We're going to sink?

Day 5: Blink and you'll miss it
Activity 3: Going, going, gone
On your blog, post a description of life in New Zealand in 2018. Please remember that the people who read your post will have never been to New Zealand or even seen a picture so it is your job to ‘paint a picture’ of New Zealand using your words. You can also post pictures, if you wish. Be sure to fully attribute the pictures.

New Zealand is, well was. An amazing place to live in. We had some pretty fun times together and silly ones too! My favorite place to go was to my relatives house. Although our country could be small, we still treated it with proud and with mana (honer) we looked after our country very well. Sometimes it was a bit rainy, but sometimes it’ll be super sunny and hot. If it was either of those we would sometime go outside and play in the rain. We might have even gone to the pools on hot summer days. 

From the world if you have a look at New Zealand you might be able to say that it looks like a giant fish. More like a…...stingray! 

(Maui and the giant fish)

 Legends says that one day Maui had no food so he went off to search for food. He searched for days and nights, but still couldn’t find anything, but one day. He saw a big giant thing in the water. Maui quickly grabbed his hook and through it into the water. He pulled with all his might. He pulled and pulled. The giant fish came splashing through the water and stayed in one spot while Maui was still on it. And the big giant fish became the north side of New Zealand.

Moving on, that is also an amazing thing about New Zealand we love to tell magnificent stories about our country. Anyways onto describing now. If you go down to some of our beaches (yes I said some) you will get to see blue clear luxurious water and get to fell nice hot sad! We have amazing pools from Paraikai to Swimarama. We have well looked after plants and grass. Our grass in lovely to play on. sometimes it just stopped raining then some of us like to play in the muddy grass. Like I said our weather does play up sometimes so if you are here be sure to pack a mixture of clothes.

  1. Hi Jahzara,
    In this post you've found a very good way to describe New Zealand, I liked how you used a bit of Maori mythology and added the Maui story in there. Furthermore I really appreciated how you took your time on describing small details such as our beautiful grass and nice pools. Last but not least, you mentioned our many beaches and our infamous weather change patterns. I reckon that you manage to accomplish a very good painted picture of New Zealand in your readers head with this piece of writing! Ka Mau te Wehi!
    PS. I like your drawing as well!
    Kia kaha,
    Patricia
