Adaptations when leaving your home country

We are the same but different...

Caitlin's dad came from Ireland when he was twenty years old.

 He missed his family - Raymond 

In Ireland they speak a different language as well as English - Adwoa 

 Some foods are the same as here - Sally 

 At Christmas they have snow - Marina 

 at night time in New Zealand it is morning in Ireland - Caitlin 


 Raymond's mum came from Ethiopia but spent most of her life in Sudan ( Africa)

She came to New Zealand when she was 12 -  Ellahzade

 She couldn't speak any English at all when she came - Evander 

 They have the same things we do like shops, food and drinks - Cee jay 

 Not everyone has as much money as New Zealand - Giavanni 

 People wear special clothes but now young people change what they wear - Raymond

 Room 2 had a great time hearing all about living in other countries and how it is different than living in New Zealand.

  7. It looks like you all listened really well to what the parents told you about how they adapted to life in New Zealand. When I came from England, even though the languages are the same, I found out that some words are different – did you know that ‘jandals’ are called ‘flip flops’ in England? Also we never call trousers ‘pants’. ‘Pants’ are undies! From Mrs Robyns
