Zaeeda-WLJ- # Week 2 Day 5 (Leaders!)

Week 2 Day 5: Leaders!
Today we are here with some completely different activities. I'm really excited because this is the last day of the Winter Learning Journey so let's make the most of it.

Activity 1: Leaders!
Throughout this week we looked at different leaders. Barack Obama, Jacinda Ardern, Nelson Mandela and Jessica Rogers. Each of one of these amazing people were resilient in some way.

For this task we had to, find out the definition of the word resilience then talk about how each other leaders were resilient we then have to talk about one thing we would like to keep practicing from each leader.

Activity 2: Leaders!
Throughout this week we looked at different leaders. Barack Obama, Jacinda Ardern, Nelson Mandela and Jessica Rogers. Each of one of these amazing people were resilient in some way.

For this task we had to  2 leaders from your family then use an image of 2 people and an explanation of what makes them effective leaders in your family. 

Every family has a leader. Someone who carries the family and provides each and every member with the care and love they need. The amazing person that always there for you and continues to support you. I didn't say a name but that person popped into your head didn't they.

In my family it's my mum. She amazing! She wakes up every morning at 3 am and goes to work. After a hard day at work, the fun has just begun. She finished at 3pm and if off to pick up her 3 children, 2 in primary and 1 in college.

After she's picked up her daughters, my mum then come home and does the house work. Cooking cleaning grocery shopping, vacuuming, you name it she does it. But even after all that she continues to smile and persevere, she never gives up or complains.

But it doesn't end there. Despite the fact that she already done so much, she has to do it all alone. My dad is barely home and when he is, he's getting plenty of rest. He's a mechanic and that means that he gets called out a lot, and he does many night jobs. So my mum has to do most of it alone, so she has to be quite on to it.

My mum is always there for me and my sisters, she helps my dad and even provides for our family. So in my eyes I see her as my hero. She saved me many times from rethink at school.


My family is very fortunate to have 2 amazing leaders. My Mum and my Dad, my Dad isn't the kind of leader that does one super noticeable good deed. He's always there, ready to help, Support and advise.

He encourages us, by giving us the best pep talks. He helps my me and my siblings with our homework A LOT. Just in general my dad is very encouraging in towards our learning at school and education.

He's known widely in the community for upholding a reputation of being super helpful. He's always up to the task in helping anyone out. Whether it's getting a car jump started or helping someone start up there own business.

Another reason that I personally find my dad to be an amazing leader is always there to give advice He's done many things in his life, and has a lot of knowledge, as it comes with old age. That's why I find him the best person to ask for help and advise.

As you can see, there are many ways that he is a leader. And it's not just doing one good thing it's continuously doing something, THE RIGHT THING!

Activity 3: Extra Activities 
We had to create a post in which we are sharing 3 quotes that the leaders in our family say. When the had to post it on our blog with an explanation for each one.


This first quote if about being back at school. Just because it's not lockdown anymore we should still continue to learn and grow and keep going. I don't really know about you guys, but for me especially lockdown was a really important time in which I reflected upon myself. After lockdown I had a fresh start and I got to restart things that I hadn't done very well in. I kept going and kept growing. Also remember It's important to do your best!




This one relates to a quote my family said during lockdown which was "Sunshine is yet to shine on this cloudy day" we said that because, we were all waiting for the good news of, NO MORE LOCKDOWN to be announced which was going to be our sunshine. But now we speak of it as pass tense. This quote also relate to the fact that lockdown wasn't all that bad. New friendships were made but overall we became better as a community.

There are many great people the believe that nothing beats hard work. Well, a similar quote is spoken by my parents, especially my mum. My mum is known too work extremely hard providing and raising 3 kids. She also works a lot at home, a quote I often hear her say is Don't fear work, work should fear you. Basically meaning don't stop working because they're is too much work to be done just keep going and keep persevering. 



Activity 4: Bonus Activity
For this task we had to write a message that we would like to send to everyone in New Zealand. This message had to be somewhat encouraging. We also had to choose three emojis to some up this weeks Winter Learning Journey.

Here is my encouraging message. It isn't much but basically everyone has done a good job at getting things back on track and back to normal. We just need to keep being amazing.
👌😎🤔
I chose the ok hand as, my holidays and the winter learning journey has been okay. There wasn't anything that has made this holiday the best ever. But we still have one more whole week.

I also chose the emoji with the sun glasses. Because these activities were decently easy and I cruised through them, which gave me enough time to relax and just chill these holidays.

