  2. Kia ora Rikki,

    Thank you for uploading this again. I am now able to see your post about Sir Geoffrey Palmer. Thank you!

    Great work using the template to complete this activity! I hadn't heard of Sir Geoffrey Palmer until I read your blog post so it was a really interesting read. He was Prime Minister even before I was born! Being Prime Minister for only one year seems like a rather short time. Do you know why he was only Prime Minister of New Zealand for only one year?

    Also, what did you mean by "London, United Kingdom"? Is this where he lives now or was he born there? I'd be interested to know more! :)

    Keep up the great blogging!

    Noho ora mai,
