My 6 Favourite Character Strengths

My 6 Favourite Character Strengths

This character strength was shown in The Hunger Games when Katniss volunteered as tribute to save her sister’s life and risk her own. This shows if you love someone enough you will do anything for them.


This character trait was shown in A silent voice when the boy was being mean to the deaf girl but then he thought about what it was like to be in her shoes. This shows that you should always think about how other people feel. If you are being mean to someone you should think about how it would feel to be in their shoes.


This character trait was shown in Avatar when the two different sides would judge each other by how they would act and look. It shows us that you shouldn’t judge people by how they look because they could be a really nice person. I think that judging things can be good but it can also be bad.


This character strength was shown in Spiderman Homecoming when Peter Park (Spiderman) saved all the people for the Washington Monument. This shows that kindness can come in many ways and can even save peoples lives.

This character trait is shown in the book Children of blood and bone when Zelie wouldn't give up. Even though she could die she wanted to make sure that everyone could get their powers back even if it cost her life. This shows that even if times get tough you should always push yourself and others and be a team leader.
This character trait is shown in Zootopia when Judy and Nick work together to make the world a better place and when they tried to figure out who was making the animals go savage.

The Treaty Between England & Scotland



What Treat have you researched?
The treaty I have researched was the treaty between Scotland and England

How does this Treaty relate to the Treaty of Waitangi?
I think they relate because they both have a mutual agreement. 

My links:

Treaty Of Waitangi:

Why do we still talk about the Treaty of Waitangi?
Because its a significant part of New Zealand and how it evolved.

My thoughts on Waitangi day should we still celebrate it?
I think we should still celebrate it because its a part of New Zealand and even though something bad could have happened it's still apart of what happened to New Zealand and we can't just forget it and move on. Without what happened during the Treaty of Waitangi we wouldn't be where we are today.

Maori & European Population Growth In NZ During 1836-1901














Questions:

What does the graph show us?
The Maori and European population change in New Zealand during 1836-1901

Why do you think the numbers of Maori changed?
Because the Maori would fight with each other for the land and there we're diseases which caused numbers of death to rise. The female couldn't repopulate because of sexual diseases.

Why do you think the numbers of Europeans changed?
More ships arrived with Europeans so they had more power which gave them more land.