The last emoji was a thinking sign because, most of the activities this week, were the same ones I completed in one of the Summer Learning Journeys I did.

Welp this Winter Learning Journey has come to an end. I did enjoy the activities, and had quite a bit of fun completing them. These holidays I did a lot of relaxing at home, and preparing, because we have a busy term a head of us, and my mum's birthday is on Monday but you'll hear more about that later. SEE YOU NEXT TIME! <3

Zaeeda-WLJ-# Week 2 Day 4 (Taking Action)

Week 2 Day 4: Taking Action
Today we are going to be learning about people who did some amazing things all to make prove a point. This was because they had a dream and believed that they could achieve their dream, and change things for the better!

Activity 1: A Long Walk To Freedom
Nelson Mandela is an civil rights leader and an activist. He was born and raised in south-Africa. South Africa had a political system called Apartheid, for over 40 years from 1948-1991. This meant that they had different rules and customs, South-Africa had different rules for people with lighter skin.

Nelson Mandela didn't feel to well about this, and thinks that everybody should be treated equally. Fortunately, Nelson Mandela became president and put an end to Apartheid. He changed the political system for the better, but this wasn't before he went through some hard times. Mandela spent 27 years in jail before this.


Mandela 18 years in Robben Island Prison. As you'd expect life was tough, but he got through it. Mandela spent his days breaking rocks into gravel, he was forced to work in the quarry all day long. At night he would study hard, learning to become a lawyer. He was allowed to have 1 visitor and a letter every 6 months. Life was hard!

expect life was tough, but he got through it. Mandela spent his days breaking rocks into gravel, he was forced to work in the quarry all day long. At night he would study hard, learning to become a lawyer. He was allowed to have 1 visitor and a letter every 6 months. Life was hard!

This is my letter,  I did have some trouble as I have no idea what jail is like. I have never even seen a jail in real life. So this did take some time and a really good imagination.

That brings us to an end of another day. Only a couple more days left in these holidays. I can't wait for school to start up again. There were so many things we haven't gotten around to doing so I bet that this term is going to be one rollercoaster of a ride. And I'm looking forward to it!

Zaeeda-WLJ-#Week 2 Day 3 (Dear Jacinda)

Week 2 Day 3: Dear Jacinda
We are back with another day. I really enjoyed doing this because, it allowed me to test a still in that we are also practicing in Class. It was also the right amount of challenge. <3 

Activity 3: 'Dear Jacinda'

For this task we were allowed to choose a topic that affects our country. We then had to research and write a letter to Jacinda Adern addressing this problem. This task was heaps of fun, especially since I have an interest in politics!

Dear Jacinda Adern
 I am writing to inform you about the pollution problem, not just in the world but happening in our local communities. Our schools, beaches and streets are flooded with rubbish. No matter how many pieces we pick up, and how often we clean up. Rubbish continues to get everywhere!

 Our locals, are not the main problem anymore as they now know that it’s not good to pollute. However when our trash cans are overflowing and the wind is blowing. Rubbish gets everywhere!
 This rubbish is harm our environment and will continue to ma major problems.

1. Our gardens and that won’t help the plant
2. Float out to sea and hurt our sea creature
3. It can fly everywhere and get stuck in the drain gutter and even get blown into the shop

I suggest we should do something about it urgently. Here is my solution.
 Step: 1 We could empty the bins more often because this would help the bins from overflowing and it would make the community look much neater and it wouldn’t hurt our environment.
 Step: 2 We could have bins, in which we sort the rubbish. That way we could have our plastic, waste and recyclable rubbish in one place. I know that this would help because Pt England have started a Bincurity team that help the student of Pt England School recycle and sort their rubbish into 3 different bins 

1. The black lidded bin where we put our soft plastic like chip packets and glad wrap
2. The Yellow lidded bin where we put hard plastic card board and clean paper we also put in thing with the recycling sign in it
3. The red lidded bin were we put waste the thing we don’t want and don’t put in the other bins like fruit skins and wet and gross things

Step: 3 We should also get more bins, more bins means more space to put rubbish in and less chance of rubbish overflowing 

That is my solution I trust you are capable of putting this plan into action. In saying I hope that you will give me the time of day to read this, and that we can do something about this rubbish harming our planet because I care about the enviroment, we need to do something other than talk we need action. Please Help!

