Hello Madison,
ReplyDeleteI'm Evelyn and I will be working with the Summer Learning Journey team for 2018-2019 to read and follow amazing blog posts like yours! I am so excited to read what pops into that wonderful brain of yours and hope you have fun on this journey!
Those are some interesting facts about New Zealand! I've lived here my whole life and had no idea about some of these facts so thank you for telling me more about our country, well done Madison! Please remember to make sure you put the information into your own words. I live in Auckland and had no idea that the Sky Tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the Southern Hemisphere! I have been up the Sky Tower twice. I am not afraid of heights but it is quite scary up there, especially when there are glass panels on the ground in certain parts of the tower so you can look right down to the floor! Have you been to the Sky Tower in Auckland before? You can bungy jump off the side of it, would you be brave enough to do it? I know I wouldn't dare to!
Happy blogging,
Evelyn :D
