 Hello, everyone for the past week we have been making a map in Social Study's and its about the treaty and the west Africa people slaves. And how they live so as slaves they had to do a spiritual song so they can can fell all their felling's they have in their body Harriet Tubman was, born has a slave and Harriet was trying to escape and the Underground railroad was a way to get away from the. Bad people the spiritual song they use to hide messages was wade in the water and they were using that song, was to send a hidden message  to the other people the message was wade in the water. And that was for to tell the people that their is a way to escape from the dogs because the dogs can not smell the people from the water, so they have to swim in the water to get towards there location to escape. The events they have used today are still significant as of today because the other slaves have escaped, so they can't track them because they used the water to escape from the dogs. So that is what happened to the slaves I hope you guys well enjoy this blog post. 

The lyrics they used: 

Wade in the water
Wade in the water
Children wade, in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
Who's that young girl dressed in red
Wade in the water
Must be the children that Moses led
God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water, wade in the water children
Wade in the water,
God's gonna trouble the water

Who's that young girl dressed in white
Wade in the water
Must be the children of the Israelite
Oh, God's gonna trouble the water

Wade in the water, wade in the water children
Wade in the water,
God's gonna trouble the water

Who's that young girl dressed in blue
Wade in the water
Must be the children that's coming through,
God's gonna trouble the water, yeah

Wade in the water,…

 The film Treaty of Waitangi what really happened, directed by Peter Burger, is about the signing of one of our founding documents. It is a dramatization of the days landing up to and including the signing. We know this through the chiefs arguing, discussing and assigning the treaty based on history. We also know through the films and the voiceovers. 

Cyber Safety

 Hello everyone in ICT class we were doing cyber safety and learning about how to keep safe online, if you want to keep safe online you have to keep your personal information safe so no one can have your information, and you have to use a stronger password online so the hackers can not guess your password. When you are online you have to use 2 step verification so the people, can not get in to your account because they need your code to get in. And you have to think about clicking a link on a website before the hackers can take your information, so I hope you guy's well enjoy my blog post and keep safe online bye.

Hi everyone in class we had to watch a film on the Treaty Waitangi and, we had to write a summery on the film we have watched. In the film the Maori people signs the treaty and then they had to translate the words, so they can say it to the English people so they understand what they are saying their were lots of arguments. And discussions on the weather after the people signs the treaty they get Tabaco and blankets so the crown wrote out the treaty in to the English words, so that is what happened in treaty of Waitangi I hope you guys we'll enjoy this blog post about the Treaty.
