This is my email to Christina.
Hi there, Christina!
My name is Diana. I am an 11 year old girl from Palmerston North. How old are you? My birthday was on the 29th of September. When's your birthday?
I have two bothers, I mean brothers, one 13 and a 1/2, and one eight. They really do bother me! Do you have any brothers or sisters? I also have a one year old rabbit named Misty. Do you have any pets?
I am good at maths, spelling, reading, writing, and other academic (school, learning, inside) stuff. I am NOT an outdoorsy person! Are you?
I have lots of friends. One of my very best friends is Kate! Who are your friends?
I like indoor things, like reading and barbies, (it's OK if you think I'm babyish), but I also like biking and stuff like that. What are your hobbies?
I am an animal lover. I used to have a mouse called Cutie, then one called Angel. Before my little bother was born, we had a cat called Peanut. Do you like animals?
I am New Zealand European, but I had an 18x great grandfather that was Scottish, and a king also! I am also a bit of other stuff. What country are you from?
My family are Christians, and we go to church. What religion are you?
I love watermelon, pineapple and other fruits. I am lactose intolerant, so I can't have dairy. What foods do you like?
I think I've said enough for now. I can't wait to hear from you!!!
Yours Sincerely (just wanted to be proper)
Diana Pulman
What: I learnt that you need to ask questions to get answers.
Why: We did this to get to know other people.
Next: Maybe not put so much info!!!
Term 4: 'Managing Self'
What: I learnt that I am good at managing myself.
Why: We did this to help us understand what we needed to get better at.
Next: Two goals I want to achieve this term are: keeping my desk tidy (unlike my extremely messy bedroom) and not fidgeting with things on the mat. I hate sitting still, and I'm a very messy person, but hopefully I'll improve this term!
