Parihaka

For the last few weeks we have been learning about parihaka. About 1600 troops invaded the western taranaki settlement of parihaka. Which had to come to a symbolise peaceful resistance to the confiscation of Maori land.  Parihaka is known as a place in NZ but it is also why this place is often used as the name for a terrible event. Parihaka was a place of peace and it was a sacred place. This area was named and found by two spiritual leaders. 

Their names were Te Whiti and Tohu, They were very important people and were always worshipped till now. For their kindness, and way of peace.

Social studies

 There were many people around the tour and the teenage girl want to come to the tour. They were against the older generation. We Are Growing Up' When the Beatles arrived in New Zealand at Wellington Airport on 21 June 1964, they were cheered on by crowds of rapturous youths. For devotees of popular music, in the mid-1960s the four Liverpudlians were simply the greatest musicians in their genrel anywhere in the world. Of course, looking back at the images of throngs of hysterical girls with faces pressed hard against wire fences, screaming themselves hoarse as they caught a glimpse of their musical idols, it all seems a bit ridiculous, a bit excessive ... The songs of the Beatles and their contemporaries (including the local Beatles pastiche?, Ray Columbus and the Invaders, with their huge hit “She's a Mod”) were listened to by a generation of youths who felt that they were suddenly liberated from many of the inhibitions of their parents, and who believed that only they knew how to enjoy themselves properly. This tell us how important the Beatles are.
