    I really enjoyed reading about making good choices. I might ask you a next level question, which is Why is stealing wrong? Is it because it is against the law? How do you think the people who are stolen from feel?

    You don't know me yet, but I'm Mark, a teacher working for the Summer Learning Journey you signed up for at the end of term. I just thought I would remind you that it still exists for you if you want something to do during the holidays.

    There are loads of activities and learning opportunities about travel and the world if you are interested. The best part about it is that you get to choose what you learn. There are also lots of travelers and teachers like me commenting on each post, making this a really fun programme for feedback!

    I hope to see you online soon, but if not, I hope you have a lovely holiday,

    Kia kaha,

    Mark
