Hey Everyone!! Dan here from the Diamond Minecart. Wait WHAT!! I am NOT the Diamond Minecart so I am very confused. This is about Flag choosing Not YouTube!! Anyway I hope everyone likes flag choosing cause it is time to talk about choosing the new New Zealand flag...



YAY

NOT!
Either way it is time to begin. 

The first Flag I would choose out of the 40 designs of flags would be the Land Of the Long White Cloud because I think it looks nice enough to be our flag if the time comes to change the design. It still has the Traditional Blue and the Red stars in the southern cross shape but it is still quite different to the current flag.

The second Flag I would go for would be the Manawa Blue and Green because I like wavy type things and it looks nicer than the Manawa Black and Green. The Manawa Blue and Green I like better than the other one because of the way they kept some features from the other flag like the stars.
Manawa (Blue and Green)
The 3rd flag I would like to choose would be the silver fern ( Black, White and Blue) Because the silver fern is an essential part of New Zealand as well as the kiwi. It holds a lot of symbolic meaning as well so I like it. The colours are seemingly in a sort of harmony with each other too.

The very last flag that I would go for would be the New Zealand Matariki which has the Seven stars of Matariki on the top bit with rolling hills on the bottom. I would choose it because even though the design sets us apart from the common wealth flags it still holds a bit of meaning.

Out of these 4 flags I like the Land Of The Lon White Cloud the best because it was like a sore thumb sticking out from the rest. Don't forget this is MY OPINION!! NOT YOURS!!!

Some opinions for changing the flag would be to set us apart from the Common Wealth flags and to just change the flag as it gets quite boring having the same flag year after year after year as well as being our own country.

Some reasons for me being against the new Flag is because you could spend 26 million bucks on anything and I would give away a portion of it to countries who are less fortunate than us. Another reason is that why would you spend $26 million on something that doesn't really need changing I mean. Come on people! $26 million could be spent on other things!


My Over all opinion is that we don't really need to spend $26 million and I want to keep it the same SO THERE!

Who likes Art these days?

HELLO everybody and welcome back to this blogpost today. 

This time it is time to talk.....
About.....
ART! 
YAY!

Alright then. My favourite Art form is in fact Sculpting.
If I had to try to sculpt anything it would have to be a European Dragon or Sea Serpent because of their stunning structures.

If K had to improve anything in sculpting I would think it would be the designs on the sculpture because you need to have a steady gentle hand or else the entire thing would get crushed. Also when designing the actual thing needs very careful thinking and concentration.

Do I have any good ideas for a school art exhibition? Well if your asking me that then I think I have a pretty good idea about it. My idea is sculptures displayed around the classroom.

I think I'll upload picture of art work that I've done this year.

Well that's me for this week and stay tuned for next weeks blog.

PEACE!!

Say who now!?

HELLLLLLOOOOO everybody!

Today is who I would invite to dinner, although, one of them has to be real though and I think I have someone in mind......

If I had someone in mind as a fictional character I think it would have to be a Clan Cat who is now in a Clan called Starclan and her name is Snowfur. I would invite her because because she is one of my favourite Thunderclan cats that there is in the forest ( If you don't get what I'm saying then you should read the Warrior cats series because of the references I make in my blogs!) Another reason why I would invite her is because of what she went through so I sort of feel sorry for her because she lost her mother when she was 12 moons old!!!! 12 moons!!!

Away from Snowfur the other person I would invite to dinner is my great- grandmother Evelyn as I don't really see her very much. She also came with me to Australia one time for my 7th birthday! It meant so much!

Another thing to do is to ask a few questions for my guests to answer. First up is Snowfur and I'll ask her a few questions like 'Do you miss your son Whitestorm and your mate Thistleclaw?'  
I would ask that question because Snowfur is in Starclan so she's dead. SO SAD!

Away from the death of Snowfur and onto Nana Evelyn. YAY!! the question I would ask is 'how long did you own a shop for?' as she used to own a shop somewhere in Masterton I think.

So this is pretty much my blog so I hope you have enjoyed reading this blog post and please do leave a comment in the comment section down below and until next time....


PEACE!!!!!!!
