Panmure Bridge flag vote

Here are the votes of Panmure Bridge School's choice of flag. Most of the juniors voted for the New flag as the seniors voted for the old flag.In this google drawing It explains what I have predicted and have created a graph to show you which flag won.

The NZ flag

Today in class we all individually voted for the flag of our choice. We all made sure that we made an informed choice. To make an informed choice we created a T - chart with the sides yes I want to change the flag and no I like the flag we have. We worked in our thinking groups and used our devices to help us make an informed choice. At the end we all joined our ideas and made a class T- chart, our teacher then gave a a voting paper to make our final choice. One of the main reasons I chose the original flag is because the original NZ flag is an important piece of history, soldier fought with that flag and is know world wide and once we change that not many people around the world will know our NZ flag that represents us.Overall LS2 respected each others opinions. 

P.B.S flag vote

 At school we have been talking about the NZ flag. Our senior schools voted and these were the results.

Choosing a new flag

 

 Today we had a discussion about the New Zealand flag. We looked at the different flags and their meanings. To choose a flag of our choice we did a 4-3-2-1 this also had to do with oral language.

- 4 minutes to read the meanings behind each flag and to decide which flag represents New Zealand the best,

- 3 minutes to find a partner and  discuss why you chose the flag and to give some details,

- 2 change partners and tell them why you choose this flag

 -1 minute to buddy up with another pair of students to get in a group of four so you can see other point of views of the other flags and just incase you would want to change your mind.

 Our activity was to create a 50 word paragraph to make an informed choice. We did this so that our decision on a flag would be final and because we work better together. My choice of the 5 flags was the red white and blue silver fern. At the end of Oral language we went to the new building to vote.

 People chose this flag for reasons such as: I made personal connections to it, It represents multiple cultures and also because it is instantly recognized as New Zealand's. The other 2 of the people in our group chose the first flag for reasons such as:  I liked the design and because it's easily recognized as ours due to the Silver Fern.
