    Kia ora.  After so long, we are able to gather together again.  I am looking forward to seeing some of you face-to-face.  I know that some of you are anxious, and may take a little longer to come back to site, but I am excited to get back to MHJC and to hear what you have achived over the past few months.  This week I have set reading comprehension tasks for you on Education Perfect.  I would like us to be able to read novels, but am not sure we have the time (or the access to the school library) for us to make this a reality this year.
