when we are angry we can write sayings his is a saying from the ministriy of education
"Kotahi te kākano, he nui ngā hua o te rākau. A tree comes from one seed but bears many fruit"
Kia Ora Emily,
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing post. I didn’t know Hon Heke tore down the British flag in anger, thank you for teaching me that! I also like the image you included and the quote you have chosen; they’re brilliant.
Have you ever been to where the Treaty was signed? I went with my uncle last year. It’s an incredible place full of so much history. My favourite thing to see there was the Marae. It’s incredibly breathtaking. Have you ever been somewhere or seen something that took your breath away?
What do you think Hon Heke’s words mean?
