Hi Jalen Thank you for writing to me. It was great to hear that you were reading "Searching for Sea Lions" - and I was very pleased to hear that you liked it. Thank you. Swimming with sea lions is definitely cool. Where is Point England School? Let me know when your blog is posted, and how to find it please. I have written 17 books and booklets for children - all of them about cool stuff like whales and dolphins and penguins and seals and sealions and Antarctica - maybe there are some more in your library or resource room. All the best Kim Westerskov

Fiji by Jalen

Here is Jalen's speech that he presented to the class. His chosen country was Fiji!

Ni Sa Bula Vinaka.
Fiji is an island in Melanesia, which makes me Melanesian as I am Fijian.
Fiji's islands were formed through volcanic activity that started about 150 million years ago. Fiji is made up of two main islands with over 30 smaller islands. Fiji has a tropical climate. It has lots of forest areas and a beautiful marine life.
The capital of Fiji is Suva. I love Fiji.
Vinaka vaka levu.

Here is a short clip of our mufti day fundraiser. Our whole school ate lunch together on the field and then there was some music and dancing to follow. During our assembly Mr Burt shared with us that we raised $747 but by the end of singing our "Responsibility" song we managed to put together $781. All the money raised will go to the schools for the children in Christchurch.
