading more of your work soon.

    Hazel :)
