READCYCLEREAD
Last Thursday we had two visitors come to school, Julian and Milly Read.  Jay (Julian) is Mrs Read's Brother in-law. What was so special about these two people were, they have just arrived in New Zealand from cycling all the way from London. They left in March 2018 and arrived in New Zealand just a few weeks ago.They visited 24 different countries and have cycled 15000 kms. We asked loads of questions about their trip like what challenges they were faced with, how many haircuts did they have, what animals did you see, what type of food did you eat and what the most scariest moment was etc. If you want to find out more about what and where they are click on this link http://readcycleread.bike/ .

    1. Kia ora Mahara, their surname is Read and I guess its a play on title so you read cycle read. I hope this makes sense. ;)

    1. Tena koe Ellakaye. I am glad you like the description. The Whenua students and I sat down wrote it together. No to answer your question, it has taken Jay and Milly just over a year to complete. They are now finally home in Wellington.

    1. Well Aysha, I was pretty excited has I haven't seen my brother and sister in-law for a couple of years. I was just excited about them visiting our school too. The students of Paroa were also excited and asked lots of big questions. They also liked checking out their bikes.
