Mrs N wanted to have a skite


In the holidays I was lucky enough to go to the island of Vavau'u north of Tonga and I got to swim with humpback whales. I will try and attach a photo onto this for you all to see because I am so proud and still so excited about my experience, especially when I got to touch a humpback baby's flipper. See below for the photo opportunity viewing...

Kia ora Room 8, This website has some challenges for you. Pick which one you need to work on the most: basic facts, algebra and then look at the other tasks. Don't delay look how fast the first week has gone.
