Day 1 - Activity 1


Activity 1:  Go to the Tourism New Zealand website and click on the ‘Facts - New Zealand People’ tab. Read about the people of New Zealand and then choose three interesting facts to post on your blog. The facts must be written in your own words. Do not simply copy and paste the facts from the website☺.
  1.  To become a New Zealand citizen, you must swear an oath of loyalty to Queen Elizabeth.
  2.  New Zealand is one of the world’s least populated countries with over 4 million populations.
  3.  The largest city in New Zealand is Auckland although its capital city is Wellington.

    Hello Freeman, I didn't know that you had to swear an oath of loyalty to Queen Elizabeth to become a NZ citizen. Keep up the blogging during the holidays.

      Hi AJ,

      I was also surprised by the fact that you have to swear an oath of loyalty to the Queen of England before becoming a citizen of New Zealand. It never occurred to me that new citizens would have to do this. I am originally from Canada (another commonwealth country that was formally under English rule). I wonder if you have to swear an oath of loyalty to the Queen when you become a Canadian citizen as well...

      I'll have to ask some of my friends and family back home.

      Cheers, Rachel

    Malo e lelei Freeman and welcome to the Winter Learning Journey blogging programme. We are thrilled that you have joined us and already posted an amazing 9 activity posts. WOW - that is really impressive!

    I hope that you have enjoyed your journey so far and learned quite a bit about this amazing country that we call home. Like AJ, I had no idea that you have to swear an oath of loyalty to Queen Elizabeth when you become a citizen of NZ. I am actually planning to apply for citizenship over the next few months so this fact is particularly relevant to me. Thanks for sharing!

    Keep up the great work, Freeman. You're doing a great job of sharing your learning and teaching us new things.

    Cheers,
    Rachel :)
