Kiwiana
Kiwiana things are all over New Zealand. Do you know what Kiwiana things are? They are animals, objects and food. Can you guess what my favourite Kiwiana thing is? It is a kiwi. There are lots of Kiwiana things like gumboots, jandals, L&P and pavlova. A pohutukawa tree is the New Zealand Christmas tree. My favourite ice cream is hokey pokey. I love living in New Zealand.

Kiwiana can be anything like jandals. Let’s talk about a bird called a kiwi first. You can only find a kiwi in New Zealand that is why a kiwi is called Kiwiana. Now we are going to talk about a kiwifruit – it is found in New Zealand.
Third we are going to teach you about a drink called L&P. L&P is absolutely Kiwiana because L&P is made in New Zealand and found in New Zealand only.
Fourth we are going to teach you guys about something called a hokey pokey ice cream. I know heaps of people like to eat hokey pokey ice cream. It is a New Zealand ice cream, that is why hokey pokey ice cream is Kiwiana.
Buzzy bees are the thing we are going to talk about now. Buzzy bees are a New Zealand kind of toy. That’s why it’s Kiwiana.
The last thing we are going to talk about are jandals. Jandals are Kiwiana because in England people call them flip flops.

Have you had Pavlova and L&P? If you haven’t, then find it in the shops because it is so yummy.
Do you have jandals and gumboots at home? You should get a pair because jandals and gumboots are Kiwiana.
Do you know the All Blacks. Have you gone to the stadium, or were you at home watching it?

The buzzy bee was invented in the 1940’s, even Prince William has one.
L&P is a famous drink around NZ, it has lemon. It was made in a place by Tauranga called Paeroa.
Pavlova is like a foamy, creamy cake with strawberries and sometimes kiwifruit.
Jandals are special summer footwear with two rubber things that are curved around.
Jet boats are water rides. Then the last, the pohutukawa tree is NZ’s red Christmas tree.

We read some of our favourite stories. This was our very first time and we were a bit nervous. Palmy was behind the camera filming us.
A few weeks ago we hadn't even heard Thanh Truc speak as she tried to learn some English. Now she is reading her own story on camera!
Farhaan is really proud of the story he wrote. We are proud of the way he read it!
Stanley chose his best story to read for you!
This is Nikhil's favourite story.
