Summer learning journey- arriving in New Zealand

Activity 1

It is widely believed that the first people to arrive in New Zealand came from Polynesia. Most historians believe that they landed in New Zealand over 700 years ago. Although they were originally from many different countries, these settlers learned to live together and, eventually, formed their own distinct culture known as ‘Māori.’  Māori have their own language, traditions, and culture.

Please give me some feedback that would be great.

Don’t let the pigeon stay up late

I think the pigeon should not stay up late!

I don’t think it’s a good idea because the pigeon might be grumpy and angry because he did not get his 10 hours sleep.

I don’t think the pigeon should stay up late because the pigeon might have a busy day tomorrow like running swimming or a flying race the next day.

I don’t think he should go to bed because if he sleeps he might get a treat tomorrow in the morning and it might be yummy.
