Hi Aiden
ReplyDeleteYou have done some amazing work on researching our native birds. I like that you have put a photo of each bird so the reader can see what they look like. We have lots of Fantails at our house, there are very friendly birds. Which one of these birds is your favourite and why?

Kia Ora Aiden,
ReplyDeleteyou have gone above and beyond to find information about 6 birds. I like how you have included a picture with each bird. When you are doing your blog post, check that all the words are on the white page, so that it is formatted correctly. Next time I want you to write the facts in your own words.
Which bird is your favourite?
