Summer learning journey – Toa Samoa – wave that flag activity 2

Talofa and welcome back to my blog and for today’s second activity.  I read and watched some more videos from the Toa Samoa vs The Kangaroos.  I then had to have a talanoa (conversation) with my whanau, find out what flags they felt connected to.  Here are the flags they gave me. NZ, Australia, England and Maori. I then had to choose one to share on my blog.  I chose the Maori flag.  Here is my poster showing what the Maori flag represents.

Flags are important to individuals, because it shows others where they come from but also can represent beliefs and customs.  Sometimes flags can also represent the history of a significant event. Flags like ours and Australia for example can also show unity.  Ours has the Union Jack which represents the United Kingdom but also the commonwealth which our countries are part of.

I’ll see you next time

Bye

Summer Learning Journey – Toa Samoa – Wave that flag activity 1

Kia ora welcome back to my blog. Today I am going to be talking about the samoan flag and what things mean on the flag. I had to listen to a video of people talking about Samoans in Auckland celebrating as Toa Samoa took on the kangaroos. After I  listened to what they were saying I had to read a story about it. Then I had to watch a video of the meanings of the flag. Here is a photo of my poster explaining what I learnt about their flag.

 

 

Have you learnt something new? Do you have a flag you feel connected to?  I know I do.  I feel connected to the New Zealand flag as this is where I am from, but also I feel connected to the Maori flag as I am a Maori descendant.

I hope you enjoyed.
