I think that changing the New Zealand is a bad idea. 25 million dollars to change a flag is a waste of money. You could be spending it on much more important things. However it does look a lot like the Australian flag and sometimes it is good to change things around. The New Zealand flag has been changed four times so its not like it has never been changed. My overall opinion is that we should not change the flag as it is a waste of money but if we did have to change it these flags are my favourite.

Art

Our task this week is to write about our art. I really enjoy art and I do it quite often at home if I have some spare time. I usually draw horses because I really like them. I enjoy sketching more than painting as I don't really like to paint.


What art skills would you like to work on?


I would like to work on painting and using more colours because I usually just use the
the same colours in my artwork.


Do you have any good ideas for your class to do for the the art exhibition?


No I don't really have any good ideas for the art exhibition but I think doing something with lots of bright colours is good because it would stand out quite a lot.

Two people I would like to invite for dinner are Katie Laurie and Charlotte Dujardin. Katie Laurie is a Grand Prix show jumper from New Zealand and has competed over seas quite a few times. Katie Laurie competes at world cup level witch is 1 meter 50 to 1 meter 60. Charlotte Dujardin is a dressage rider from England and owns a horse called Valegro witch she competes in dressage. They both compete internationally.

Questions for Charlotte:
How did you get to Grand Prix dressage?
How many horses do you compete with?
Have you ever competed in show jumping?

Questions for Katie:
What age did you start riding horses?
How many horses a day do you ride?
Do you do anything other than show jumping?
