Each year, the class learns about te Tiriti o te Waitangi.
We learn about the importance of a treaty in the classroom, too.
We used our school values of Compassion, Excellence, Responsibility and Respect to come up with some promises to keep in the classroom.
We wrote our names on a piece of paper to show we agree with the articles on our class treaty. If someone was to not follow the treaty, the whole class becomes responsible as we are all a collective group!
As part of our classroom treaty, we wrote when we belong at school and when we feel respected at school on the orange and blue feathers.
The feathers were cut out and the stencil used to create a background for the feathers to be layered on.
We have become more compassionate towards each other and respectful because of this treaty.
Do you have a class treaty?
Is there anything in your treaty that is similar to ours?
