Hey Emma,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Summer Learning Journey! I'm so pleased to see you blogging with us this summer as we look at matters of the environment— we're going to learn so much together!
Thanks for sharing with us your '3 Top Facts' about New Zealand. I love your presentation, it really stands out. I find all of your facts really fascinating, but the one that intrigues me most is Fact # 3— Māori mythology is paramount to our culture. Do you know where Māori came from?
I look forward to reading more of your posts— keep up the great work!
Cheers
Jordan

ReplyDeleteWell done! I really appreciate the research that you've done, and I appreciate the thoughtful response to my question, so much so that I'm going to reward you with 2 bonus points. I see that you've picked up on the use of the macron on 'Māori' too— great work!
