Classroom Treaty

Classroom Treaty

WALT: Make a treaty

This year we are making a classroom treaty to represent the treaty of waitangi. We got into group of which the teacher as put us in. I was with Arizona, Fe'ao, Manaia and 

DeNiro. 

During this task we were given a blank piece of paper and a pencil. The group were in determines the what topic we are writing about. My group got Leaving and entering the class, so we decided to do Manners. It started off hard mostly because we couldn't decide which one would fit perfectly with the topic. We didn't take it to consideration about the values mostly because we have forgotten about. It was hard form the start but we got used to it. My team also finished until me and Arizona saw the old treaty and saw that we forgot about the school values, we told them and we had to restart. 

I got a new paper and did it all over again but made sure it related to the school value. For M we did Making sure to make the right decision and for A we did, Having a positive attitude. But then comes the 2 N's the first one we came up with was Not having a negative attitude which was easy to come up with because of the first. We found the other N hard so we moved on to the E which was Encourage others to walk quietly in the hallways, this related to our topic Leaving and entering the class because when you leaving the class you should walk quietly in the hallways. The next letter is R, for that we did Respect each other which we kinda of don't know how that relates to our topic, so this is why I am going to make it up on the spot.

The reason we need to respect others is so we don't get in trouble, main reason is because if we ran and yell it would get us in trouble and make us stay in when it's lunch time or morning tea time. But it's also imported to respect others so they wouldn't trip or get hurt. Now that I have explain why it's important to respect other people now lets go on to S which is the last word. For S we did nothing because the time was up till then.

We got nervous because we didn't do 2 so we went to our other paper and told the teacher that we didn't use the school values because we have forgotten. When it was out turn we got up and told each other which one we were doing, I said I was going to do the E one because that was my idea and once we all got ready Fe'ao said, "Hello the topic we got was uhmm Leaving and entering umm" " The word we choose was Manner" Coralee said, then we started. M is for Making good decisions, A is for Having a positive attitude, N is for Not saying negative attitude. Because we didn't do the other N so I said "For N we di-" But they already went on to the other one, so I whispered to Fe'ao telling him I was going to make something on the spot but they continued. E is for encourage others to walk quietly in the class and outside the class, R is for respect others.
