The video didn't work so I searched up royal family performance on my phone and I
think that I got the right video but this is what I thought.

I thought that it had been practised a lot and they were in sink very well but Hip Hop
is not my favourite music of dance. I think that they deserved to win. I didn't really
like the costumes but they were very bright. There moves were good but again it's
not my favourite type of dance.

I am not sure if this is right. The hockey stick is because I play hockey. The cowboy
hat and I heart country music is because I love country music. The cow and farm is
because I live on a farm and a cow is my favourite animal. The tree is because I like
going of bush walks. The sister word because I have 2 sisters. The friendship
symbol because I have lots of great friends. The bird because I have birds. The
mountains because I live around mountains and the kiwi because I am from NZ.

Activity 1: Fashion forward [4 points]
For this activity, please read this article about where some famous New
Zealand brands got their names from. Brand names are very important to
companies as this is how they are known.

On your blog, tell us how Twenty Seven Names got their name. Looking at
their clothing brand, tell us whether you think this is a good name for them, or
if they should change it to something else!

The Twenty Seven Names got their name because there were 27 people who helped
get the label off the ground. I think that Twenty Seven Names is a good name because
it represents all the people that helped. I think that this is the best name for it. When I
first saw the brand name I was wondering what it was so it could draw people to want to
know what the brand is. The only thing that would be a pain is that the name is quite
long.

I have done it before and I did the no eating. All I ate was one pack of the little lollies
that we use for it. I wanted to do it because when we watched the video at school I
wanted to help. It was hard at dinner when everyone else was eating. I would
definitely do it again. The one that I wouldn't do is no talking because it is hard to not
talk and I would probably blurt out a word on accident. I think the 40 hour famine is a
great way to raise money for the refugees.
