Summer Learning Journey

For this activity we would like you to think about your own experiences and your own cultural background. Where does your family come from? Do they come from Europe like Abel Tasman, Polynesia like Kupe, or somewhere else?

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,

Collage Of A NZ Bird

We have been learning to make a collage on Google Drawing. We had to use the explore, mask and arrange tools to get our collage to come together. We had to make a NZ bird and put it into its habitat. It was a lot of fun, I found it easy to make a collage of a kiwi and I am really pleased with my bird. Have you ever had a go at this?
