My Speech

Everyone has a place in the World.


This is my place Aoteara New Zealand.
My place is made up of two main islands
that lie in the South Pacific Ocean.

 My place is a country of stunning  natural beauty. From rolling farmland,
mountains, trout filled lakes, beautiful  
beaches and active volcanoes.

 What makes my place so special.
Its people like you and me.
We have a population of 4.4 million
friendly and interesting people.

 From the top of the North Island to
the bottom of the South Island
my place has plenty to see and do:

Auckland the city of sails has the Sky Tower.

Rotorua  famous Maori culture
and beautiful hot pools.
Wellington the windy city,
Parliament, Beehive
and Te Papa Museum.

 

Christchurch Botanic gardens

and parks.
Queenstown the adrenalin and adventure
capital of my place. You can ski, jet boat,
bungy jump and  skydive.
Dunedin with its wonderful tramping
tracks.

 

My place has its own kiwana:
Hockey pokey ice cream, fishnchips,
watties tomato sauce, gumboots,
jandals, kiwifruit, marmite
and the pav.
Did you know that new Zealand is one
of the safest countries in the world to live in.
Here’s a little bit of famous history in
my place.

Dutch Sailor Abel Tasman becomes the

first European to reach my place
New Zealand in 1642.

 1840 The Maori sign the Treaty of Waitangi.
Sir Edmund Hillary becomes the first person
to climb to the top of Mt Everest in 1953.

In 2011 the Rugby World Cup was held
in my place and won by the All Blacks.

 My place produces wool, sheep & beef,
dairy products, grapes, kiwifruit, wheat
and much much more.

New Zealand is one of the world’s least
crowded countries.

I think I am very lucky to be living
 in my place New Zealand.
