Bonus Activity:

To earn full points you must describe the flag, in words, below the picture. Please tell us what is on the flag and what inspired your design.   

This is my Aotearoa flag. Did you notice that every colour on this flag actually represents something. The White colour represents the long white cloud,  The Green colour represents the land including Grass, Tree's, & many more land things. Last of all the Blue represents the water / Sea. The background of the black represents all sorts of things like the All Blacks, Maori & many more things. This whole thing here is my bonus activity.