 Kind Regards Zaeeda
Pt England School

That ends the third day of the second week doing the Winter learning journey. Had heaps of fun and this weeks one. I can't wait to continue learning these holidays.

Zaeeda-WLJ- # Week 2 Day 2 (Wominjeka)

Week 2
Day 2: Wominjeka
It's the second day of week two, and we have another activity. For this task we had to use our maths skills. I really enjoyed today it was just the right amount of challenging and it was some different!

Activity 2: Rights and Wrongs

For this task we were asked to find out how old Dr Jessa Rogers was when she received the award. She was born on 7 April 1985 and she received the award on 9 July 2010.

Jessica became the first school principal and youngest (Aboriginal principal in Australia). She was the principal of a school in the far-north of Queenstown, Cape York Girl Academy for young mums and babies. Jessica was rewarded with the NAIDOC Youth of the Year award in 2010, has gone on to win many more awards and write several books all because her work has improved several indigenous educations. 

The answer to this mathematical question is 25 year 3 months and 2 days old. I know this because....

Equation) 2010-1985=25

So we know that she was 25 years old. I then added on months to the date, because that's how long it's been after her birthday and how long it's been after she turn 25 years old.

April + 3 months = June

7 April + 2 days= 9th April

So in total we have 25 years 3 months and 2 days old.

So Jessica was 25 year 3 months and 2 days old when she received the award.

That brings us to an end of day 2, of week too. This is the last week of the holidays :(. I'm looking forward to school; kind of. But for now, let's finish these activities to the best possible, standards we can.

Zaeeda-WLJ-# Week 2 Day 1 (Kia Ora)

Week 2

Day 1: Taking The Lead!

I'm back with another amazing day doing the winter learning journey @ team 5. It's week 2 and this week we will  be focusing on people who have tried to make a change through activism and politics. the

Activity 1:Playing Favorites

For this task we were asked to name 5 things we like to do. We then had to take pictures of us doing those things. I had fun both doing this task and the activities I enjoy doing.

Barack Obama was the USA's president from 2009-2017. Barack Obama, was the first USA President to be first African-America. He was born in Hawaii with a father from Kenya-Africa and an American Mother. His parents separated when he was young and his father died when he was 21 years old. 

Barack Obama, met his wife when her studied law at university. Together Barack and Michelle looked for way to help adults and help other in there community. Barack and Michelle are usually doing there favorite things when there not working. this includes spending time with their family, playing with their dog, or going to the gym.

That ends the first day of the second week doing the winter learning journey. Had heaps of fun and this weeks one of my favorite topics. I can't wait to continue learning these holidays.

Zaeeda-WLJ-#Day 5

Day 5
Today is the last day of the Winter Learning Journey. I've enjoyed this week and have had a lot of fun. Today's tasks were quite fun today!

Activity 1
For this activity we had to share 3 quotes that our family have said from about getting back to school in level 2. 


This first quote if about being back at school. Just because it's not lockdown anymore we should still continue to learn and grow and keep going. I don't really know about you guys, but for me especially lockdown was a really important time in which I reflected upon myself. After lockdown I had a fresh start and I got to restart things that I hadn't done very well in. I kept going and kept growing. Also remember It's important to do your best!

It's important to take care of yourself.  When your feeling down find one good thing to smile about it. It's the number one solution to any bad day. It can be for any reason. But I promise that it will make both you and the person next to you live a happier day.



This one relates to a quote my family said during lockdown which was "Sunshine is yet to shine on this cloudy day" we said that because, we were all waiting for the good news of, NO MORE LOCKDOWN to be announced which was going to be our sunshine. But now we speak of it as pass tense. This quote also relate to the fact that lockdown wasn't all that bad. New friendships were made but overall we became better as a community.


Bonus Activities

We had to come up with a message that we'd send to everyone in Aotearoa. It has to be 10 words at the most.

We also had to choose 3 emojis to show how we found this week.
👌😎😐

I chose the ok hand as, my holidays and the winter learning journey has been okay. There wasn't anything that has made this holiday the best ever. But we still have one more whole week.

I also chose the emoji with the sun glasses. Because these activities were decently easy and I cruised through them, which gave me enough time to relax and just chill these holidays.

The last emoji just means that, I'm waiting for something else, something to make this holiday just a little bit more entertaining.  As you can see I'm a little bit underwhelmed right now. I hope you enjoyed this weeks WLJ activites!

