What do I see in the mirror?
Hi everyone! Welcome to another post. Today in class, we learned about poetry and we had to do an activity where we wrote a poem. The title of the poem was 'Look in the mirror and what do I see?'. We had to add a picture ad to change the fonts to make the poem look pretty and presentable. I hope you enjoy reading my poem!

A day wandering through a magical place
Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, I hope you are having a great day so far! Today we had our first ESOL lesson and we had to write a story about the best day of our summer holiday. Please enjoy reading my story!
During the holidays my family and I had planned a big trip to go to some countries in South East Asia. Those countries were Taiwan and Hong Kong. My auntie is currently living in Taiwan and a friend of my mother has been living in Hong Kong. It was an 11-day trip, but my favourite day was the 10th day. That day we went to Hong Kong Disneyland, it was a magical place with many cool rides and decorations. We went there on the 30th of December 2019, the skies were clear and the sun was shining brightly on the busy streets.
We went to Disneyland by MTR, which is a train that goes to places around Hong Kong. The one we rode on looked very special it had cute designs such as mickey mouse stickers and some pillows on the seats. Though when we rode it the seats were unfortunately taken.
Once we had arrived people rushed out of the train and ran to the entrance. It was very crowded so I felt very nervous and cramped. But luckily we got out safely. Walking to the entrance we were welcomed by a huge fountain displaying all the characters from Mickey Mouse and a character from a Disney movie.
After admiring the fountain we walked to a nearby shop to buy some keychains and some merchandise. I wanted to buy them all because they were all so unique and interesting. After some time we finally got inside the park. There was a train station displaying the Disneyland logo, which I thought was very decorative and beautiful.
Disneyland is a big place to we were provided with maps that gave a very detailed explanation on what goes on and places in Disneyland. We walked to the main street where a huge Christmas tree was displayed and exquisite buildings were exhibited. My favourite building was the Museum and the shop where they gave ice cream out.
After looking through the streets we explored a place called Tomorrow Land where we rode a rollercoaster. It was very scary. My mother, who rode it with me, couldn't talk after the ride because she said it was a "Horrifying Experience." But it was also fun at the same time, the graphics were well developed and it was very safe.
After that, we didn't really ride anything else we just looked around and explored museums and ate a lot of delicious foods. At the end of the day we heard that there was going to be a parade, we were so lucky to have experienced a parade in Disneyland. The mascots and dancers were all so unique and amazing.
In conclusion, I had enjoyed this day the best, it was very fun to experience new cultures of food and explore beautiful areas.

Waitangi Day!
Hi everyone! Welcome to another post! Today I will be sharing with you some information on Waiting day, why it is important and some history behind it. I hope you enjoy reading my post and learn something from it!
Waitangi Day:
Waitangi Day is on the 6th of February and is celebrated every year to commemorate the signing of the Te Tiriti o Waiting (The Treaty of Waitangi). It was announced as a national holiday in 1974. It is very important for everyone living in New Zealand because it is an important part of our history. Waiting Day is celebrated everywhere in New Zealand but other people traditionally celebrated it in the Treaty Grounds in Waitangi.
What is the Treaty of Waitangi?
The treaty of Waitangi is an agreement between the representatives of the British Crown (England and the Queen) and representatives of the Māori people. The agreement is about the British's sovereignty over New Zealand. This means that the British Crown has complete power over New Zealand. There are a total of 3 articles in the Treaty of Waitangi.
1. The Queen (or King) of England has the right to rule of New Zealand.
2. The Māori chiefs would keep their land and their chieftainships and would agree to sell their land only to British Monarch. (Royal Family)
3. That all Māori would have the same rights as British subjects.
Articles 2 and 3 still cause problems today.
Māori chiefs originally were the ones who asked for the treaty. This was because of the increased population from other countries (European Countries) and there were no official laws in the time. Which caused many crimes and fights. They sent a letter to William IV in 1831 seeking protection. After two years the British Crown sent their representative James Busby, he was also the first British resident. After that many events happened including The Declaration of Independence of New Zealand, the signing of the treaty and the New Zealand Wars.
These wars occurred because of the misunderstanding on the treaty, this caused large amounts of land to be confiscated from the Māori. These were all very important parts of the history of New Zealand.
Well, that is all for now, I hope you enjoyed reading and learning about Waitangi day and Te Tiriti of Waitangi. Have a great day!
