ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Summer Learning Journey 2018-2019 programme— I'm so pleased that you could join us as we delve in to matters of the environment both here in New Zealand, and across the rest of our world, too.
Thank you for completing your first SLJ related activity.
I really like the three interesting facts you have included in this task! My favourite is your fact about Gisborne, as it is my home town.
Well done Alex!

Keep up the great work.
Cheers,
