A great way to learn about New Zealand / Aotearoa. 2 Different Options: ♦ Flags with facts. ♦ Flags with a blank side (write your own fact, draw a picture, etc). There are 30 different facts to (hopefully!) enable each of your students to have a different fact. Two flags per A4 size paper. Finished flag size is approximately 13.5cm x 7cm. Use a wooden skewer (or something like a drinking straw) to make the flagpole. Examples of the Facts: ♦ The Māori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa. This word means “Land of the Long White Cloud." ♦ New Zealand has many volcanoes. This is because it is located on the edge of the Pacific Ring of Fire. ♦ Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to climb Mount Everest in 1953, was a New Zealander. ♦ The biggest city in New Zealand is Auckland. The capital city is Wellington. ♦ New Zealand is home to the heaviest insect in the world, the Giant Weta. ********************************************************************** © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources

This is a booklet that covers some basic information about The Treaty of Waitangi: ♦ WHAT - what is it? ♦ WHO - who signed it? ♦ WHEN - when was it signed? ♦ WHERE - where was it signed? ♦ WHY - why was it necessary? There are four different flag options for the cover page: ♦ United Tribes Flag ♦ Union Jack ♦ Current NZ Flag ♦ Tino Rangatiratanga There are three different versions: ♦ Pages with text. ♦ Blank pages – picture of flag with the words ‘The Treaty of Waitangi’ on the cover. ♦ Blank pages – picture of flag with the words ‘Te Tiriti o Waitangi’ on the cover.
