Bonus Activity: Snail Mail
In the 1950s, most people communicated with one another by writing letters. According to the NZ history website, New Zealanders sent over 200 million letters and postcards between 1950 and 1960. That is an average of 87 letters per person!
For this activity, imagine that you are living in New Zealand in the 1950s. Use Google Draw* to design the front of a postcard that you could send to a friend. Try to include elements of Kiwiana in your design (e.g. Pohutukawa trees, Hokey Pokey ice cream, etc). Post a copy of your postcard picture to your blog. Be sure to describe what you have drawn on your blog beneath the picture.
So my picture show 4 fantastic birds and only one mountain parrot also i put in a photo that show lovely nature and a waterfall.
*You will need to make a copy of the Google Draw template to create your postcard.
Hey Mason,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely postcard! I like how it is very green and has so many different native birds. It represents New Zealand's green, native bush so well. What inspired you to design it like this?
Well done!
Nicky :)
