Things you might not know about New Zealand !
1) New Zealand is one of three countries in the world that has two official national anthems.2) To become a New Zealand citizen you must promise to be loyal to Queen Elisabeth.
3) When Maori first came to New Zealand they saw a long white cloud witch in Maori is Aotearoa.
My thoughts
Number 2 surprised me lots and so did number 1 and I think I learnt lots doing this.

You have definitely read the information carefully because you have tried hard to paraphrase (put into your own words) the facts you read, well done. Next time it would be great if you elaborate a little bit more on the facts that you shared. For example, why must you swear an oath to the Queen if you want to become a New Zealand citizen?
I really like that you included some of your reflective thoughts at the end of your post, it shows you are thinking further about what you have learned. Keep working hard!
One thing I find inspiring about Aotearoa is the fact that we were the first country that gave women the right to vote. This movement was led by Kate Sheppard. We are a small but amazing and strong nation don't you think?
You've made a good start to the Summer Learning Journey, I hope to see more from you soon :)
Toe feiloa’i fo’i (see you again),
Cia.
