I know these things about New Zealand...that when you go to Queenstown you have to drive along side the lake. I know that the Prime minister of New Zealand is Helen Clark. I know that the Governmet is in Wellington and that Wellington is the Capital City of New Zealand.

What is important to me about New Zealand

We each had a lump of Play-Dough. We each had to make something that was important to us about New Zealand, like water, the Kiwi, houses and people. I made a church and Jared made water (a lake).

Place Mats

These are the questions for our place mats about New Zealand...What does each picture make you wonder? If your were in this picture how would you feel? What do you know about this picture? and Who would be here and what would they be doing? My favourite place mat was the picture of Mount Cook because it is big, white and covered in snow.

Tuning In 'The National Anthem'

We listened to the National Anthem and said every thing we knew about it. We know that the All Blacks sing it before a big match and that it is sung at lots of other sporting events. The first verse is sang in Maori then the second one in English with a Haka in the middle. When we listened to the National Anthem we felt proud to be a Kiwi.
