NZ Land Wars of 1842-1875

This is what I remember about the land wars. Just so you know.

Pōtatau Te Wherowhero was the first Maori king and the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. But the wars started because Pōtatau Te Wherowhero told the crown that if they cross the Waikato River, they will have a war. Which it did happen using muskets. One popular battle was the Parihaka invasion in 1881. The war ended in 1975.

PENN 2023

I am a presenter for PENN, the Pt England News Network. PENN is a television show airing from Monday to Thursday. What I do for PENN is presenting information (like sport) to show to the school via the TV. But you also do stuff like setting up the green screen or turning on the red light. But I also do something else that is special. I fill in information for the Weather segment. Where I find temperatures and sun times using MetService. Then I find tides and water temperatures using Safe Swim. But that’s not all! I am also currently working on a new and improved Weather section for the news with new graphics and information, like a new upgrade instead of standing telling the viewer. Now the presenter gets to move their entire arm to show the viewer what the presenter is actually talking about.  I’m planning to add a weather warning slide w7here a mini diagram is shown to the viewer about the following warning in our area, in this case Pt England.

For more information about how I find information for weather and see more of the new and improved weather, please watch this video featuring your one and only.
