    Hi Tia,

    I'm so glad that you've chosen to participate in the Summer Learning Blogging program!!
    I'm reading your blog from my home in Canada where we are having a very wintery time. Our yard it covered in snow and it's pretty chilly outside, but beautiful!
    I'm interested in your pepeha because we don't have the custom of introducing ourselves in this way. It's a super way of giving people a quick view of where you come from and to which family you belong. Well done!
    I'll look forward to reading more of your blogs!

    Leslie

    Hi Tia,

    My name's Ruby and I'm one of the people who will be blogging with you as part of the Summer Learning Journey program. It's great to see that you've been working away on these activities. Well done!

    Great work with your pepeha. I think it's great to know more about our whakapapa and our pepeha's also help us understand who we are and where we belong. It's a very important process I think!

    I like how you have included the video of how to build a pepeha here. If your readers are interested in telling their story in this way, the video will come in handy!

    I look forward to reading more of your blogs over summer. Keep up the good work!
    Cheers,
    Ruby.
