from Julianna
Kia Ora Julianna and welcome to the Summer Learning Journey programme for 2017-2018. I am SO happy that you have joined us again this holiday!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you and your family have had a wonderful holiday and that you've had plenty of time to enjoy the gorgeous sunshine. We have been inside much of the week blogging with students as part of the Summer Learning Journey. I haven't minded at all, though, because the blogging has been so interesting.
Speaking of interesting posts, I really enjoyed reading your post about Maui and your letter to Maddy. Is Maddy one of your best friends? I really liked the way that you introduced yourself in the letter and told her how you would be feeling if you had to go on a waka across the ocean to a brand new place. I would also feel very nervous to travel so far from my family.
I hope that you will continue to share your great posts with us this summer. I always enjoy reading them and love that you are learning, creating and sharing over the break. You will return to Pt England School next year all ready for Year 4!
All the best,
Rachel :)
Hi Rachel
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my blog. Maddy is my cousin. She is the same age as me because she is eight. I hope you have a great holiday too.
From Julianna
Kia Ora Julianna,
DeleteThank you so much for writing back. I'm really sorry that I didn't write back right away but, for some reason, I didn't get an alert to let me know that you had posted a reply!
Did you and Maddy have the chance to spend time together this summer? If so, what did the two of you do? Anything special?
I hope that you are now back at school and enjoying the start of a brand new term of learning. I can't wait to come into Pt England soon to hand out the certificates and prizes for the Summer Learning Journey programme.
See you soon!
Cheers,
Rachel :)
