Hi Patricia and Cadence
ReplyDeleteThanks for the guidance and feedback I am also learning new things about NZ history and enjoying doing the activities
Hi Nickaela
ReplyDeleteGreat job on completing this activity and starting the Summer Learning Journey, I like how you looked at all of Mauis good qualities as a person. Do you think Maui would have had a lot of friends because of these qualities?
