On the 5th February we went to Waitangi as we were learning about the Treat of Waitangi.

We wanted to see where the treaty was signed.

First we got ready to go on  the bus.

We drove to Waitangi we had to get off the bus and line up so we could meet our guides.

Our guide was Whaea Roylena.

WALT make predictions

On Monday Whaea Rosina brought us some crystals we put them in water.
Then we made predictions on what it might, look like, what it might feel like

These were our predictions.

This is what they looked liked 

Then we thought what if we add more water what will happen to the crystals.

The beads grew bigger.
