What makes us Kiwi?

I would really love to know what makes us unique as New Zealanders. When I think about New Zealanders I think about Buzzy Bees, Marmite, Pavlova, L&P, Fred Dagg, Wearable Arts and of course Reuben Patterson an artist who is famous for working with glitter.

What do you think makes New Zealand special? Please leave a comment and tell me what you think.

When Dean and I lived in london we missed lots of things. Like Pavalova, peanut slabs, onion dip, the beach being so close, our car, christmas in the summer, BBQ's and the beautiful mountains in the South Island. We loved seeing your blog and can't wait to catch up and see what else you are up to in the classroom. From the Kinnanes
