Kia ora Sophie,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emiely (pronounced "Emily") and I am part of the Summer Learning Journey team who will be commenting on your summer blogs! I like the way you have done a rainbow pattern with your blog posts. It looks really effective. How creative of you!
Activity 1: You have done a great job translating these phrases into English and Te Reo Maori. Did you enjoy using Google Translate? Maybe you could have a go at translating these phrases into other languages. French? Japanese? Samoan? Go crazy with it and have fun! I always like to give other languages a try!
Activity 2: Thanks for sharing these interesting things to do at Waitangi. Haruru Falls sounds like a very cool place. I wonder what it looks like? Maybe you could add a picture of Haruru Falls so that people can see what it looks like. I know I'd appreciate seeing it :)
Bonus activity: These are some great questions to ask Bill Kini. I like the way you have asked open-ended questions. Open-ended question are great because you get an explanation with lots of detail instead of just "yes" or "no" (these are called closed-ended questions). Super work!
Keep up the great blogging! You're doing an awesome job, Sophie.
Noho ora mai,
Emiely :)
