Day 3: It’s All in the Family
Activity 1: The More, the Merrier? 
In the 1800s, most families were pretty big. In fact, many parents had an average of seven to nine children. Imagine that you were a child in the 1800s and you had nine siblings.
On your blog, please tell us how you would feel. Would you enjoy being a member of such a large family? Why or why not? I don't want to be in a big family because there will be to much noises and not getting enough attention ,if theirs alot of family memebers ,but i do like my family now how it is

G'day Fasi,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you - with more children the parents may possibly pay more attention to some more than others. And, yes, it would mean a lot of things happening around the house.
And nice touch on being cybersmart and keeping your last name a secret ;)
Good work! Hope you have a great start to school next week!

Kia ora Fasi,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Megan and I am the cluster manager for the Ako Hiko (Mt Roskill) cluster. It looks like you have been doing a great job on your activities over the summer.
I was very interested when I read your pepeha and saw the the mountain you affiliate with is Mt Wellington. I, too, have a strong connection with Mt Wellington as I was brought up in a house on Mountain Road. The hill used to be my backyard. Do you live around Mt Wellington? Have you climbed it before?
Pepeha's are a great way to connect with people,. I was able to make a connection with you as we have a shared love for Mt Wellington. Keep this pepeha close to your heart as it is an important part of your identity.
I hope you had a lovely summer and enjoyed participating in the Summer Learning Journey.
Have an awesome day,
Megan :)
