Dear Max I was traveling from my home land to New Zealand on my waka and I would like to tell you about my story. Firstly I was really very scared and nervous to leave my home but I did it. On my way I was really excited and enjoyed because I saw dolphins jumping and flipping. The water was very clear but the tide was very rough but when I were close to New Zealand the tide calmed down. I also did some fishing and I caught lots of tuna and salmon with my fishing net. My favourite part about my trip was fishing seeing the dolphins jumping. You should also try this one day.

Kia ora Alex,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the Summer Learning Journey (SLJ) programme. It's awesome to see you online this week! I hope that you are enjoying the SLJ this year.
I enjoyed reading your letter to Max. It sounds like you had a great time on your trip across the ocean. It would be amazing to see dolphins diving and to have the chance to go fishing. I have never seen dolphins jumping but I did have the opportunity to see whales swimming past us when I was in Tonga last year. We stayed on Tongatapu for a week and each day saw a pod of whales swimming by our fale. It was pretty amazing!!
I hope that you and your family are having a wonderful holiday season. I'll look forward to seeing you back online as soon as you are able :)
Bye for now!
