A Smart Goal.

Talofa Lava everyone, in Maths today we wrote out 

our own smart goal for ourselves to focus on. 

The SMART goals method is used to help give us a clearer sense of direction for our objective. It is used to make sure our goals are attainable within a certain time - frame. 

This is the acronym for the word SMART. 

S - Specific. The goal should have a clear, highly-specific endpoint. If your goal is too vague, it won’t be SMART.

M - Measurable. You need to be able to accurately track your progress, so you can judge when a goal will be met.

A - Attainable. Of course, setting a goal that’s too ambitious will see you struggle to achieve it. This will sap your motivation, both now and in the future.

R - Relevant. Your goal should be helpful relating to your chosen objective or it should benefit you directly.

T - Time-Bound. Finally, setting a timeframe for your goal helps quantify it further, and helps keep your focus on track.

 

Waitangi Day

3 facts about the Treaty Of Waitangi.

• Waitangi Day was signed on, February 6th, 1840

• There were two versions of the treaty. One in Māori and the other in English. 

• William Hobson was the person who signed both versions of the treaty.

3 different points of view on Waitangi Day.

• Some people are against Waitangi Day being a public holiday because from their perspective the treaty of Waitangi was seen as a day of war and conflict, and it was said to be a ‘day of shame’ because they believed Māori were robbed from their own land.

• Other groups of people celebrated Waitangi Day and were not against it being a public holiday as they saw it as a day of peace and settlement, for why we are able to live on this land today.

• Some people don’t really have worries or concerns about Waitangi Day being a public holiday as they see it as a day to rest, a day of no school and no work. Basically, they just see Waitangi Day as a day off. 

Your perspective on whether it is important to celebrate Waitangi day or not.

 I am unsure of my opinion at this point. After more insight and knowledge about Waitangi Day and the history behind it, I will then be able to recite my opinion.

Why it is/or isn't important to learn about the treaty. 

It is important from my perspective as it is a historic day in New Zealand's history. So it would be could to have knowledge about the treaty.
