Coat of Arms

As part of our inquiry (Ata-whakaaro/Reflection) we have been looking at the Coat of Arms and how in the past these have represented a part of people's identity. They can show what family, tribe, group or country somebody if from. We each created our own Coat of Arms on a shield shape that had four parts. Each part shows something about us: 

  • the first letter of our name
  • symbols or shapes to represent our family
  • a picture of something we are good at
  • things we like to do in our spare time

Here is a look at our finished work...


...don't they look amazing?!?

  1. Wow Haumia! You guys have done a fantastic job. This is a very creative activity. I love how you guys used different colours, shapes and pictures for your Coat of Arms. To answer the question at the bottom, absolutely. I really like how you guys did it on a shield shaped piece of paper/cardboard. I think the blogpost is great too. I really understood what you did and what you had to add.
