Bonus Activity: Now it’s time to start your tour! Curious Kiwi decides to start by taking you on a short tour through downtown Auckland. You stop at the Sky Tower, the tallest building in all of New Zealand. When you look up, you see a huge New Zealand flag on the top of the tower. This flag was created back in 1902. That makes the New Zealand flag 115 years old!

Last year, the Prime Minister of New Zealand suggested that we should replace the flag with a new, updated design. He invited everyone in New Zealand to come up with their own flag design and submit it.

For this activity, it is your turn to design a new flag. Use any drawing programme that you wish.  Once you have finished, post a copy of your design on your blog. Describe the flag, in words, below the picture. Be sure to tell us what is on the flag and what inspired your design.   

This is my flag I have created, I decided to start from scratch and make it one a google drawing. Here I have the flag I have created, I wanted it to stay similar to the one we have already, so I stuck with Blue Background, The Union Jack, and the 4 stars. The changes I have added it the start are not Just red and also Photos in the stars, Oh and the words We are one in the middle. Anyways the Brown Star represents our Beautiful Country, the Black one means to never stop asking why, the white one means to love one another and lastly the last one means to stick together. Oh and the reason why I have done different shapes and color for the stars is because it means we come in different shapes and colours pretty much.

The text is pretty self explanatory!!
