Kia ora Chadwick,
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely meeting you! I am so excited that you are joining us for the Summer Learning Journey 2019-2020. Have you done this programme before? This year I am so excited that I get to read & reply to the Manaiakalani blogs, last year I was in the Kaikohekohe cluster. So this is my second year with the Summer Learning Journey! I’m really looking forward to summer, aren't you? In my spare time I like spending time at the beach and hanging out with my friends.
I also love taking my dog for walks although only in the early mornings or late evenings as it is getting quite warm! What are you looking forward to doing this summer?
I really love the effort that you have put into creating this post, you have even included a picture of Royal Dahl! Adding relevant photos to your blog post keeps us interested, I am sure your peers will agree.
In the future please make sure you are completing what the activity is actually asking you so you are eligible for full points :) The activity is asking you to write a character description of the BFG using your descriptive words. In future you would need to edit this post to get the points, but since this is teaser week it is all about learning. What would you do differently next time?
But keep up your awesome posts Ben, can’t wait to read more!
Cheers,
Georgia
