Hi Ruby
ReplyDeleteOur families are such special people. I am so pleased that you have them all as your important things.
I would have my family as mine too.
What is the best thing about having a sister? I only have one sister too and she is older than me.
Is Lucy your Sister?
Your next activity you have copied and pasted onto your blog I can see. It is really hard for someone of your age to summarise this story. But remember we don't do that. Next time even if you just write a couple of bullet points about it, it is better than copying the words from somewhere else.
Did you know that Kate Sheppard is on our $10 dollar note?
Because of her hard work getting New Zealand women the vote, so well done there Ruby.
Keep up the good work
Until next time
Allie :)
