The Tree Hut Treaty

At the beginning of the term our class read and unpacked this book about a group of children that created a Treaty for their hut to keep the peace. This led to deep discussions about Te Tiriti O Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi) and the creation of our own class Treaty. Below are some of our beautiful Tree Hut creations.
