Cultural Background

Today is the first week of the summer learning journey. For this activity we tell us about our cultural background.

Activity 1: New Zealand Royalty

Today l was doing the SLJ Manaiakalani Teaser week challenges.  For the first activity we created a profile pic poster on the famous Lorde New Zealand singer. I first added interesting information about Lorde and a image with her name along the side of it. 3 Interesting facts l found out about her is that her real name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich- O'Connor, She first wrote her own song when she was 13 years old in the year 2013 and Her most famous song that was released is called Royal. l really enjoyed making this Lorde profile pic poster because it helped me learn more about how she is a change maker to others.
