Can Drive Mufti Day!


Image by FlamingText.com


Have you heard about the Can Drive Mufti day? Did you know it’s happening tomorrow? Do you know what this day is for? Well first of all this day is celebrated by many schools. This day was made for all those kids who have cancer and for the kids in plunket.



If you're wondering what do you do at the can drive mufti day? I have your answer and that answer is that you must bring a can of something, that can be put inside a cupboard that won’t go off. For e.g: Baked Beans, Spaghetti, Tuna, Corn and more.


Once you have brought a can of food you get to wear MUFTI! How fun is that you helping the kids and then you getting to wear whatever you want. If you want to help even more you could bring 2 cans because it is always nice to give a little more than you should.


These children are children they may be ages younger than you and this is a special day for them because you are helping out. When you help out it shows your kindness. If you want to help out even more you can donate some money or anything.


Helping these kids by giving food, money and more would really help. You could also pray for them. These children are suffering from cancer and they really need your help! They need you and it's your turn to help them out. How would you like to help these kids out? How would you feel having cancer? Why won't you try being in their shoes?

Flag Debate


Rendered Image

Have you ever heard that New Zealand might change their flag? Well this is a very true fact and New Zealand is planning on changing it but do you think it should change? This is a big question for New Zealanders on if they want to have a brand new one or have the same old one?


This is a question where you need to decide and my opinion would be NOT to change the flag. Think about it we have represented this flag for years and years and now they're just going to suddenly change it? Well changing New Zealand’s flag is a big issue.


New Zealanders only want to change it because it looks exactly like the Australian’s Flag and people are getting confused. Is that really the only reason why they want to change the flag? Well we shouldn’t change it because it would also save a lot of money, instead of using all the money to buy a new flag when we already have one.


The New Zealand flag has been represented many times in the past and history. For example the Union Jack symbol represents how strong we stick together with the United Kingdom (UK). In the past, soldiers have also fought and died under our New Zealand flag. Which that brings a lot of history into New Zealand.


If you agree with me then that is great because you are accepting our flag for it’s uniqueness and for our history that the flag has had in the past years. If you don’t agree with me then which flag would you rather have?

Hong Kong


Image by FlamingText.com

Have you ever been to the Hong Kong Disney Land or to Victoria Peak?  Hong Kong is a city  in the Southeastern of China. The name “Hong Kong” means Fragrant Harbour. Before 1842, Hong Kong is known as Hakka meaning Little Hong Kong the place where the fishermen and British sailors had the war. This is a small inlet now known as Aberdeen Harbour.  

Hong Kong’s population is 7.188 million. To fly to Hong Kong from New Zealand it takes about 11 hours and 35 minutes. Wow that is pretty long up in air. In Hong Kong, if the time in New Zealand would be about 5:54pm in Hong Kong it would be 1:54pm. Hong Kong is 4 hours behind New Zealand time. Hong Kong used to be a British territory but now is a big China City.


Hong Kong is a very big and busy city to live in and also a lovely one. Hong Kong is about 1,092 square km. which means it is 6 times the size of Washington DC. The Languages spoken in Hong Kong are mostly Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese)  and English. If you lived in Hong Kong your nationality would then be Chinese or Hong Konger. Hong Kong's national symbol is the orchid tree flower.

Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers just like New York! In Hong Kong there is a festival they celebrate every year between April-May. This Festival is called a bun festival and it’s meant to keep the starving ghost from staying on their island. In the festival they have made a tower, which is made up of buns but is actually plastic instead of baked.

Hong Kong money is in rank 8 for having the most traded money in the world. In Hong Kong they mostly eat noodles and the noodles cost about $20 and tea is sometimes for free. Hong Kong people eat noodles mostly on birthday’s which means  to have a blessed and long life.

Living in Hong Kong is a beautiful place to be in due to its beautiful view of fireworks, skyscrapers, coloured lights, food, festivals and more.
