ReplyDeleteHi Deborah, this is Mrs Collins and I'll be commenting on blogs over the term break. Well done on posting and participating in the SLJ this year. I like the post you created on "Discovering Aotearoa" and sharing about your family history. When we moved to New Zealand we too had to leave all of our family behind in England, but they, and some of our friends, have been out to visit many times... Do you speak Tongan at home? Keep blogging, and commenting on others to increase your chance of winning one of the awesome prizes, and to keep up your learning over the school break!
ReplyDeleteok thank you Heather.
