We read a book called "The Refugee Polish Children". And because the main country they come from is Poland we did a research of Poland and research about their flag, currency, population etc. I didn't know a lot of Poland so it was interesting to learn about there culture. When we do a country research I especially enjoy learning about there wildlife. I would like to try Pierogi which are Polish dumplings and I've tried Goulash before and it's really nice. I would like to visit Poland one day.
Welcome to Huia Whānau a Year 7 and 8 class at Kaingaroa School in Northland, NZ. Our teacher is Mrs Hall.

One of the refugees we're too close to the edge, dropping small bits of rocks and sand. Which made everyone but her distracted. She climbed through, She was in a dim-lighted cave.

Spanish Translations
Isabel speaks Spanish since her home town is Cuba. We had to do some Spanish translations like senor, abuelita and son cubano. I had to do a bit of research for most of the words mostly manana and son cubano. I didn't really know much of Spanish.
Do you know that much Spanish?
