Explorers Discovering Aotearoa
Activity 2 for Explorers says I need to write about where I come from so here we go. I am Scottish, Dutch and NZ European. I know, a pretty weird combination. My dad is Scottish which is why my last name is Macdonald. Macdonald is a Scottish clan also the most popular clan in all of Scotland. My mum's side of the family is Dutch so that't why my Opa And Oma's last name is Geerlofs a Dutch last name. And I was born in New Zealand but I am not Maori so that means i'm NZ European. So that is my family Background. What is you're family Background?

Hi Adriaan,
ReplyDeleteNice! That is a very interesting family background, it is wonderful to know where we come from and to share this with others :)
Do you know what part of Scotland your dad is from?
Can you tell me a little about the picture on your blog as well?
It might be good to explain this so that people visiting your blog can know as well!
Thank you for asking! My family is fifth generation New Zealander and before that my mother’s side was Irish and my father’s side was from Australia. :)
Keep up the awesome blogging!

Hello Gabe! Thanks for blogging again, you have commented on almost every Summer Learning Journey Post, Thank you! Sorry but I do not know anything about where my dad comes from except its somewhere in Scotland. But I do know what the picture means. The Picture is the Macdonald Clan symbol which is the most popular clan symbol. It was lovely hearing about your family. Cya Gabe!