Zaeeda-WLJ- #Day 4 (Good As)

Day 4: Good As
Today is another day of me doing activities from the winter learning journey. Today's activities are activities I don't think I've done before. But they were just as challenging as any other. Let's Start!

Activity 1
This activity was a little bit more challenging then the others but it was nothing to hard. I did enjoy this task and like the level of challenging it was. I liked how we got to research a sports star and come up with similes for it!

Here are my similies.

1. As fast as a cheetah

2. Stronger than an ox

3. As stubborn as a mule

4. As cool as ice!

That concludes today's activities they were a lot of fun. Today is definitely my favourite of the days. Serena Williams is my favourite sports stars because she also had a lot to say about women's rights.

Zaeeda-WLJ-#Day 2 (Tusitala)

Day 2: Tusitala
Today's task was really fun and neutrally challenging. I enjoyed this activity, and didn't find this as challenging because I had completed a task like this for the winter learning journey.

Activity 1: Big Friendly GiantOur task was to describe what we imagine the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) looks, smells, sounds like. In the begging I got stuck with this task but I made it in the end.

The big friendly giant is a book written by Roald dahl. He was a british writer, fighter pilot, spy, and inventor. But he was mostly known to be the amazing author of dozens of kids books. He wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, George's Marvelous Medicine, The Twits, Matilda and so many others.
In all of his books he has plenty of fascinating creatures. Some of the most vicious evil spine chilling villains and the kind, warm hearted heros. He had also an awesome vocabulary to describe these characters. He created words himself words like Scrumdiddlyumptious, catasterous disastrophe, sizzle pan, bundongle, churgle, darksome, snozzcumber, frumpet, gollup, grunches, and mideous. Here is my description of the BFG!

The BFG was a calm and friendly giant. He had a warm smile and he was swift whilst he collected the children's dreams every night for as long as anyone can remember. He was like a sweet old man the kind that would invite you into his house, and give to cookies and show you pictures of his grandchildren. 

Every night after collecting the dreams he would attentively, recording the dreams on piece of paper. The old fragile creature, would meticulously labeled each bottle. Sorting them in a careful manner. 

This activity was mildly challenging I had fun doing this task. But it was definitely fun I'm looking forward to doing more. ALOT MORE!

Zaeeda-WLJ-#Day 1 (Kia Ora)

Day 1: Kia Ora These holidays our amazing teachers in team 5 have created a series of Holiday blogging activities for us to complete. Everyday I will be posting an activity, explaining what we had to do and so on.

Activity 1: Exploring Your Roots
For this task we had to create our own pepeha. We got a template and a site to use for this activity. I enjoyed this task and it was definitely easy, in future I hope we get to do more challenging tasks.

Here is my pepeha, I differen't really know what else to add to it. Because it's a really basic thing, and I'm proud to know mine. This task was exceptionally easy because, the teachers at school encourage us to learn things like our mihi and pepeha. 

This activity was inspired by a famous New Zealand Director. His name is Taika Waititi. Not only is he an actor but he is also a Filmmaker, Director, Actor and Comedian. He has create/directed many popular films like, "Hunt for the Wilderpeople and "Jojo Rabbit". As a child Taika Waititi lived in Raukokore. When he graduated from high school Taika Waititi moved to Wellington and studied drama at Victoria University.

Even though he moved away he didn't forget his roots. No matter what he didn't forget where he came from and who his family is. Taika Waititi come from a family for of different Diversities culturally. His dad is Māori (Te Whānau-a-Apanui) and his mother is Russian-Jewish.
Today was fun, I'm looking forward to doing more the activities for the days ahead, but I do hope the these tasks get more challenging.

Zaeeda-ELJ-# Week 2 Day 5 (It's Good Friday)

Week 2 Day 5 (It's Good Friday)

Last day of doing the Easter learning journey, I have to say the first activity was really cool and I enjoyed it.  School starting in a few days and Isolation is still happening too, let's stay strong.

Activity 1: Hope

For this task we had to create a poster of 2 things we hoped for today. 

Well I hope that school will start up again soon and we will still have most of our events on and I also hope that the lock down would end son. This is because isolation has made it really suffocating, and if you know me. You'd know that me and my family travel a LOT!

Extra Activity

For this task we had to imagine we could send a text to anyone in Glen Innes. We also had to choose 3 emojis to describe.

 👌   😜   🎨

If I could send a text to someone it would be Stay Home and Stay safe cause that's exactly what we need to do. And well there isn't much else we need to do other than practicing good hygiene.

