Waitangi

On Wednesday the 14th of March lots of classes from St Francis Xavier School  went on an outstanding trip to Waitangi!

The school was welcomed onto the treaty grounds with a powhiri, at Hobson Beach.
Hobson beach was next to a small Maori village where Maori used to fish, sleep and cook.
A lady called  Barbra Brown showed us around the Maori village and told us what the Maori used to do there.

Mrs.Busby(Barbra brown dressed up) told us how the pakhea  got muskets and shot the Maori.The Maori ran into Mrs.Busby's house,there chief quikley grabbed Sarah (Mrs Busby's child)and hide her in the corner of the room under his cloak.

Able Tasman,(a man from Holland) got in his bout one day  and saw New Zealand.The Maori blew in a sea shell and Able blew in a trumpet. (saying bring it on)Able's men were already rowing to shore , the Maori started killing Ables men and Able rowed back to Holland and told everyone that they were savages and not to go there ever again.

All the classes from Staint Francis Xavier School had a fantastic time at Waitangi.

  1. Tenaya - Your recount shows me you found out lots of interesting facts at Waitangi.
    Go back and reread each sentence to make sure it is really clear to the reader.
    Also think about whether the order you have listed your ideas makes sense to a reader who wasn't at Waitangi with us. You might like to reorder your writing.
