ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! Very nice work, Cheska!
DeleteHi Cheska,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!! I am so pleased that you have joined us again this holiday. I am also really pleased to see that you have already posted so many activity blogs. You've clearly been very busy! I am really looking forward to reading through all of the activity posts.
From a personal perspective it is so cool to see that your favourite things to do in Auckland involve walking and swimming out west. I actually live on the west side of Auckland and I try to get out to the Waitakere Ranges and the beaches as often as I can. My son, Aronui, is a huge fan of bush walks and we often go adventuring through the native rainforest out west.
Have you ever been to the Waitakere Ranges by any chance? If not, I would highly recommend it! It takes about 30 -40 minutes to get there by car but it is well worth the trip...
Speaking of trips, I hope that you will enjoy your 'trip' around New Zealand as part of the Winter Learning Journey programme. We really are so lucky to live in such a great country, aren't we?
See you on Day #2,
Rachel :)