This week was lots of fun and I can't wait for school to start up again, soon. S T A Y  S A F E and Stay Home!

Zaeeda-ELJ-#Week 2 Day 4 (Special time at Easter)

Week 2 Day 4 (Special time at Easter)
It's the second to last day of the ELJ, we have 2  tasks to complete today, so let's work hard. We may be in Isolation but I just wanted to say HAPPY EASTER!

Activity 1 
The first activity required us to share what our family normally do during Easter. Share whether or not it's different from Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Usually me and my family wake up in the morning and have a big breakfast. This usually has something to do with chocolate pancakes and strawberries. My aunty makes the best pancakes every year with her homemade whipped cream. It's always delicious.

We then get ready pack some food, bucket/spades and sunscreen, because we were going to spend the whole day at the beach. There we'd meet some of our other relatives, there's usually 30-40 people there. It's was always a lot of fun at the beach we go swimming look for crabs and so much more.

But before we came home we have a HUGE picnic each family would have to bring something to share. We would arrive home late after watching the sunset, and after the somewhat tiring day the still hyper children would do an easter hunt. Thus letting us end the day playing, chatting and eating CHOCOLATE!

Activity 2
Document what you did in this year during Easter. It would've been a little bit different since isolation and everything is happening. Choose to share this in any form you want.

Here is what we are doing this Easter. It's not what we usually do, and It's nowhere near as fun as spending the day at the beach. But it's isolation and things are different so it's okay and definitely something, so I'm happy. 

Zaeeda-ELJ- #Week 2 Day 3 (Let's Start Traveling)

Week 2 day 3 (Let's Start Traveling)
We are 3 days into the second week. Let's start today activities we have 2 tasks to complete. It's also the last week of the holidays so starting next week we will be having online classes.

Activity 1
For this task we had imagine we were going to travel another country. We then had to create a travel guide for the country our family connects to.
Activity 2
For this task we had to think about if we were to go on the trip to the country. We then had to choose two people to take on the trip, with us.

Even though my family is made up of 5 people. If I choose 2 people to take on the trip with me. I'd take my mum and older sister.

Firstly my mother usually goes on the trips to Fiji, and when she does Zaria my younger sister gets taken. So if me and my older sister went we'd be able to see my one year old niece. It would be nice is me and my sister went and left my dad and Zaria behind.




I'd take my mum, because she lived in Fiji half her life. And if we did go, we would probably stay with my grandmother a.k.a my mother mum. It would also be nice for my mum to visit Fiji without having to go places, plan something and or be occupied with a job.

So that's why I would take those to people.

That concludes day 3 of week 2. I hope you enjoyed, I definitely did. I found this week a bit harder than last week, but I always love a challenge so this was fun.

Zaeeda-ELJ- #Week 2 Day 2 (Family Capital)

Week 2 day 2 
We are still in isolation and but we are on the second to last week of isolation, so let stay strong and keep going. Also we have 3 tasks to complete so let's do it.

Activity 1
The first task required us to list the countries out family related to, for me it's Fiji. We then had to research that country, so the population official language and flag.


Activity 2: Family Capital
For this task we had to use our whakapapa from yesterday and create a map of the countries our family are connected to.

Here is my family capital, which is Fiji. This is because most of my family that goes back around 15 generations in Fiji. But me, my siblings and, my cousins are born here in Auckland, New Zealand.

Zaeeda-ELJ- #Week 2 Day 1 (Whakapapa)

Day:1
Week:2
Welcome back to the second and last week of the summer learning journey. Isolation is still happening and will be for another 2 weeks but let's make this work and try and have some fun!

Activities: Family Tree
For this task we had to make a family tree. We can expand our tree to include our siblings and our parents siblings. After we had completed the tree, we had to fill in the names and places we then had to write the culture of that person.

Here is my family tree, it includes my maternal and paternal grand-parents. I also included my mum and dads siblings. I have 2 uncles on my mothers side. My dad side has around 12 siblings, as he has a 2 step families, so I included the ones see more often. At the bottom you have me and my siblings. And as you can see my whole family is made up of Fiji Indians, but the wife of my uncle Albert is Samoan.

That brings us to an end of this week. I enjoyed this task and it happens to be the biggest family tree I've made, I usually just stick to my grand-parents, parents and siblings.

Zaeeda-ELJ-#Day 5 (It's Friday)

Day: 5 (It's Friday)
Well we've officially finished a week of the summer learning journey and there is only one more week 

Activity
For this task we had to find three different quotes from our family that we found helpful. We then had to share and explain these quotes on our blog.

