I'm reading my class writing snapshots as part of confirmation of their end of year assessments. I've just started the 4th of 23. I have to share the first sentence - I think it's terrific!
"Shattered memories swirl like a hurricane."
10yo writing. What do you think??

Part 1
Apologies for another lengthy post, but I am still reeling from yesterday's decision.
The decision to remove the requirement for school boards to give voice to Te Tiriti is a LOT more than an attack on the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and our commitment to bilingualism.

Right when we're all gonna need a Lifeline the most...
At least the people to blame for Lifeline having their funding cut are the same people who are likely to make us ring.
Let's make it so less people need a Lifeline and enroll to vote if you haven't already.

You give me hope that politics can be turned around still. From Canada I hope our politicians take note that a campaign like yours can win. I hope you can succeed is doing what you want to do for your city.

When I heard Dr Nick Chamberlain on #RNZ saying that the measles vaccine is not like Covid, it's a scientifically proven vaccine... I pulled over to see what his role is...
Wow, that's a strange comment to hear from the Health NZ National Director.
