  1. Kia ora Johanna,

    My name is Leisha Ferguson and I am with the Summer Learning Journey. I live in Auckland and I am part of the team that will be commenting on your blog posts over the summer. I am really looking forward to getting to know you and reading your interesting blogs :)

    You have done a great job at completing all of the day 1 teaser week activities. You have found some really interesting facts about Lorde. Did you know who she was before starting this activity? Thank you for also sharing your pepeha. It is wonderful to get to know you a little more. You have also come up with some fantastic new words! I would love to know what they mean! Can you give me a description for each?

    I hope you have enjoyed the teaser week activities. I am really excited for you to start week 1 of the Summer Learning Journey on Monday 16th December. We have some really fun activities for you to do. I am looking forward to seeing what you post about next.

  2. No I don't know who Lorde was before.

    Ishagish means to let me think while talking, Lineatick means that to flick of a light switch, sagereal means that things were real but not any more, strockbash means that in a pool you do a strock then you bash into the water the get up again and do the same thing and grygetter means to try to get something.

    Yes I have enjoyed the teaser week I know what I'm doing too because I have done the Summer Learning Journey twice.
    Thank you for the helpful comment.

    1. Hi Johanna,

      Yes I am - thanks for asking :) I am going to Otorohanga, which is where I grew up and where my family still lives. I am going there on Sunday. I cannot wait to see my family and spend some quality time with them.