The first quote is based on us facing Corona virus, it's about how this is a tough challenge. And we have been faced with this challenge because it is believed that we can overcome it. It also mildly relates to how we should stick together and get through this together.


This one isn't as poet is the last one. But I found that it was quote emotional. It's basically means it's okay to show you are scared as long as you are able to somewhat work through it. My little sister was the one that actually said this, and it wasn't even to one of our family members it was to one of her toys.


I'm pretty sure I've seen this one before. My mum probably read it in a magazine or something, because this one seems familiar. I guess it's about seeing the silver line in any situation and that we'll be okay soon.

Extra Activity
For this activity we had to come up with a text that we would send to everybody in New Zealand, right now.

Here is my text, it's not to long. But I hope that it will help some New Zealanders have comfort.

Especially since we have to be apart, sending something somewhat heart-warming will hopefully keep us together. At a time like this anything is good, and should be done. Also I already have said this to most of the people and I just want you guys to stay safe take care and wash your hands!

Zaeeda-ELJ-#Day 4 (Back Home For A Moment)

Day: 4 (Back Home For A Moment)

Here is day 4 I enjoyed doing it. I did struggle with getting the exact length and width measurement of my house, but I did get it eventually. This task was fun to do cause it really made me look at ways that different houses and buildings can be improved to and not just my house.

Zaeeda-ELJ-#Day 3 (Let's Start Traveling)

Day: 3 (Let's Start Traveling)
Day 3 has arrived we have 2 activities to complete so let's try our best to complete them!

Activity 1
For this activity we have learn about Tane Mahuta, Rangitoto island and Karekare. We then had to pinpoint where three of the different destinations are, on a map.






Activity 2 
After that we had to choose our favourite destination and post on our blog why we enjoyed visiting that place, and what we did there.

My favourite out of the three destination is Rangitoto Island. It looks amazing in the pictures and being in a city surrounded by 50 volcanoes. Rangitoto being the biggest and youngest of them all. It's also close to the city and on an island.

That brings us to an end of day 3. Today was fun and I liked the first activity it was really fun. I'm really enjoying these next 2 weeks, I can't wait to do more. HAPPY APRIL FOOLS AND FIRST OF APRIL!

Zaeeda-ELJ-#Day 2 (Never Lose Hope)

Day: 2 (Never Lose Hope)
Welcome to day to, I decided to mix it up and do it a little differently today. We have 2 activities to complete today so let's do them well. Like always they all have something to do with NZ. I'v been looking forward to doing more so let's start!

Activity 1 & 2: Our New Zealand Flag
For this task we had redesign the New Zealand flag. Our original flag was made in 1902 it's 115 years old. So it's been with us a while. Our New Flag must have the minor ability to spread hope throughout New Zealand as we continue the fight with COVID-19.


Here is the original New Zealand flag, it's got the union jack on the top left and on the right are 4 star that represent the southern cross. This however is not our first flag. This flag has belonged to our country for a long time. However many people have mistaken our flag for the Australian flag, and because of that people have tried to replace this flags many times.

Here is the redesigned version. The colour scheme changed from blue white and red to black and white. I changed the design quite a bit because our original flag looks very similar to other flags. The fern on the left represents the natural wonders of New Zealand. The southern cross is in the original so I just changed the colour, I wanted to keep something from the original. The last thing on the flag is a very simple map of New Zealand. I wouldn't even call it a map,it's basically just the shape of NZ. On most old maps New Zealand isn't on it or is said to be part of Australia. I think that this would be a good way to show that we aren't apart of Australia, but our own country!

The flag above was inspired by this black and white flag, I made in 2017. And the colour scheme of this flag was inspired by the all blacks, and the anchor represents Auckland the City of Sails. I think is was okay, for a 9 year old. But looking back at it, I don't see how it relate to all of New Zealand. It's more of a flag you would use while sailing or something. I think the newer flag is much more of and improvement. 




I think that the redesigned version would make a great flag, and would definitely remind Kiwis that NZ is a great place, and we will make it through hard times. We are one family and we are working to defeat this pandemic.

That brings us to an end of day 2. I think that this might've been my favourite day of all not just because of the number of tasks. I really enjoyed redesigning the the New Zealand flag. Even though I like it the way it is. It's really fun being creative and letting our ideas flow because the possibilities were endless.
