OUR FLAG of CHOICE

In March, NZ as a country had to vote for a national flag. One that would see us through the years to come. 
There was a lot of debate around which flag would be chosen, even in our little neck of the woods. 

Would New Zealanders stick with the flag we have had 
or would Kiwis vote for the new flag designed by Kyle Lockwood.

This prompted us to research some history around our current NZ flag as well as the flags from around the world.
Take a look at some of our learning...

The redesigning of our flag, for us, by us!





In our class the race for the flag choice was made...
It was a close race, but we voted and by the narrowest of margins R9 chose this flag...

  14. It was really hard for me to chose because I really liked the silver fern on the new one but I liked the union jack on the old one and I thought we had the old flag for long so I voted for the new flag.
