Activty 1: The Legend Of New Zealand
1. New Zealand is a country it has a moari name that it's Aoteroa this mean the land of the long white cloud. When The Word is broken up it is Aotea is the name of one of the waka/Canoe that the tribe travelled to New Zealand, and roa = long. The common translation is "the land of the long white cloud". But In some traditional stories, Aotearoa was the name of the canoe of the explorer Kupe, and he named the land after it. I think that maybe we should learn more about the names and more about the stories behind them.
2. Kiwi's are New Zealand's Native Bird does the name remind you of anything maybe a certain fruit I am talking about Kiwi fruit but these Beautiful birds are flightless birds they inhabitat bushes of New Zealand. Sadly an average 27 kiwi are killed every week that about 1,400 kiwi lost every year at this rate the entire kiwi population will be wiped out in one lifetime about a hundred years ago we had millions of kiwi roaming our world. We need to look after our wild life more!

You also need to make sure that you are not copying facts of websites and things like that. if you are in a in doubt about an add or something like and email and it's to good to be true is you should ask an adult. if you get something unkind and nasty you should also tell someone responsible about it.
