# 14 Summer Learning Journey

This Summer my school (Awahono School) are taking part in the Summer Learning Journey, where each week we get assigned three activities to complete and then to put on our blogs.  Activity information down below--

Make sure to check out my blog in a couple of days to see more posts just like this one.

On 6 February 1840, a very special document was signed by the Māori chiefs and the British settlers in New Zealand. It was called the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) and it outlined how the two groups would live together and work together in New Zealand. It was the first document of its kind to be signed in the entire world. The Treaty was signed in a place called Waitangi in northern New Zealand.

Follow this Waitangi village link to read about the village of Waitangi.

On your blog, tell us three fun things that you can do as a visitor in Waitangi. Which one would you like to do the most?

1. Waitangi treaty grounds.
2. Haruru falls
3. Waitangi national reserve
I would like to visit the Waitangi treaty grounds to learn a little bit of history about the peace making in New Zealand.

    Waitangi is a very beautiful part of Aotearoa. It is a very important part of the history of our country. It would be great if you are able to visit there one day.

    I am very lucky as I was born in Northland and have been to the Bay of Islands region on many occasions. I used to go their for my holidays when I was about your age. It is a very special place.

    Remember to find other students that are doing the programme too, if you comment on someone else's blog it is worth 2 points.

    Until next time

    Allie :)
