Hi Acein,
ReplyDeleteIt’s Leslie here, writing to you from Canada where it’s very cold and snowy. Hard for you to imagine, I’m sure! I’m a member of the Summer Learning Journey team and I notice that you have written that you'd like to get better at writing. I think you might really enjoy some of the Summer Learning Journey activities because they give you a chance to write about your favourite foods, your favourite activities, what you most like about your home, and your ideas about how to make good choices for the world around us. There's also lots of information about the unusual animals and plants that live in New Zealand and in other countries in the world Fun!
There are still 3 full weeks left to participate in the Summer Learning Journey program called “The World Around Us”. Here’s the website address: www.summerlearningjourney.co.nz I hope you’ll take a look and try some of the activities. I’ll look for your postings and write back to you from Canada.
Meanwhile, have a really happy summer holiday.
Leslie
