Favourite Facts About New Zealand

LI: to learn more about New Zealand
This week for the Summer Learning Journey I first read a story about Maui fishing up the North Island, with a magical hook from his grandmothers jawbone. So after that we went on a site and had to find our favourite facts about New Zealand. My Favourite three are:
It was the first major nation to have universal suffrage. In 1893 all male and female citizens are legally allowed to vote. I picked this fact because it was a major event and both gender in New Zealand had equal rights. 
New Zealanders are also called kiwis but kiwi is not a fruit. It is New Zealand’s native flightless bird. I also picked this as a favourite because we are called Kiwis resembling our native bird. 
The official language is English and Maori. I like that we have English in New Zealand as a language because its not that difficult to learn.

    I really like how you have told us your favourite facts about New Zealand. One thing you could improve is to make a Digital Learning Object.
    Other wise keep up the good work

  2. Kia ora Chris,

    Thank you for joining us on the Summer Learning Journey this year! I am part of the Summer Learning Journey team and I will be reading and commenting on your blog posts this summer.

    It is great to see how much detail you know about each of the facts that you have selected. I have enjoyed reading this blog post of yours.

    Did you know that sign language is actually also an official language of New Zealand. Have you ever tried to do sign language?

    Keep up the awesome work! I will talk to you soon.
