The first picture is Sobey's where most of us get our food and last year one of our friends got us kicked out. The rest of the pictures in the first row are of our school including our field where we play soccer, football and baseball. The last set of pictures are of the ravine behind our school.

I chose this picture because It is the crest of our school. The two delta shaped wings flying over the globe signifies rising to the top and doing your best. Aorere College consists of many different ethnicities and are always welcomed to our school. Our school is not ony a benevolent place but its also safe. Students here can express there ideas to there peers without being shy. Everybody, whether your from overseas or not is treated equally at our school. There are a whole range of different sports that people can participate in such as rugby, soccer, cricket, basketball and many more. The teachers are very helpful because they give us their knowledge in order for us to suceed. The Latin words ' Virtus Caelum Reculdit ' means ' character opens the way to the heavens '. That phrase literally tells people all there is to know about our school, we strive to be the best and we achieve our goals. The second picture is there because it shows people the kind of technology we use at school. Our school is full of tools which enhance our learning environment. This is a very important factor of our learning because it enables us to work to our full potential. I think that it is good that we are using alot of tools to learn because we can apply all of the technology to reality. Everyday at Aorere College is a journey in which we always learn something new. Facilities are also available for us students to use. This is the school I go to, Aorere College, The school where dreams come true.

I live in the suburb of Mangere which is one of the Larger suburbs of Manukau City. Mangere was named after the Mangere Mountain (see above picture), which is one of Aucklands largest volcanic cones. The meaning of Mangere came from the Maori words 'Hau Mangere' meaning Lazy winds because the shelter the mountain provides from the westerly winds. Many people go to the Flea Market every weekend to either purchase or sell goods. Flea Markets are very similar to shopping malls but residents of Mangere and other suburbs are given the opportunity to sell their own goods. Products range from toys, food, clothes and more. The reason why I chose this picture is because having one of Aucklands largest scoria cones is cool. Its what makes Mangere unique and very different. Also Mangere Mountain is the only mountain with a lava dome (tholoid) which isnt found anywhere else in Auckland Volcanic field. Mangere Mountain has alot of history behind it and so does Mangere itself. When people come to Mangere they are bound to make new friends and have alot of fun.

My City


I chose this picture because it is one of the many landmarks in New Zealand. The Sky Tower is located in the heart of Auckland City. The Sky tower is a place many people around the world are familiar with. Tourists that come to New Zealand would visit The SkyTower to experience the journey through heaven with stunning views of the seas, buildings and some parks. People are escorted to the top of the tower via elevator. There are windows that allow you to see all the beautiful landscapes as you go up and up and up. There are many things you can do at the skytower apart from watching the views. For example you could dine, climb further up the tower or BUNGY JUMP!!. At night the tower lights up from top to bottom illuminating the city of Auckland with bright colours. This is truly a magical place to be surrounded by breath taking landscapes. This is the city I am from, Auckland, the City of Sails.

My Country


I live in New Zealand or as the natives would say Aotearoa which basically means 'The Land of the Long White Cloud. New Zealand is home to many Polynesians, Europeans and Asians. It has a population of around 4.1million people. There are many things you can do here and many places for you to visit. New Zealand is divided into 2 main islands North and South Island. Both islands have their benefits. For example in the South Island tourisits can visit Mt ruapehu, New Zealand largest skiing area. With beautiful views of white snowy mountains surrounding you everywhere you go. The North Island is kind of like the island devoted to only shopping. Its has many shopping centers and also has our famous SkyTower. I chose this picture because it shows people what New Zealand is like. The indigenous people of New Zealand are the Maori's. On the top, left hand side it shows to people wearing the traditional clothes worn by Maori's and how they would greet each other. The landscapes in this picture show beautiful scenery and all the activites you can do as well as the SkyTower (Once again). Even though our country is small you will always find a way to enjoy your day in New Zealand. =Task 2: Thinking=

Task A:


Brainstorm reasons why this picture could be relevant to your country. Make sure you give a reason for your ideas.


 * **Canada** || **South Korea** || **Portugal** || **New Zealand** ||
 * * The books could represent different people and the various things about them like their cultures, different lifestyles and the different things they know (books= knowledge )
 * The ribbon could be Canada bringing them all to one place and the ribbon is red like the maple leaf on the Canadian flag || * type your first idea here || These books represent the culture of the different countries, symbolize the knowledge acquired for each person of each country. Portugal is a country with a latin culture. This image also represents the school, because it is where we always use books and where we acquire more knowledge. Essentially these books transmit a ideia of knowledge. || * This picture could be relevant to New Zealand because it signifies New Zealand being a multi cultural country. For example, the books represent the knowledge of each individual person from their own country and the ribbon represents New Zealand. Therefore, this picture shows us about all the different ethnicities and knowledge of our country, New Zealand. ||

Task B:
Brainstorm all the attributes for each of your countries. Combine the attributes of your countries and together create a new country with these new attributes. Be as **creative** as you like, as long as you use the **attributes** of all **four countries**. Tell us...

 * Our new Country... Our new country will be off the east-coast of florida because the majority of the people like a warm and accessable area. Our country will be as big as California because that is a reasonable size of a country its not to big or to small. You should visit our country because it is multi cultural, it will have lots of tourist atractions, high quility education, tons of special events and great job offerings. Our country will have rolling hills and all around the island will be beach all you will see when you fly over it is big hills and sand.**
