New Zealand Culture

To begin our Rugby World Cup unit we have been looking at Culture - and what we think of when we talk about the culture of New Zealand.  We looked at things like: jandals, fish and chips, warm summers, paua, koru, wine,rugby, All Blacks, sport, gumboots and the buzzy bee etc.  After much discussion we came to the conclusion that this was all Kiwiana.
We then looked at what could be the culture of Wanaka.  We came up with things like the mountains, fun, skiing, swimming, lake, clear skies etc. We decided to design a flag that could represent the culture of Wanaka. 
Here are a couple of ideas that we came up with:
