personality test

For my attitude test I was a lion this is because I am adventurous, bold, decision maker, firm, independent, strong willed, confident, determined, enjoys challenges, go for goals, hard worker, keeps at it, makes things happen. A bad thing about being a lion is that I am too independent. But it is also good to be a lion because I can get to my goals. Also I am confident and bold which I know I am. I didn't know I was that adventurous. However I still think I am a lion.

I think that my lion as well as my sister. Although I think my mum is a Beaver because she really smart.

I think this is a useful survey for people to have a idea of what they are.

Waitangi Day




The treaty of Waitangi was signed on February 6th 1840 but it was only in 1934. It was signed by british representatives and 500 Maori chiefs. However the Maori people feel cheated and who can blame them. Look whats happened to there country.

In the early days a Maori family would have lived on a big space. it had around three buildings in there property and they always lived with there extended family. Children were cared by the elders. Most importantly outsiders never stayed. Now look whats happened to that. We have taken precious land from the maori. No wonder there is always a stand in Waitangi every year around this time
