Stonefields flag by Angela

Up up and away poem By: Jade W

Come on,

Ella and Maya,

Time to find somewhere to play,

Up up and away we go,

Let's see where the wind takes us today,

Here we go,

The wind takes us up up and away,

Let's go far away to find ourselves a place to play,

Here we are,

Fiji,

Time to play all day,

Woah…

Up up and away,

Let's go somewhere,

The wind takes us up up and away

Let's go far away to find ourselves a new place to play,

Here we are,

Hawaii,

Time to play all day,

Woah…

The wind is taking us home,

Let's see what other adventures we have another day,

Goodbye wind,

See you another day.

Dear John Key,

My name is Austen and I am in year five at Stonefields School,Auckland

I think that the flag should be changed to the new flag.

I think that it should be changed because the  silver fern represents the new Zealand sports teams and our countries. I also think we should have the southern cross because it shows where we are in the world and our position on the globe. I also like the colors. Black because it is the national color and blue because it represent's the blue water and skies.

I also think we should change the flag because it looks too much like Australia's flag. Another reason is out of the 53 people in the commonwealth only four still have the union jack. We are also an independent country and the we have evolved since the current flag was elected.   

Yours Sincerely

Austen.

Dear John Key,

My name is Aashna, I am 10 years old, I am a year 6 from Stonefields School. I sent this letter to you just to give you my opinion around the New Zealand flag. I think that we should change it, I have 3 reasons why.

Firstly, I think the current flag looks to much like Australia's flag and lot's of people from other countries get confused with the flags.

Secondly, I think that we should change the flag since we don't really belong to England anymore.

Thirdly, I think that we should change the flag since the new flag has a black bit that represents heaps of our sports teams like Black Caps, All Blacks, Tall Blacks, Black Ferns, Black Sticks and so on.

That is why I want to change the current New Zealand flag.

Yours Sincerely

Aashna
