Hi Mason,
ReplyDeleteRuby here from the Summer Learning Journey team!
Good work with this activity. You've ranked the activities well but you haven't told us why you've ranked them like this! It would be great if you could include some more information about why you have put them in this order. That way you can get full points for this activity! :)
When I ranked them I put Te Puku o Te Ika in first place and Tamatea Arikinui in second place. I loved how they harmonised and made one big sound when they all sang together in Te Puku o Te Ika.
I look forward to reading more of your blog over the summer.
Cheers,
Ruby.
