The country of New Zealand is made up of two main islands – the North Island and the South Island. Approximately 77% of the New Zealand population live in the North Island. Many of these people (including our Summer Learning Journey design team) live in Auckland city. Auckland is a great place to live with lots of amazing parks, beautiful waterways and stunning scenery to enjoy. It is also a busy, vibrant city with many cafes, museums, galleries and theatres to visit. I feel lucky to call Auckland my ‘hometown.’
Now it is time to think about your hometown. What is special about where you live? On your blog, describe your hometown. Be sure to include lots of describing words (adjectives) in your post.
In my hometown (Panmure) we have an awesome public library where you can use the free internet, partake in after-school activities and they're currently doing a holiday activity programme. We also have a big public pool, a community centre and an old stone cottage.
If images of places that I've mentioned aren't there then they weren't free to use.

ReplyDeleteI really like how you added lots of detail and gave credits to the people that own the image, that way you won't get sued/copyrighted.
This reminded me of when i did this activity, which you probably know because you left a lot of comments, thanks!
Maybe next time you could have you could show pictures or name the holiday programmes. Other than that no problem.
