Kiwi Culture

 This term I grew my understanding of myself, kiwi culture and Greek Culture as that was the country I selected for my "Another Culture" assignment. I learnt about some kiwi icons such as; Pineapple Lumps and Pounamu to a much deeper understanding. 

The most exciting part of the "Kiwi Culture" unit was the "Ko Au" slides where I was able to learn about myself in more detail. I also enjoyed learning about Greek culture.

Before this unit, I was only really interested in learning about other cultures history and facts but what I didn't realise, is that learning about; culture, heritage and identity is just as important. Not only was I able to use these words when applying it to Greek culture but I also applied it to myself which is so important if not more.

About me

 Kia ora, my name is Brooke. I am a year 9 student attending Bay of Islands College and I am a part of Totara house. I have four siblings, three brothers and one sister which are all younger than me. On my Mum’s side of my family, I am Māori and New Zealand European. On my Dad’s, I am English.

At school, I enjoy Social Studies but in particular; History. Throughout all of my schooling I have always found Maths more difficult than the rest of my subjects. This year my goal is to receive good grades through my Maths exam and the rest of my subjects too. My interests include dance, fitness and spending time with family and friends.

This year, I am looking forward to taking all of the opportunities I am offered. Another one of my goals is becoming more enthusiastic when doing subjects which I’m not particularly fond of.
