Treaty of waitangi.

I can compare and contrast map

A few things I found were that the treaty was signed on 4th of Feb 1840, and that the British were trying to take over NZ but they couldn't because the Maori fought back so they made a treaty.
One more thing I would like to find out is why did the British want to take over the land but gave them guns and weapons to fight back?

Parliament

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned in NZ parliament are:

• Patsy Reddy is the new governor general
• Other countries are using democracy
• Bill English is the deputy PM

Here is the link to my compare and contrast map explaining the difference between democracy and dictatorship.

Term 1 Integrated learning-leadership

We have been learning all about What makes a good leader.

Here is a link to the Leadership modelling book --> https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1w8BjVr0EzMeFeLKwY1h0rYBsxDTyCuXyHahhEcPSicw

We identified that good leaders show 6 main character traits. These are integrity, trustworthy, resilient, goal focused, movtivational and active thinker.

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is trustworthy because I put up the flag and take it down when it is my turn

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is goal focused because I'm not that good at setting my self new goals 

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is leaders need to show many traits to be a good leader.

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is extended abstract because I can describe a good/effective leader

(see slide 2 of the leadership modelling book for this) 

My next step in learning about leadership is to apply everything that I have learned about leadership to my own leadership roles.
