Kia ora Noah,
ReplyDeleteA nice summary of what is going with the Paralympics. I wondered how we were doing. Have you been watching? What is your prediction? Do you think we will get more medals and why?
Looking forward to future blog posts,

Hey Noah!
ReplyDeleteLots of information here! That’s really cool! I like that you’ve said where the paralympics are, when it takes place and even a rundown of our medals tally.
I watched Lisa Adams get her medal. Her sister was so happy and I bet her son was too!
Do you think you could make it a little personal and include which sport you enjoyed watching? Or maybe even some pictures of what our athletes look like?
I really enjoyed that Noah! Thanks
