Text title: Butterflies

Text type: Short story

Text creator: Patricia Grace

Text purpose: Do not know

In wanaga we read this short story about this girl and at school she wrote a story about butterflies and she thought that butterflies should get killed. But her teacher told her they are beautiful creatures and she did not agree with her teacher and when she got home she told her grandparents. When she was talking to them they also agreed that her story was true because they grow there own vegetables and fruit and butterflies get annoying. Then they realised the teacher probably does not grow her own food.

What does the author of this text want us to know?Probably even if animals and creatures are pretty they can also get annoying.

The title: The Treaty of Waitangi What Really Happened

Text type: Film

Text creator: Peter Burger

Text purpose: To show every one what happened and understand more about Waitangi.

In class we watched a video on how the Maori people and British people came up with the treaty and agreed on signing it. Before the treaty everyone was trading, losing stuff and not having a great time so the British came up with the idea to make a treaty in English and Maori so everyone can read it. It took quite a bit of hard work and everyone speaking their part, some chiefs of New Zealand did not want to sign it and felt like their rights were being taken away but some thought it would bring peace. So in the end more chiefs signed than the chiefs who did not sign the treaty and since then New Zealand has been apart of the British colony.
