We+Belong

Understand how the cultures of people in New Zealand are expressed in their daily lives There are many interesting countries and cultures in the world. Talk to your family at home, where have some of your family come from many, many years ago? What is special about me and my family? We can record our family history on a family tree. Each branch of the tree shows another set of parents. Some families have very long family trees that go back many, many years. How far back can your family tree be traced? Family Crests - Coat of Arms These designs are like a logo that represents a family or group. New Zealand has it's own coat of arms. It looks like this... What can you see in the 'Coat of Arms' that is special to New Zealand? Mrs Lark's Gran was from the Forsyth family. This is their 'Family Crest' and the family tartan. Our Class Coat of Arms We used Kid Pix to make our class Coat of Arms  We had to think about the colours. We chose Our Kairanga green and the colours of our table groups. We had to think about what is important to our school. We chose learning, theme, sports and our rural activities like Lamb and Calf Day. We put our class name on it. Me and My History I can introduce myself in Te Reo using my mihi. This tells people about my family and where I come from. Ireland
