Is the book going

Are books Disappearing. less text books, phone books, Dictionary, BookBooks. Books are starting to decrease in numbers. I think that in 100 yrs there will be holograms to replace the book. In our class at T.I.S. rm 42 2/8 kids read a book in the last week. But 100% have read on their computers. 

In the USA (United States of America) 30 million trees are cut down per year for book. Thats 30,000,000 trees per decade. This is a two sided argument, There are good and bad thing about a book and also about a ebook. 85% of books sold on amazon are ebooks. 

 

Waitangi Day.

Why are these people carrying this banner?












The Treaty Of Waitangi was named after the Bay Of Islands. The Treaty Of Waitangi was signed on the 6 of February 1804 by over 500 maori chiefs.

The Treaty is the founding document of New Zealand. Waitangi Day became a holiday since 1974. Waitangi means water tears.

There are 9 copies of the Treaty and they are all similar. The Treaty is still valid today.
