Hi Jess
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you have set out this activity. It is great that i photo is at the top so we can see who you are talking about and then you follow up with all the information. It's great that you give us a small profile first and then the three facts. Well done.
Jenny Shipley will always be a big part of New Zealand Political history as she was the first women to become Prime Minister. Even though she wasn't elected in an election.
I didn't know that she was a teacher before she went into politics so thank you for let us know that.
Maybe you might like to be Prime Minister one day?
Do you know what Jenny Shipley does now?
I have not seen or heard of her for a long time. I wonder what she is up to these days?
Well done Jess you have researched and found some really good information.
Until next time
Allie :)
