Hard Work
This was so hard...
We tried hard to find Margaret Mahy’s Email
Address, for this year.
Sadly we could not find it. We could only
find her 2001 email address. So that did not
help with our inquiry learning.But it
eventually became easier!

Questions
We asked our Principal ( Ms Alderson)
some interesting questions about
Margaret Mahy and she answered one
of our questions!!!
We were happy because that answer
was an excellent boost to our
fantabulous book.
We emailed a lot of emails to her but
she was too busy for us!

CitizenShip
We learnt about Citizenship and what
a good citizen looks like and how to
become one. If you were born in NZ
you can be a citizen or if you moved to
NZ for at least 5 years. Then you
become a NZ citizen ( if you ask to).
