It's in the bag

Hi my name Benjamin and my hub went to ferry meed.The first thing we did was get dressed into olden clothes. here is me in my clothes that I dressed in.

Then he told us the rules Rule one was stand up straight. rule two ladies before gentlemen rule three dont break shoes.Rule four children should be seen not heard when adults are around.  second thing we did was play its in the bag. This was a game back in the 19,00s. What you had to do was answer a question then you have to pick a handbag. Some prizes were boobie prizes which could be like a old train ticket. But a real prize that some people got from our hub was like a ruler and freddo frogs. But you could choose to take the pennies that you could pay for one of the prizes. No one got a boobie prize when we played its in the bag.

Have you played it in the bag if so did you win a prize?

waitangi day- imagine being there and signing the treaty

If I was at Waitangi day, I would sign it because if you didn't your country could end up in war. Then you would risk death.? You would not want to kill someone else either. Back in those days you would have to kill animals too like moa that are now extinct. The Treaty of Waitangi is an agreement made in 1840 between representatives of the British Crown and more than 500 Maori chiefs. It resulted in the declaration of British sovereignty over New Zealand by Lieutenant Governor William Hobson in May 1840. There were about 50 signing meetings between February and September in 1840 and 540 chiefs gave their agreement. 

                                Would you sign the treaty if you could?
