For this activity, let’s imagine that you could be a superhero for a day. What three superpowers would you most like to have?

On your blog, please list the three superpowers, tell us why you have chosen each one, and tell us what you are going to do with them.

If I could choose three superpowers I would choose:

Water-powers: I would choose water powers because I would like to control water and be able to help animals in hot places that need water to survive.

Talk With Animals: I would choose to talk to animals because I love animals and would love to talk to them and also so I could help them if they needed it.

Flying: I would choose flying because I would really like to fly really high in the sky with all of the birds and other animals. I would also like to fly so that I could dive bomb into the water.

On your blog, please tell us about your cultural background. Where do you and your family come from?

My Great Great Grandparents on my mum's side of my family came to New Zealand from Ireland and have been living in the South Island and West Coast since then.

My great great grandparents on my dads side came to New Zealand from German, Ireland and Scotland.

My Mum has chosen to stay on the West Coast  because she likes living in a small community (where it is not busy), with her friends and where her family is around her. 

I like to explore the outdoors, going swimming, playing lots of sport together with our friends and especially playing and spending heaps of time with pets/animals,
