NZ Flag Vote.

Toady we had to do a vote on whether we want to change the flag. We had to get into our thinking groups and discuss who wanted to change the flag and who didn't. We researched about the old flag and came up with ideas to add the the class discussion. After that we got a form each with a photo of the new flag and the old flag, then we had to tick the flag we wanted to keep or change and we put them all in the envelope.  One thing that makes me want to keep the flag is because our Maori ancestors fought under the flag and it represents heritage, freedom and independence so changing the flag would break parts of that!

Choosing A New Flag!

Today we had to choose what flag we wanted to become the new flag of NZ! First we had to look at the flags for 4 minutes and then we had to find a partner and discuss what flag we wanted. Then we found another buddy and talked to them about what we think, and for 2 minutes we got into groups and talked about our choices! In my group was John, Manu, Zahn, Dontalian, Jacob and me! We all chose the second flag which is the Silver Fern (red, white and blue) because we thought it looked similar to our old flag and we don't want to change it! We also see it as as a flag that people can look at and go "That's the New Zealand flag!" 

         That's the flag we think New Zealand could have!
