Hello Seleste,
ReplyDeleteI'm Evelyn and I will be working with the Summer Learning Journey team for 2018-2019 to read and follow amazing blog posts like yours! I am so excited to read what pops into that wonderful brain of yours and hope you have fun on this journey!
Those are some interesting facts about New Zealand! I've lived here my whole life and did not know about fact number 2 and 3 so thank you for telling me more about our country! Well done Seleste, make sure you are publishing your work in your own words. I think the Maori name for New Zealand is a pretty name, I also think your name is beautiful, I really like it! Fact number 2 is surprising to me, have you ever been to Australia before? I've been to Australia two times and both times I visited Sydney. It's a similar city to Auckland except the shopping malls over there are much, much bigger! Do you enjoy shopping? I think it's fun to walk around with friends and have a good time.
Happy blogging,
Evelyn :D
